The Hunger Games start tomorrow—or to be more precise: the European Closed Qualifiers for The International!
For PV, a 100/100 run is pretty straightforward. We know full well that Spirit should also qualify, but there’s a feeling that SOMETHING might go wrong. Plus, my prediction is that one team from the Open Qualifiers is definitely going to make it to The International!
We’re interested in watching and supporting the following teams: Rune Eaters, YeS, enjoy, VPP, and 4ikibamboni. But it’ll also be interesting to check out the Hooligans. So, good luck to the guys—and everyone else too! <...>
The European Closed Qualifier will take place online from June 21 to 28. Four teams will be selected from among the sixteen to advance to The International 2026. This year, the organizers have combined Eastern and Western Europe into a single region.
