The International 10 CIS qualifiers bracket is revealed
After Team Spirit left WePlay AniMajor, the full bracket of The International 10 Qualifiers in the CIS appeared. The qualifiers will include all teams that competed in the second season of DPC: CIS, except Virtus Pro, who got a direct invitation to TI. According to tournament rules, teams can make no more than 2 substitutions in the main roster. Otherwise, they will be disqualified.
There was seeding among the teams, which determined the initial pairs of the qualifiers. The main seeding criteria were DPC points and the results of the second DPC season. Remember that 1st place in the Lower Division is valued higher than 8th place in the Upper Division. The initial pairs at the tournament are as follows:
- 1st place plays with 8th place;
- 2nd place plays with 7th place;
- 3rd place plays with 6th place;
- 4th place plays with 5th place.
This seeding applies to both the Upper and Lower brackets. Because Virtus Pro has already received an invitational, Team Empire gets a technical win in the first round.
