The Pandas gave the main sensation at the start of this qualification so far, defeating Virtus.pro. But should we immediately place 9 Pandas in the status of the main tournament favourites? Debatable... Solo and Co. played a great first game, but the opponents ahead of them are no weaker, and the Pandas had problems even with the teams from the open qualifications, even though their roster is perfect by name.
9 Pandas is a cybersport organisation based in Serbia, which entered the Dota 2 competitive arena in April 2023. Over the past year, the team has undergone some changes to its roster and coaching staff. As of early 2024, the current roster includes such notable players as Gleb "kiyotaka" Zyryanov and Alexey "Solo" Berezin. In September 2023, their coach Alexander "Nofear" Churochkin resigned and since then the team has been working on strategising on their own, but after failing the entire competitive season, the Pandas decided to sign coach MeTTpuM less than a month ago.
It is noteworthy that despite the strong players in the roster, Pandas repeatedly fail to qualify for the open qualifications for various tier-1 tournaments, such as the qualification for the Riyadh Masters, 9 Pandas lost to NextUp and did not even reach the closed part of the selection for the Arabian tournament.
Yellow Submarine
The young Submarines pleasantly surprised for the second qualification in a row. Moreover, the roster players emphasise that they didn't use any of the new pieces they had developed, not without the help of Team Spirit, to win the opening game against L1GA TEAM. This creates a certain intrigue, now from this team we will expect some cool performance and exit at least in the top 3 quals.
The Yellow Submarine team is performing better and better every month, still the status of the team of Team Spirit system gives its results. At the Riyadh Masters qualification, Yellow Submarine suddenly made it into the top three, ahead of teams like 1win and L1ga Team. They failed to win a slot to the Arabian tournament, but the team's performance made them happy. Qualification for the int will be another serious test for the Yellow Submarine players, in which again the experts and bookmakers have little faith.
The Yellow Submarine team demonstrated their potential for the first time this season at the qualification for PGL Wallachia Season 1, making a sensation by defeating a strong opponent in the form of Virtus.pro with a score of 2:0 on cards. This success is significant for the team, as the Submarines are not usually considered favorites in the region. Notably, despite falling behind in gold, Yellow Submarine players managed to adapt their game and posted the best result in the team's history.
