...> One interesting development was the shocking elimination of Mouns—which, if not a sensation, was at least a somewhat surprising result. VP struggled a bit, while the Hooligans put together a strong run against PR. The final match was a complete rout. <...>
MOUZ lost to Yellow Submarine 2-0 and fell into the lower bracket of the closed qualifier, where they will face Inner Circle x Insanity in a single-elimination match tomorrow at 11:00 Moscow time. The International 2026 will take place August 13–23 in Shanghai.
