As China's regional qualifier for the upcoming World Championships of Dota 2 is underway, fans around the world speculate which of the 14 teams will qualify for The International 10.
After last year’s cancelation due to the worldwide pandemic, The International is set to return this year to appease the Dota 2 community with much-needed competition and excitement.
Following the Dota 2 Pro Circuit (DPC) season, the top 12 teams from the DPC leaderboard have been given direct invites for the upcoming International.
But for the remaining six slots, qualifiers are being held in all of the six different regions, and only the winner from these qualifiers will stand the chance to compete for the Aegis of Champions.
While four of these qualifiers are already done and the teams have been confirmed, the Western Europe and China regional qualifiers still go on.
China regionals qualifiers for the Dota 2 TI10
China's regional qualifiers started on July 7 with 10 teams qualifying through previous open qualifiers.
The 14 qualifying teams for the China qualifiers are:
- Elephant
- EHOME
- Phoenix gaming
- Royal Never Give Up
- LBZS
- Sparking Arrow Gaming
- Astger.Aries
- Team MagMa
- CDEC
- Xtreme Gaming
While these 10 teams are worthy of their spot, some already have a history in previous TI while others are filled with all-star members from past juggernauts. One of the most mentionable names is Elephant as they have attained a grand status in the Dota 2 community.
The Dota 2 roster of Elephant comprises:
- Zhang “Eurus” Chengjun
- Lu “Somnus丶M” Yao
- Zhou “Yang” Haiyang
- Xu “fy” Linsen
- Xie “Super” Junhao
Among these members, fy and Somnus have been cogs of the previous PSG.LGD Dota 2 roster that went up against OG in the TI8 Grand Finale. Despite their brilliance, the match ended in a bitter 2-3 loss for the former.
Given their past history and long-time friendship with veterans Eurus, Yang, and Super, there is a huge chance that Elephant might wade through the China regional qualifiers to compete in the upcoming Dota 2 world championship, The International 10.
