TI10 SEA Qualifier Bracket Has Been Revealed

The TI10 SEA  qualifier bracket has been released following the elimination of TNC Predator from the WePlay AniMajor and the subsequent failure to qualify for TI10 directly. Since only T1 has guaranteed a spot at TI10, the remaining 15 teams from the upper and lower divisions of the SEA DPC Season 2 will play in this BO3 double-elimination qualifier bracket. The TI10 SEA qualifier begins on June 30, 2021, and ends on July 3, possibly with the grand finals, which, unlike the rest of the series, will be a BO5 affair. The winner of the SEA regional qualifier will be the second team from the region to qualify for TI10.
