I think we've fumbled after the first map at the qualifiers for BetBoom Dacha in the finals and couldn't play well. Besides, Nigma Galaxy played well and deservedly made it through. EPL was weird. We played it instead of Clan Wars [ed: practice matches] and tried a lot of different things since it was a new patch. But in the end we just played badly.
The Level UP's support also shared his expectations for the The International 12 qualifiers for Western Europe:

I think that all teams try to approach the qualifiers for The International 12 in their absolute best shape, and Level UP is no exception. I don't think the grid has a major influence, because you should be able to beat any opponents to qualify for TI12 anyway.
Level UP will play at the qualifiers for The International 2023 for Western Europe. The first opponent of Level UP will be Luna Galaxy. The qualification will take place on August 27-31, 2023. 11 teams will compete for 2 slots at TI.
