Here Are All the Teams Qualified for TI11

With the end of the Western Europe and Southeast Asia TI11 Regional Qualifiers last week, we now have the full list of the eighteen teams directly qualified for The International 2022 Group Stage. There are technically two slots left to fill via the Last Chance Qualifiers, but since that event will be held via an offline LAN in Singapore, it’s considered to be part of TI11 itself.

This compiled list, therefore, contains all of the teams that were invited via their Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) standings as well as all of the winners of the Regional Qualifiers. Here are the teams:

TI11 Qualified Teams

Invited Teams (via DPC standings, from 1st to 12th)

• PSG.LGD (CN)
• OG (WEU)
• Team Spirit (CIS)
• beastcoast (SA)
• Team Aster (CN)
• Thunder Awaken (SA)
• BOOM Esports (SEA)
• TSM (NA)
• Tundra Esports (WEU)
• Gaimin Gladiators (WEU)

• Fnatic (SEA)

Regional Qualified Teams

There are twenty slots in total for this year’s The International, with the two final slots going to the top two teams from the Last Chance Qualifiers. This LAN event will be held live in Singapore from October 8 to October 12 and will feature twelve runners-up from the Regional Qualifiers (two from each region).

Here are the teams competing for the Last Chance Qualifiers:

• nouns (NA)
• Wildcard Gaming (NA)
• Infamous (SA)
• Tempest (SA)
• Team Secret (WEU)
• Team Liquid (WEU)
• Outsiders (CIS)
• Natus Vincere (CIS)
• Xtreme Gaming (CN)
• Vici Gaming (CN)
• Polaris Esports (SEA)
• T1 (SEA)

Once all twenty teams are confirmed, the TI11 Group Stages will commence from October 15 to October 18. The teams will be divided into Groups A and B. The top four teams from both groups are secured the Upper Bracket for the Playoffs, while the next four teams are going to the Lower Bracket. The two bottom teams from each group will be eliminated.

From there, the Playoffs will be played the same as is with almost every professional Dota 2 tournament: a double-elimination bracket with eight teams in the Upper Bracket and eight teams in the Lower Bracket. Matches will be played as a best of three for up to the Lower Bracket Final.

Finally, on October 30, the two best teams will battle it out in a best of five series in the Singapore Indoor Stadium for a shot at the Aegis of Champions and the prestige of winning The International 11. It will come with a hefty chunk of the prize pool, although at the time of writing the actual value of the winnings is unknown. Valve takes the prize from the earnings of the yearly Battle Pass, and the Pass itself is still currently ongoing.
