TI11 Last Chance Qualifier teams
For returning or new fans, the concept of LCQ in the Dota 2 pro circuit might be foreign. This system is introduced for this year’s DPC and it allows for more teams to play at TI11. It also gives an edge to teams in the more competitive regions to qualify, who tend to be buried under the powerhouses even though they might be just as good for TI.
Who qualifies for the LCQ?
From every region’s TI11 qualifier, teams that placed 2nd and 3rd qualify for the TI11 LCQ. A total of twelve teams across all competitive regions will clash for the two remaining slots at TI11. The range of teams is vast: From legendary household names to Lower Division underdogs, we are set to witness an unpredictable qualifier.
Here are all the teams that will compete in the LCQ:
