To lose in the first qualifying round, T1 still has the opportunity to compete in the second qualifying round. However, Joshua “Steel” Nissan and his teammates made fans disappointed with 1-2 defeat against Cosmis Divide, thereby officially the opportunity to compete in the finals. Before entering the match against Cosmis Divide, T1 was punished in the confrontation against TSM.
Leading TSM 1-0 and taking advantage of game 2, but T1 was tried to lose due to coach David Denis cheating in communication. Shortly thereafter, the T1 leadership also decided to suspend David Denis. Not achieving good achievements in 2021, T1 brought in many quality contracts towards the 2022 season more successfully, typically Steel from 100T.
However, even in the first official tournament of 2022, T1 was soon eliminated. Similar to T1, another famous organization in North America, TSM, also stopped because of the 0-2 defeat against Built by Gamers. After the 2021 season, TSM retained only two members, Yassine “Subroza” Taufik and Matthew “Wardell” Yu.
Despite the appearance of two talented players, Corey “Corey” Nigra and Daniel “Rossy” Abredrabo, TSM has not been able to find the cohesion in the game. At this time, VCT 2022: North America Stage 1 Challengers has identified 10 eligible teams including Sentinels, Team Envy, 100 Thieves, Cloud9 Blue, Version1, XSET, The Guard, NRG Esports, Evil Geniuses and Knights.
The other two tickets will be determined tomorrow 7/2. In the fourth round, Soniqs will wait for the team to win in the match of Pioneers – Luminosity. Meanwhile, the team owns 5 members of Vietnam, Rise, will meet the winning team in Built by Gamers and Akrew.
