1win Qualify For The International 2024
The 1win Dota 2 squad took down 9Pandas in the qualification match for The International 2024 after a scrappy series. They have become the sole participants to make it out of the Eastern European qualifiers, as only one slot was provided.
This isn’t the first big event the 1win squad qualified for. Under Klim Sani4, the team won the ESL One Birmingham 2024 qualifiers, but could not attend the tournament due to last-minute visa issues.
The Grand Final series against 9Pandas ended with a 3-0 scoreline, but the series was closer than it looked. Game 1 was highly entertaining, as we got to see kiyоtaka’s signature Tinker in a 57-minute game. Despite an extraordinary performance from the young player, 1win still took the win.
After bringing the momentum from a Game 1 victory, 1win continued to dominate the series with a relatively convincing performance in the second and third maps to sweep the series.
This result means notable teams such as Natus Vincere and Virtus.pro will miss out on The International 2024. Still, there are two directly-invited Eastern European teams; Team Spirit, and the BetBoom Team.
