TI12 EEU qualifiers: Schedule, results, standings, format, teams, where to watch

October will mark the first time in The International history that four EEU teams will be attending Dota 2’s premier event — with 12 squads fighting for just one more place in the TI12 EEU qualifiers.

The Eastern European region as of late has been dominated by three teams — BetBoom Team, Team Spirit, and 9Pandas — all of which are attending The International. It’s perhaps the most competitive EEU has ever been, and a fourth rep for the region is still to be decided.

Legendary organizations like Virtus Pro and Natus Vincere are in the mix, plus a few upstarts including HYDRA, One Move, and Nemiga Gaming. It’s winner takes all — and only one chance to make your mark.
