VOID Boys take TI6 NA Open Qualifiers 2

The TI6 NA Open Qualifiers 2 has come to an end. VOID Boys landed the second TI6 NA Regional Qualifiers spot, after besting EG Bulba, 2:1, in the finals. The regional qualifiers will begin June 25 at 19:00 CEST with the best-of-one series for the group stage.

VOID Boys edged out EG Bulba 2:1, in the finals of TI6 NA Open Qualifiers 2.

It was an incredibly long night of playing for the Americas teams. Besides a long string of games played, the brackets had to be rolled back after an administrative mistake of advancing the wrong team. The Grand Finals for the TI6 NA Open Qualifiers 2 ended while SEA and EU regional qualifiers were already underway.

The newly revamped team was eliminated early in the first round of TI6 NA Open Qualifiers – failing to advance beyond round of 64.

The Canadian/US mix came back for the TI6 NA Open Qualifiers 2 with sheer determination.

The America’s team grabbed the second TI6 NA Regional Qualifiers spot. The team was forced to register for the open qualifiers when they became ineligible for a direct invite into the Regional Qualifiers for Americas, due to roster changes made outside the transfer window.

For the Manila Major the team had a roster consisting of Canadian and Chinese players and tried their hand at the SEA regional qualifiers. After not seeing success, the team was reformed with players from America and Canada.

VOID Boys will go up against Digital Chaos, FDL, compLexity, Vultur, Drinking Boys and Evil Geniuses. The qualifiers are scheduled to take place between June 25th-28th.
