Who are the biggest candidates for the playoff?
Team Secret
Probably one of the most expected teams to advance to TI11, team Secret fell at the final hurdle as they were defeated in a 3-0 stomp against Entity during the WEU qualifier.
Many within the community still think that they will get one of the last slots, as their performances at ESL One Malaysia and Riyadh Masters are pretty decent.
Xtreme Gaming
The team got multiple back-to-back top three finishes in the first division of the DPC CN (China) 2021/2022, and only barely missed out on a direct invite to TI11.
