The final eight teams attending the first major of the 2017 competitive Dota 2 season have been decided. Four regional qualifiers held over the past weekend saw 35 squads compete for their respective regions invites, to compete for a share of a $3 million prize pool in Boston with the eight directly invited teams.Team Faceless, WG.Unity, Ad Finem, Virtus Pro, Team NP, Complexity Gaming, LGD.Forever Young and IG.Vitality advance to the Boston Major, which takes place December 3-10 in Bostons Wang Theatre at the Citi Performing Arts Center.The biggest surprises of the qualifiers came from the European region, where the traditional balance of power was turned on its head. Though Team Liquid and Team Secret both made the EU region playoffs, both also failed to make it through the final gauntlet to Boston. Ad Finem, on the other hand, advanced through the playoffs 4-0 to clinch the top spot, while Virtus Pro was dropped to the losers bracket by Liquid, who VP beat later to secure a berth to Boston. Team Liquid and Secret, as well as several other notable EU squads like Alliance, Natus Vincere and Vega Squadron, will all be watching the Boston Major from their couches this December.The Americas region qualifiers, the subject of controversy heading into the regional qualifiers, saw a surprising run for Infamous, a Peruvian team that took matches off some of the best in their bid for the quarters. Team NP had a series of surprising and sometimes baffling plays, but ultimately succeeded at clinching the top spot, with North American regulars Complexity eking out a win over Infamous for the second qualification.In the Southeast Asian region, Faceless were a favorite going into the tournament, but WG.Unity upset both Fnatic and Mineski in a run for the second qualifier spot. Fnatic, a team made up of titans like Chai Mushi Yee Fung and Jimmy DeMoN Ho, only took fourth in the group stage and dropped out of the playoffs in two series.The Chinese region saw some of the greatest competition, as clubs like CDEC Gaming, Vici Gaming and Invictus Gaming all fell short of the playoff mark. LGD.Forever Young, hot off a strong 3-0 at the Nanyang Cruise Cup group stages, pushed even further to secure the first spot into Boston under seasoned captain Zhang xiao8 Ning. LGD Gaming proper had a strong showing in groups, but IG Vitality were the main squads Achilles heel, dealing LGD their only losses throughout the qualifiers and seizing the second qualifier spot in a 2-1 elimination match.These eight teams will join Wings Gaming, Digital Chaos, Evil Geniuses, OG, Newbee, Execration, EHOME and MVP Phoenix in Boston to compete for a $3 million prize pool and bragging rights in the first major title of 2017.

Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less. SAN DIEGO -- Edwin Jackson knows better but he couldnt do anything about it against the Chicago Cubs.You cant fall behind, especially against a team like this, he said. It just wasnt a great job by me.The Cubs hit Jackson (3-4) for three home runs en route to a 5-1 victory over the San Diego Padres on Monday night.The main thing with this lineup is you have to establish yourself in the strike zone early, said Jackson, a former Cub. If you get behind to a team like this, you are going to put yourself in a place where you have to come over the plate.The results were homers by Addison Russell, Kris Bryant and Jason Hayward.Ultimately, I paid for it, Jackson said.Jackson gave up five runs and seven hits in five innings. The right-hander struck out two and walked four, one intentionally, as he snapped a three-start winning streak.The Padres, who have lost seven of nine, had only one runner reach third base in the opening five innings.Bryants solo shot in the fifth inning was his 32nd of the year, tying him with Colorados Nolan Arenado for the National League lead.Russell added his third home run in two days, and the struggling Heyward -- recently benched to rest mentally -- got his first since July 29. Anthony Rizzo had four hits.Lester (14-4) limited the Padres to a run and five hits in six innings. He struck out eight and walked two in winning for the 10th time in his last 11 decisions. The left-hander improved to 5-0 with six quality starts out of seven since the All-Star break.Game after game after game you kind of know what to expect from him right now, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. He had really good stuff tonight.The NL Central-leading Cubs have won six of their last eight games and 20 of 25.Lester was lifted at 100 pitches after Alex Dickerson and Christian Bethancourt opened the seventh with singles.I just try to go pitch and do a good job, Lester said. Thats all I worry about. The main numbeer for me that Im always concerned about is 200 innings.dddddddddddd If thats there, then all the other stuff is kind of gravy.Justin Grimm, the first of three relievers, came on and allowed a run on a wild pitch when striking out Ryan Schimpf.San Diegos only other threat was in the sixth, as Brett Wallace advanced to third on a one-out single and two-base error by Heyward in right when he overran the ball. But Lester struck out Travis Jankowski looking and, after a walk to Alexei Ramirez, struck out Wil Myers with a devastating curveball.Chicago pulled away with a three-run fifth, which featured two home runs. Bryant led off with arching shot into the left-center field seats. After Rizzos double, Heyward hit his long fly for a 5-0 advantage.(Jackson) wasnt that far off, Padres manager Andy Green said. Other than the two pitches (to Russell and Heyward) he wasnt that bad. That is a tough lineup to navigate.The Cubs forged ahead 2-0 in the third as Jackson struggled with his command. Rizzo singled in between walks to Dexter Fowler and Ben Zobrist. That set up Russells sacrifice fly for his second RBI in two innings.Russell slugged Jacksons 86-mph slider for a home run in the second, his third solo blast in two days for a 1-0 edge.TRAINERS ROOMPadres: OF Jabari Blash was placed on the disabled list with a sprained left finger.UP NEXTCubs: RHP Jake Arrieta (15-5, 2.75 ERA) prevailed in his last outing on Thursday against Arizona, but he wasnt sharp. Arrieta, who has nine road wins, had a career-high seven walks and allowed five runs in 5 2/3 innings.Padres: LHP Christian Friedrich (4-9, 4.69 ERA) looks to snap a three-start losing streak as he has dropped seven of his past nine outings. He was effective on Wednesday against Tampa Bay, working 6 2/3 innings of two-run ball.
