North America, it’s time to put the salt away, and instead put your nose to the grindstone.
The TI12 NA qualifiers kick off with nouns — the only other NA team besides Shopify Rebellion and TSM — as the overwhelming favorites.
But other teams are looking to spoil the party, including a revamped Wildcard Gaming, Danil “Dendi” Ishutin’s B8, and Team DogChamp.
What is the TI12 NA qualifiers?
From August 17 to 21, 13 teams from the North American Dota Pro Circuit gather for one last shot.
This is the final chance for participating teams to claim the sole slot to The International 12, set to be held in Seattle in October.
