While it’s no surprise to see them on top, fans might be surprised at how T1 has been performing so far.īut Eastern European team Virtus Pro will be kicking themselves for missing a chance to go clear on top of Group B. It’s arguable that all three of the top teams in Group B at the end of day one are amongst the top favorites to come out of the LCQ- even Evil Geniuses’ Artour “Arteezy” Babaev agreed. Primal Beast TI11 Battle Pass set now available.Exclusive: Arteezy talks the top teams at TI11 Last Chance Qualifier, main event.As more games play out between these four squads, we’ll get a better idea as to who will be favored for claiming one of the two direct invite slots.

While most will favor Secret and NAVI from this group, Vici and Polaris have each taken a game off the two teams respectively. And while they hold the top spot heading into the second day, Team Secret, Polaris Esports, and Vici Gaming continue to gun for the top spot.
#FINALSHOT ESPORTS SERIES#
NAVI had a clean day one, with both series wins coming against nouns and Tempest. While there’s still a chance for the two teams to pull themselves out of the mire on day two, it’s likely that these two will be the teams starting their playoff campaign-and the final shot at TI qualification-in the lower bracket. Nouns and Tempest had torrid first days, with the sole victory coming in nouns against Team Secret. It wasn’t a great day for North and South American teams-just four wins shared between the four squads from the region on day one, with the two teams in Group A only providing one. Group A already sees a chasm forming between the teams. TI11 Last Chance Qualifier standings after day 1 Group A STANDING Here’s a recap of what happened on day one. After one day of competition, some pre-tournament favorites performed, and some didn’t. The 11th edition of The International kicked off today, with 12 teams vying for just two more slots to the main event. Aaron and the leader talked video game speak for a while and in that moment, Aaron was open, talking, and building a relationship with someone he previously would have been too shy to talk with.Whether fans consider it officially part of the pursuit for the Aegis of Champions or not, the stakes have never been higher in the TI11 Last Chance Qualifier. The next time he saw one of our leaders (who he barely knew) he walked over and began a conversation around video games.


His face, body language, and interpersonal interaction changed and he opened up to others in the group for the first time. Immediately making a difference in the game, he found his place, a belonging, a space where he shined. Very comfortable now, Aaron began to put his video game skills on display for all to see and became one that others wanted to play with. Within minutes, he was having fun and helping his teammates win. Aaron, with some coaxing, sat down and picked up a controller at one of our esports events and began playing. Those who know him would be super surprised if he would walk over to somebody he doesn’t know and start a conversation. He is quiet, keeps to himself, hangs on the outer edge of typical teen group events, and doesn’t participate in group conversations. Aaron* is young, short high-schooler with little to no athletic ability.
