The PGL Arlington Major2022  Is Vital For The International 2022 Qualification

The International 2022 is right around the corner, with the group stage matches scheduled for October 15-18. Four teams have already qualified via the Dota Pro Circuit, meaning eight spots are left to secure via this route. The PGL Arlington Major 2022 is the final ranking points awarding competition before The International 2022, giving it extra importance to teams hoping to book their place in Singapore without needing to go through the regional and last chance qualifiers.

 

Thunder Awaken, PSG.LGD, TSM, and OG have guaranteed their set on the plane to Singapore for The International 2022. That quartet of esports superstars has a top 12 spot in the Dota Pro Circuit standings regardless of what happens in the PGL Arlington Major from August 4. PSG.LGD will go into The International 2022 as one of the favorites with Bovada casino and online sportsbook customers courtesy of them finishing as runners-up at the 2021 edition in Bucharest, Romania, a finish good for $5,202,400.

 

Team Spirit Are Looking Over Their Shoulders

 

Team Spirit, reigning The International champions, need a good result at the PGL Arlington Major otherwise they may not qualify for The International 2022 as one of the top 12 ranked teams. The likes of Illya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk, Alexander “TORONTOTOKYO” Khertek, Magomed “Collapse” Khalilov, Miroslaw “Mira” Kolpakov, and Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov must be on the top of their game to avoid the dreaded lottery that is the regional qualifiers.

 

The International 2021 champions currently occupy 11th place in the Dota Pro Rankings with 990 points, so they are not in serious trouble by any stretch of the imagination, but Team Spirit will be looking over their shoulders in the early stages of the PGL Arlington Major. Finishing in the money in at least the 7th-8th spot, which comes with $12,500, would guarantee Team Spirit safe passage to Singapore.

 

You would expect beastcoast (1,295 DPC points) and Tundra Esports (1,212) to finish in the top 12 of the Dota Pro Circuit rankings as they currently find themselves fifth and sixth, respectively. Both those teams are heading to the PGL Arlington Major and will likely pick up some crucial rankings points along the way.

 

The Dota Pro Circuit Rankings Are Wide Open

 

There are teams all the way down to 22nd place in the Dota Pro Circuit rankings that could, if results go their way, leapfrog into the top 12 and lock in that all-important The International 2022 invite.

 

Talon Sports is languishing down in 22nd place with 300 rankings points but are not out of the running just yet because there are up to 820 points up for grabs at PGL Arlington. Sure, anything other than an outright victory probably would not be enough. Still, stranger things have happened in the world of esports, mainly because only five of the ten teams above Talon Sports, but outside the DPC top 12, have qualified for the PGL Arlington.

 

The biggest, or at least most well-known, team needing a result at the PGL Arlington is Team Liquid. They find themselves in 13th place on 890 points, only 50 points behind Team Aster. Finishing in the top six should be enough for a top 12 ranking spot if other results go their way. Team Liquid has struggled for form throughout the 2021-22 season, enjoying one victory, two second-places, and a third from five placements.

 

The team started well, but a 9-12th place finish in the Tier 1 ESL One Stockholm in May saw them miss out on some crucial DPC points and lose ground on the current top 12. Team Liquid fans need Lasse “MATUMAMAN” Urpalainen, Michael “miCKe” Vu, Ludwig “zai” Wahlberg, Samuel “Boxi” Svahn, and Aydin “iNSaNiA” Sarkohi to turn on the style in the United States otherwise we could see The International 2022 take place with the famous Team Liquid among the competitors.
