Although it seems very tight from the end of the EPICENTER Major qualification, the implementation of Starladder ImbaTV Minor S2 seems to have begun to get a team that has been selected to take part in the tournament.
The first two regions that have appointed representatives are China with 2 and CIS with 1 team. Curious about anyone? Let’s listen!
EHOME (China)
Even though have to take part in an open qualification, it doesn’t seem to make EHOME lose direction. Evidently, they succeeded in escaping and heading for closed qualification.
Even more surprising, in the group stage where EHOME joined Group A with Team Sirius and Newbee Ferarri_430 and friends managed to bulldoze the two teams that got this direct invite!
Not only stopped there, EHOME’s ferocity continued until the playoffs where they managed to crush fellow Typhoon E-Sports Club qualifying team with a score of 2-0.
Finally, in the final upper bracket, the TI 2011 runner-up team again defeated Team Sirius for the second time with a promising score of 2-0.
The return of Faith_bian and the varied EHOME drafts seems to have successfully delivered them to Starladder ImbaTV Minor S2 even though they had to go through open qualifications first
Team Sirius (China)
Undergoing a second qualification after being formed, it seems Team Sirius has shown positive results by becoming the second team from China to qualify for Starladder ImbaTV Minor S2.
Able to reach the final upper bracket even though EHOME finally had to defeat it, it didn’t make the team immediately lose their chance.
Getting a second life playing in the loser final against Keen Gaming, Sylar who has returned to the carry position does not seem to miss a chance.
Although Keen Gaming dominated the first game with an aggressive game which ended with a 31-9 score for Keen Gaming, Team Sirius was able to rampage in the next 2 games.
The qualifying of Team Sirius is also the first DPC tournament they participated in. Interesting, of course how to see the team’s first debut will run smoothly or even be stumped.
Winstrike (CIS)
In addition to Team Sirius, who for the first time felt the DPC tournament, in the CIS region Winstrike also seemed to be a team with the same fate.
Obtaining direct invite in the Starladder ImbaTV Minor S2 closed qualifications, it seems they are not wasting their ability to play well.
Although not getting perfect points in the group by winning 1 victory and 1 draw, the result turned out to be enough to make Winstrike perched on top.
The positive results continued until the semifinals, where they managed to bury Team Colizeum RU’s hopes with a score of 2-0.
Finally, in the final they were also able to stop Natus Vincere’s dominance in qualifying with a score of 2-1.
Meanwhile, Starladder ImbaTV Minor S2 still leaves 5 places from 4 regions which are still contested by several teams including BOOM ID who joined the SEA closed qualification.
