The situation in North America before the start of the second day of qualifiers for The International 2022

The second gaming day starts today as part of The International 2022: North America Qualifier. For a better understanding of what is happening in the region, we will recall how the matches of the first game day went.

The teams got away with no surprises. The victories were won by the clubs that showed the best results at the regional level during the season, while the opponents that performed worse all year went to the lower bracket to fight for survival in qualifying.

• Soniqs vs felt - 2:0
• ALPHA vs. 5RATFORCESTAFF - 0:2
