Professional Dota 2 player and FISSURE studio analyst Khaled "sQreen" El-Khabbash shared his opinion on BetBoom Team's departure from The International 11.
Recall that BetBoom Team left the tournament right after TSM FTX and Soniqs. The team couldn't beat BOOM Esports in group stage replays.

It makes sense BetBoom Team dropped out, as they weren't ready for a tournament of this caliber. Yes, the team won the qualification confidently, beating Virtus.pro. But going back to the CIS region, it is extremely unstable. Not a single team from Last Chance made it to the main part of the tournament, although there were high hopes for Virtus.pro. Anyway, BetBoom Team was unable to realize its full potential. This happened due to the fact that the team has inexperienced players, besides, there were problems with drafts. Also, BetBoom Team threw a lot of games where it led but failed to use its advantage. And to sum it all up, BB simply wasn't ready.
The main stage of The International 11 will take place from October 15 to 30. 20 teams will draw at least $13.5 million in prize money.
