StarLadder and ImbaTV have partnered to bring a new iteration of the SLTV StarSeries League, which will now be called SL i-League StarSeries, with a staggering $200,000 on the line at the Minsk LAN finals in January 2016.

It has been nearly four months since the last SLTV StarSeries finals took place, from which Natus Vincere came out victorious, taking the first place prize of $22,000 after the grand final with EnVyUs.

ImbaTV, who are one of China's biggest game content producers, decided to partner up with StarLadder to bring the biggest StarSeries season yet, featuring $200,000 for CS:GO.



Natus Vincere are the reigning champions

The SL i-League StarSeries finals will feature eight teams, which is a two-team increase compared to the 13th season of SLTV StarSeries, coming from Europe, North America, the CIS region and China.

Apart from the quadruple increase in prizemoney ($150,000 more compared to Season XIII), the event will also move to a big 18,000-seater Minsk arena, where the finals will take place in January 2016.
