The qualifiers for TI8 thus far have been riddled with their fair share of controversy. From the fiasco in South America, to bugs in China, North America was no exception, and patch issues caused some headaches for a few teams at the start of the Open Qualifiers. Despite it all, OpTic Gaming remained steadfast throughout, and landed their ticket to TI8.
Unfortunately, OpTic Gaming just missed the chance to grab a direct invite to the International 2018 after failing to secure a top four finish at the China Supermajor. Despite the stinging loss, the team was still invited to the main North American regional qualifiers, luckily forgoing the grind through the open qualifiers.
Current OpTic Gaming Roster:
- Sweden Pelle ‘Pajkatt’ Olsson Lille.
- United States Peter ‘PPD’ Dager.
- Sweden Ludwig ‘Zai’ Wahlberg.
- United States Quinn ‘CC&C’ Callahan.
- Israel Neta ’33’ Shapira.
