All Teams Qualified for The International 11

We are back to another episode of a TI qualifier featuring bloodthirsty teams from all regions eyeing the coveted slots in the grand event. Teams are in the do-or-die mode and if history repeats itself, we'll most definitely see some of the qualifier teams make it big at TI11.

If you want to keep track of all the qualified teams, you are at the right spot. A total of 12 teams have already secured their TI slots after accumulating enough DPC points throughout the year. These teams earn direct invitations and won't have to play in the qualifiers. Six teams booked a slot at TI11 through the Regional Qualifiers and two more teams qualify through the brutal Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ).

The TI11 Qualifiers have finally wrapped up. There have been plenty of surprises and upsets in each region. Let's take a look at the winners of the TI11 quals.

Fans first witnessed a huge upset in the EEU region. Outsiders, also known as Virtus.Pro, has been one of the most consistent teams in the region. They were undoubtedly the favorites of EEU and were in solid form to grab that coveted slot.

However, they were completely annihilated by BetBoom Team, who stormed from the Lower Bracket. BetBoom showed incredible improvement throughout the qualifier, taking down Nemiga Gaming, One Move, NAVI, and finally Outsiders in a Lower Bracket dash.

Interestingly, the SA region sees a similar pattern to the EEU qualifier. Infamous was easily the favorite to win the SA qualifier and they too had an undefeated performance that brought them straight to the finals. Hokori, on the other hand, dropped to the Lower Bracket early after losing to Tempest.

Hokori were quick on their feet to adjust and they soon found themselves demolishing Infamous 3-0 in the Grand Finals. The team will arrive in Singapore for TI11, fielding 4 players who would debut at their first-ever TI.

The Chinese region poses a different story in its TI11 qualifier. Royal Never Give Up (RNG) has consistently been a step ahead of its counterparts and the team showed no mercy throughout the qualifier. They went undefeated and destroyed Xtreme Gaming 3-0 in the Grand Finals.

It is no doubt that RNG would bring high-level Dota at TI11. The team fields a star-studded lineup including names like Lu "Somnus" Yao and Hu "kaka" Liangzhi. The team also has a rising carry player from Malaysia, Daniel "Ghost" Chan Kok Hong who will make his TI debut in Singapore this October.

Soniqs, previously known as Quincy Crew, has always been in the heart of NA Dota. It is exciting to see the team bounce back after a rough year when the team had multiple roster shuffles. Interestingly, Soniqs went a full circle to end up with Quincy Crew's OG roster, except this time around with Adrian "Fata" Trinks as team captain.

The team had some shaky moments throughout the qualifier but they absolutely smashed it right at the end. Soniqs successfully delivered a revenge match against nouns in the Grand Finals, winning 3-0. We'll be seeing the crew back on the stage of TI this October.

Talon Esports had a drastic rise in the pro scene from a Lower Division dash to attending its first Major and now securing a first TI. Prior to the qualifier, Talon had a rough period of time with weak performances in consecutive tournaments. From the PGL Arlington Major to the Gamers Galaxy HatYai and most recently, the ESL One Malaysia - the team placed near bottom.

But Talon proved their prowess in the SEA qualifier, defeating Polaris Esports in the Grand Finals. They also took out the crowd favorites, T1 - despite the organization signing TI-winning duo ana and Topson.

For a heavily competitive region, Entity made it look like a walk in the park. The team came from acquiring Creepwave in the Lower Division, climbed to Upper Division, securing a Major slot, and now winning the WEU TI11 Qualifier.

Entity remained undefeated in the entire qualifier, defeating household names like Team Liquid and Team Secret. Like carry player, Ivan "Pure" Moskalenko said in an interview with us, they really did show some Entity Dota in the qualifier.

Here are all the teams that won the TI11 qualifiers:

This year, Valve introduced the Last Chance Qualifiers (LCQ) to allow more participants in TI11. The 2nd and 3rd place of each region's qualifier will enter the LCQ and battle it out in a LAN setting to secure two final slots to TI11. This will be one extreme, yet entertaining bloodbath. The LCQ begins on October 8th and lasts until October 12th.

UPDATE: Team Secret is the first winner of TI11 LCQ. The team delivered a powerful Upper Bracket performance and secured the 11th TI for the captain, Clement "Puppey" Ivanov - continuing his TI legacy. Team Liquid is the second winner of TI11 LCQ, securing the final slot at TI11. The team had been through ups and downs throughout the year but delivered when it truly matters!
