Natus Vincere Junior Dota 2 coach Ivan ArtStyle Antonov shared his opinion regarding the upcoming qualifiers for The International 2023. In an interview on the club’s Telegram channel, he noted that there would be no favorite in the CIS qualifiers, since the strongest representatives of the region qualified for TI12 by DPC points.

Now we are resting and starting to prepare for qualifiers for three weeks. Let’s see what happens. The competition, once more, will be very good for the NAVI team, I think. Because all tier-1 teams from the CIS will leave and there will be such a fierce meat grinder, there will be almost no such clear favorites left, and it will be such a battle of the homeless.

The qualifiers for The International 2023 for teams from the CIS will be held online from 22 to 26 August. 13 teams will compete for one slot in the TI12 group stage. Natus Vincere Junior will start qualifying from the second round of the lower bracket. According to DPC points from the region, 9 Pandas, Team Spirit and BetBoom Team qualified for the tournament.
