DAC Europe Qualifiers: HR to Main Event; PR and Na’vi to Wildcard
After three days of nonstop action, heart-wrenching matches and amazing plays, the Dota Asian Championships (DAC) European Qualifiers has finally come to a close with the up-and-coming with Russian team, Hellraisers, taking the slot to the main event and Power Rangers (PR) and Natus Vincere (Na’Vi) dropping to the wildcard stage of the tournament.
HR took the slot after going full distance against PR with a series score of 3-2. Despite having a one-game advantage coming up from the winner’s bracket, the Belorussian side made sure that the Russians will have to work hard for every single game they will play against them.
Before this match, PR beat Natus Vincere, 2-1, in the loser bracket finals of the qualifiers to get the second slot for the grand finals of the DAC European Qualifiers. HR already beat PR in the upper bracket finals of the said tournament.
With these results, the number of European teams going to China increases to four, with Team Secret already being invited directly to the main event.
It is interesting that all three of the teams who will go to China are hailing from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region, a sector known for its aggressive and no-holds-barred playstyle.
