DOTA 2 TI10 International is just around the corner. Here's what we know about the upcoming event!
What is the European Regional Qualifier?
The Europe Regional Qualifier is the final competition for all Western European teams who didn’t earn enough DPC Points to enter The International 10. A total of 14 teams will compete in a double-elimination bracket, with all matches played in a best-of-three format (B03), except for the Grand Final, which will be a best-of-five series (B05).
The tournament roster is integrated by all the teams that participated in the DOTA Pro Circuit (DPC) Season 2.
The Last Call for some of the biggest names in DOTA 2
This year, the stakes are juicier than ever. It is the last opportunity for two-year consecutive champions and TI9 defending champion, OG. They suffered big changes in their roster and the fact that now they are the rival to beat.
We have to wait if they will be able to recreate their amazing Cinderella story when they came from Qualifiers and emerged as the T8 champions.
They are not alone, as Team Liquid, the TI7 champions and Team Nigma, a new organization that have in their roster, 4 former champions: Miracle, Mind Control, Kuroky, and GH, as part of this tournament. This is their last ticket for the European region.
The winner will join Team Secret and Alliance in Stockholm at TI10 this August 5th to dispute a prize pool of 40 million USD.
