The TI11 Southeast Asia qualifier is nearly here. The top 15 teams from the SEA region will compete for the last remaining slots for The International 2022.

The winner of the tournament will advance directly to TI11’s group stage and join the 12 teams who’ve already qualified via DPC points. Meanwhile, the teams that finish in 2nd and 3rd in the tournament will continue their qualification run in the Last Chance Qualifier.

All eyes will be on T1, a team that brought onboard two back-to-back TI winners in Anathan “ana” Pham and Topias “Topson” Taavitsainen. They will compete against rival squads in the region, including Talon Esports, RSG, and Polaris Esports.

The winning team will join BOOM Esports and Fnatic and represent the SEA region at TI11 in Singapore.

The TI11 SEA qualifier will determine which team from the region will compete in Valve’s Dota 2 world championship.

Teams that participated in the third tour of the DPC season that did not qualify for TI11 are eligible to participate in the SEA qualifier. The teams are seeded based on their DPC point total followed by their standing in the final tour of the regional league.

The only squad that didn’t make it into the competition is Team SMG after the organization failed to register their players in time.
