More farewells ahead.

After four grueling days of the ESL One Berlin Major, we finally see the first team to bow out of the tournament. North America’s top-seed, TSM has been eliminated after a rough performance in the Group Stage. TSM will depart the second Dota 2 Major of the year with no prize money and DPC points.

TSM’s Dota 2 roster:

TSM bombed out of Berlin Major with no series wins

TSM began their journey in the Berlin Major in Group A, alongside many other prominent teams. Their first match was against ex-HellRaisers, now known as 9 Pandas, which ended with a rough 0-2 loss. They would then lose another series against BetBoom Team on the same day.

With the early struggle, fans could only hope for the NA representative to recuperate. However, they would barely secure draws and ultimately lost another three series against Team Liquid, Team Aster, and PSG.LGD. Ending their run with no wins, TSM dropped to rock bottom in Group A and their fates are sealed. They are officially eliminated from the ESL One Berlin Major.

Stand-in buff! Berlin Major Group Stage sees a good start for teams with stand-ins

Teams with stand-ins are doing surprisingly good during the Berlin Major Group Stage.

TSM still on track for TI12

TSM hasn’t seen the light of playoffs since ESL One Malaysia. In three consecutive international events - The International 11, Lima Major, and Berlin Major - TSM suffered elimination early and bombed out of the Group Stage. It’s apparent that the squad struggles on the bigger scale events.

Nonetheless, they have proven their prowess when it comes to regional battles. TSM is the back-to-back North American champions in 2023, defeating Shopify Rebellion twice in a row. Due to their victories in NA, TSM has collected a good amount of DPC points and this can easily earn them a direct invite to TI12.
