Today, June 25, at 17:00 Moscow time, the second decisive match of the upper bracket of the closed European qualifiers for The International 2026 will take place. Virtus.pro and TEAM VISION will meet for a direct slot at the World Championship in Shanghai.
Both teams approached this series undefeated in the upper bracket. Virtus.pro defeated Inner Circle with a score of 2:1, and then Yellow Submarine. TEAM VISION swept 4ikibamboni and Power Rangers – both series ended 2:0.
The loser of the match between Virtus.pro and TEAM VISION will not be eliminated from the tournament but will continue their journey through the lower bracket. However, for both organizations, this is the shortest path to The International 2026: four slots for the main tournament of the season are contested through the closed European qualifiers.
The match will be held in a best-of-3 format. Earlier on the same day at 14:00, Team Spirit and Nigma Galaxy will also compete for a direct slot at TI 2026.
