Team SMG provides statement on failure to register for The International 11 qualifiers, Dota 2 future

Schedules and team lists for upcoming Dota Pro Circuit regional qualifiers went live earlier this week, and for fans who keep up with all the regions, there were likely a few key names missing from those lineups that previously announced plans to compete for one of the final spots at The International 2022. 

One such team was Team SMG, who signed both poloson and iceiceice to fill holes in its roster ahead of the competition. And now, the organization has confirmed that its Dota 2 roster has been disqualified from Southeast Asia’s TI11 qualifiers due to a “communication breakdown” that delayed roster confirmation on official channels.
