The coach of Team Bald Reborn, Jean "Gorgc" Stefanovski, summed up the open qualifications for The International 2026. In an interview with Jake "SirActionSlacks" Kanner on YouTube, he called the match against L1GA TEAM the best game of the qualifiers and admitted that he regrets the missed opportunity to play with the stack of Topson and Arteezy the most.
Jean "Gorgc" StefanovskiThe best game was definitely the match against L1GA TEAM in a best-of-1 format. They were the best team of the qualifiers, finishing in first place. We were so close to winning – we had a 90% chance to win the race to destroy the thrones. And most importantly, after winning, we would have faced the stack of Topson and Arteezy. That would have been really cool, but we didn't make it. A painful defeat.
Team Bald Reborn was assembled on June 8, 2026, specifically for The International 2026. In the second open qualifier, the team took first place and advanced to the closed stage, which will take place from June 21 to June 28 – where 16 teams will compete for four slots in the main tournament of the year.
