Team Spirit qualified for The International 10

The International 10: Eastern Europe Qualifier is over. In an incredibly intense Grand Final Team Spirit beat Team Empire with the score of 3:2 and got a slot at TI10.

Even before the qualifiers started, Team Spirit were the favorites. The first serious rival for them was HellRaisers. Only due to the competent use of their opponent's mistakes, Spirit were able to make it to the grand final.

Unexpectedly for everyone, Team Empire reached the grand final, which managed to defeat CIS underdogs - HellRaisers. Most of all, the audience remembered Uladzislau "Petushara" Kazlouski for his amazing game, who left Team Empire before the qualifiers, but returned to the team soon.

Team Spirit won the first map, but in the next two they had to desperately fight off Team Empire and megacreeps, losing all their towers. It would seem that Empire is one step away from victory. But due to fatigue after the match against HR, the Team Empire players began to make mistakes and very annoyingly lost the fourth map. On the last and decisive map, Team Spirit banned all Petushara's signature heroes and, due to the opponent's tiredness, won the series.

The International 10: Eastern Europe (CIS) Qualifier was hold June 23-26.
