Goonsquad shocked Dota 2 fans at the start of the Western European qualifier for The International 2022 after unexpectedly beating Nigma Galaxy with a score of 2:1. The KuroKy’s team is one step away from elimination and will now face Brame in the lower bracket of the playoffs.

Goonsquad, in turn, will play against Team Liquid, who defeated DGG Esports without any problems. Team Secret and Entity Gaming will meet in the other semi-final.

We remind you that the winner of the regional qualifications will receive a ticket to the group stage of TI11, which will be held from October 15 to 18.

As reported by CyberScore, Royal Never Give Up and Soniqs won the qualifiers in the Chinese and North American regions, respectively, while BetBoom Team proved to be stronger than anyone else in Eastern Europe and Hokori triumphed in South America.
