PuckChamp risks missing out on The International 11 Qualifiers
The CIS team PuckChamp may be excluded from the regional qualifiers for The International 11. The team parted ways with 3 players from its previous roster.
According to DPC season regulations, all teams that attended the DPC Summer Tour will participate in the regional qualifiers for The International 11, but on the condition that they retain at least 3 players from that roster. Currently, the official team registration site has only 2 players from the previous PuckChamp roster, ??Nikita "young G" Bochko and ??Abdimalik "Malik" Sailau. Also, the team has a newcomer ??Vladimir "RodjER" Nikogosian.
Earlier, former PuckChamp member Andrey "Dukalis" Kuropatkin reported that he and 2 other players, ??Alexandr "krylat" Krylatov and ??Henadzi "Astral" Motuz were excluded from the team. Officially, the team representatives confirmed the changes in the roster but didn't say whether all 3 players left the team.
Regional Qualifiers take place after PGL Arlington Major 2022. Each region will have its own qualifying round, after which the winner receives a direct invitation to The International 11, and 2 other teams go to the Wild Card stage.
