Which Dota 2 Teams Clashing in Regional Qualifiers

By Jason Nieva @jnievaplayerone Published 06/14/21 EDT

With two seasons done, we finally have the first set of Dota 2 teams joining The International 10 through direct invites. Teams that didn’t get those invites still have a chance through the regional qualifiers. Today, we’ll take a look into those teams.

Now the rules are the same for all participating regions. All teams that were able to participate in the regional league, which didn’t get a direct invite, would join the regional qualifiers. The only limitation is that they didn’t replace more than two players from their last season's roster. The seeding is then based on the total DPC points followed by the standing in the final season.

The format is a double-elimination bracket with matches played in a best-of-three. Of course, the Grand Final is played in a best-of-five and the winner will go to TI.
