On June 26, the qualifiers for the CIS at The International 10 The winner of the qualification was Team Spirit, which was considered as the favorite of the competition even before the start. However, this does not mean that the qualifiers turned out to be predictable. Quite the opposite: there hasn’t been such a concentration of dramatic and unexpected events within the same qualification in our region for a long time. How Team Empire almost worked a miracle Alexey Solo Berezin and Sergey God Bragin failed, and the offlaners became the main characters, – in the material Cybersport.ru.

CIS is spectacular, but …
Despite the fact that most of the confrontations in the qualifiers were bright and interesting, a lot of questions remain about the overall level of the game. Stellar line-up Natus Vincere and AS Monaco Gambit, who performed at the Major, was eliminated almost in the first rounds. And the point is not that their rivals were so strong – rather, the leaders themselves lacked stability. In the CIS, there are still no strong “middle peasants” capable of demonstrating an acceptable result throughout the season. The same goes for Team Unique, which seemed to have risen towards the end of the DPC, but in the qualifiers it was again faded. Winstrike Team could hardly be attributed to serious contenders for the slot, but hardly anyone expected her to leave without a single won card. What can you even talk about if Nemiga managed to win a map in qualifying without a mid lane?
Hence, there are many incredible comebacks and coups during matches. Third card in opposition HellRaisers and Team Spirit will probably be remembered by many viewers: the Miposhka team was able to win back almost 20 thousand advantages against Medusa with Aegis. Yes, it looked impressive, but you can hardly expect to see a situation when three players substitute for Reverse Polarity and allow themselves to be taken under T4 at the top level. We got a bright moment, but it was created solely thanks to an HR error. And there were many similar situations in the qualifiers, which clearly indicates a rather mediocre general level of the entire region.
