1Win Team Dota 2 Manager Explains Elimination from DreamLeague Season 28 Qualifiers
1Win Team Dota 2 manager Ivan "4SV" Karpov, in a conversation with a portal, answered the question about the reasons for the defeat in the decisive stage directly:
"The opponents turned out to be stronger, we continue working on ourselves."
Chronicle of the Fall
1Win Team's path in the qualifiers was rocky:
- Victories: The team managed to defeat AVULUS and Power Rangers.
- Defeats: The squad lost to the regional favorites BetBoom Team, and in the decisive lower bracket match on January 10th, lost to Aurora Gaming with a score of 0:2.
Thus, 1Win Team will miss the major online tournament DreamLeague Season 28, which will take place from February 16th to March 1st, 2026. The event will have $1 million and important EPT points at stake.
Also, a South American grand sensationally remained out of the major tournament. HEROIC failed the regional qualifier and will miss the upcoming DreamLeague Season 28.
