TI13 Qualifiers: West Europe (WEU) & East Europe (EEU) Qualifiers Teams

Teams list for the TI13 West Europe (WEU) Closed/Regional qualifiers:

• Tundra Esports
• PSG Quest
• OG
• Team Secret
• Entity
• Mouz
• NAVI Junior
• Nigma Galaxy
• Twisted Minds
• Just Better
• +2 teams from the open qualifiers

Only two spots are reserved for West Europe at the International 2024 (TI 2024). West Europe has been home to multiple TI champions over the past years, such as OG and Tundra. It also houses other TI winners, such as Puppey, Kuroky, Miracle, Sumail, GH, and others.

Needless to say, the region is stacked with some of the best Dota 2 teams in the world fighting for a spot at TI13.

Determining the two favourites is difficult, but Tundra Esports and OG are the front runners to qualify for TI 2024. These two teams have played the most LAN tournaments this year and sit in a comfortable position to navigate through troubled waters compared to other teams.

However, Team Secret and Entity are gaining momentum, especially after qualifying for the Riyadh Masters 2024. Other notable teams like Mouz, Nigma Galaxy, and PSG Quest are also in the fray and might emerge as the dark horses.

Overall, it will be an uphill battle for all teams competing in the TI13 WEU Closed/Regional Qualifiers. West Europe has the most number of teams at TI13: 3 direct invites & 2 teams from the closed qualifiers.

Teams list for the TI13 East Europe (EEU) Closed/Regional qualifiers:

• NAVI
• Virtus Pro
• 1win
• L1GA Team
• Night Pulse
• Nemiga Gaming
• One Move
• Yellow Submarine
• 9Pandas
• +2 teams from the open qualifiers

Virtus Pro looks poised to qualify for The International 2014 through the TI13 East Europe qualifiers, especially after their performance at The Riyadh Masters 2024 qualifiers, wherein they finished first and secured the only qualifying spot.

NAVI, while being a distant second to VP, also has the potential to qualify for TI13. However, some might argue that they have been inconsistent with their performances so far. They are struggling to close the games even after gaining a significant lead, as evident in the series against VP for the Riyadh Masters 2024 spot.

How things unfold at the Eastern European camp will be a surprise.
