Nigma is taking the last slot for TI2026! Last year, the same lineup—SumaiL, OmaR, and GH—reached the top 5–6 in these qualifiers. And now they’ve added lorenof to the mix! I’m really happy for him, by the way. Based on his overall impact this season, he’s one of the best mid laners—he’s finally found a roster to take him to TI. Way to go!
The young players from YeS had another strong run; Xakoda and his teammates just fell a bit short. Just like last year—from the open qualifiers all the way to the decisive match against Nigma,
and this time even down to the very last map before TI. And once again, the score was 1-2, and once again, they were eliminated… Brutal! But the guys definitely still have their best days ahead of them. Today, the veterans came out on top.
That’s it for the qualifiers! Next up: EWC, starting July 7
Earlier, Nigma Galaxy defeated Yellow Submarine 2-1 in the lower bracket final of the European closed qualifiers for The International 2026, securing their spot in the main tournament. In addition to Nigma, L1GA TEAM, Team Spirit, and PARIVISION also secured spots from the region.
