L1GA TEAM — one of the standout teams from Eastern Europe — secured a spot at The International 2026 by coming through the lower bracket of the regional qualifiers. In the decisive match, the team defeated Virtus.pro, denying the veterans a chance to travel to Shanghai.
L1GA TEAM roster: ssnovv1, Mirage`, Corrupted, sayuw, and RESPECT. The team demonstrated convincing gameplay throughout the entire qualification cycle — in the open qualifiers, they hardly lost any maps.
TI 2026 will take place from August 20 to 23 in Shanghai at the Oriental Sports Center. Several teams from Eastern Europe will attend the main Dota 2 tournament of the year: in addition to L1GA TEAM, Shanghai will welcome Spirit, PARIVISION, HULIGANI, and Yellow Submarine, who qualified through the European qualifiers.
For VP, the result was painful — the organization did not qualify for either TI 2026 or EWC 2026. However, the club still has the option to showcase themselves in other tournaments this season.
