Today was the final day of the DOTA 2 The International 8 (TI8) group stage, with 18 teams competing for the title and a total of $ 24,000,000

The PaiN Gaming team ended their career at The International 8 after a disappointing performance on the final day of the group stage, while the rest were ranked in lower brackets and upper brackets for the main event.

The last day of the group stage in the TI8 tournament offered more excitement and excitement than anything else to the fans. With the advantage of exclusion on this day, each team was fighting to survive in the most competitive group of the two groups. There was not only one straight line, a strong indicator of lack of despair and the versatility of the difference in the last chance before the playoffs began.

The bright star at the end of the day was the OpTic Gaming team, which started at the bottom of the group after the third day and ended all the way to the top edge after a miracle. They defeated paiN Gaming in a clean series with a 2-0 result in their first game of the day. Unfortunately, the Brazilian team was at the lowest point in the group stage and went to lose another series against Team Serenity. In the end, no other team managed to reduce the gap in the playoff game, and unfortunately the paiN Gaming team had to get out early.

Team Liquid, last year’s winner of The International 7, did not disappoint. Where he came in front of Group A to perform a strong performance may secure him a seat ahead of this year’s championship.
