On the first day it was not quite clear what to expect from Tundra Esports. The team failed the last two tournaments, so it was not easy to believe in a good game from them. Still, the team should be praised, taking one map in each of the two games. Of course, not perfect, but not completely bad either.
It is worth noting the individual play of Oliver "skiter" Lepko, who played well on the maps won. And for the other players, it's not too bad either. So far, the game of Tundra Esports looks like that on the first map they don't yet understand which heroes to take and lose because of that, but on the second map they have a perfect draft.
In recent tournaments Tundra Esports really showed their weak side. But there is no point in focusing on that. After all, the game at The International is quite different from the other championships. And it makes no sense to give up on Tundra Esports, judging by the matches on the first day, they can show something.
Team Secret: not a perfect start
Team Secret played against the top Peruvian teams on the first day. Not the easiest opponent to start, but still the Europeans should be stronger in their level of play and preparation than both teams.
The first series was against Thunder Awaken. The first map ended with a resounding victory for Team Secret, and the second was just as easily won by their opponent. In the second series, Team Secret easily defeated BeastCoast on two maps.
To qualify for TI 11, Team Secret had to pass the Last Chance Qualifier. Few people believed in this team, because the list of opponents was intimidating, but in the end the experience decided everything, and Team Secret was the first to enter The International. Obviously, this experience should only benefit, because the new patch came out relatively recently, but it will also help Tundra Esports prepare for the upcoming meeting.
