Where to watch
Beyond the Summit has been entrusted with organizing the TI10 EU Qualifier. During the first two days, 7th and 8th July, two series will be played at once, so two streams will be running concurrently. You can watch the EU qualifier games on these Twitch links for Beyond the Summit.
The talent crew for the TI10 EU Qualifier games is yet to be announced.
The TI10 EU Qualifier will likely attract the most viewers due to the presence of former TI winners, Team Nigma and OG. The two giants of the game are likely to face fierce competition from teams such as Team Liquid, Tundra Esports, Vikin.gg and Brame. In the end, only one prevails and gets to play at TI.
It is only time that will tell, so don't miss Beyond the Summit's broadcasts from 7th July, 2021, for some spicy Dota 2 action.
