STORM named the team that has no chance and will be eliminated from The International 2024

Alexey "STORM" Tumanov believes that Nouns will be eliminated from The International 2024 without a chance, failing to show any decent performance even in the group stage of the championship.

The analyst shared this prediction during a Twitch stream.

"This lineup for The International... It's kind of okay, but then you look at Talon, Zero... It's missing a strong Chinese team and a stronger North American representative. I get that the region is in a bad spot. But at least one team from there was always strong enough to show something, at least in the group stage. But now you look at Nouns and realize they're going to get crushed in the group, and that's it – no North America"

He reminded everyone that the region has never had a vast number of strong teams, but Evil Geniuses would always make it to the world championship, showing a solid performance, at least in the group stage.

"You look at previous years. EG always showed up. They might have struggled overall at TI, but they played well in the group. But now you look, and your North American representative is Yuma and Lelis"

STORM has yet to predict the winner of the Dota 2 World Championship, but based on his comments, Talon Esports and Team Zero also have very slim chances of achieving great results at TI13.

Additionally, this year, there has been an unusual situation; a well-known analyst pointed out that with only 18 days left until the main esports event of the year for Dota 2, even the participants themselves do not have all the information about the tournament format and prize pool.
