The International 2022 (TI11) begins next weekend on the 8th October, as the Last Chance Qualifiers (LCQ) will determine the final two teams that will be playing in the Group Stages.
In a recent livestream, Team Bald Reborn captain and streamer, Janne "Gorgc '' Stefanovski gave his opinion on which teams will most likely advance from the Last Chance Qualifiers.
"VP [Virtus.pro] were extremely….I mean they were supposed to qualify for TI11, so they are considered as the heavy favorites to win it all. But they do tend to choke at LAN events"
While making fun of T1’s photoshopped pictures of Anathan "ana" Pham and Topias "Topson" Taavitsainen, he stated that it will be extremely difficult for the Southeast Asian team to advance.
"We have some Chinese teams here, you can’t sleep on these teams. You have Xtreme Gaming with Paparazi灬 & Vici Gaming with Yang. Actually, I’m gonna go with Xtreme Gaming as my 2nd choice."
Before ending the discussion, he noted that he would like to put Team Liquid as his second team to make it out of the LCQ. However, the team’s performances at LAN events didn’t impress him enough.
The Last Chance Qualifiers will begin next weekend, as 12 teams will compete against each other for the remaining two spots at TI11 as the qualifier begins on 8th Oct to 12th Oct.
