ESL Major原定于本周末，也就是3月15日在美国洛杉矶开战。而这次Major是自从15年法兰克福Major以来，第一次没有德国人参加的Major。

　　德国在Dota2职业圈中一直占据重要的一环，从最早的TI1德国科隆举办，到第一届Major在法兰克福举办，从小B神Black到现在的TI7冠军kky，Dota2始终离不开德国元素。德国选手一直活跃在一线职业圈内，最著名的就是Nigma队长Kuroky，Alliance的Fata，Liquid的快播哥qojqva和BA的Nine。

　　然而随着Black离开一二线职业圈，Nigma、Liquid无缘本次DPC赛事，Alliance和Nine所在的BA不敌茶队，Major没有一个德国选手参加，中断了这个持续五年的记录。
