The China Regional Qualifier for The International 2026 runs June 15-18 in a double-elimination bracket, awarding two slots alongside Xtreme Gaming’s direct invite. Vici Gaming, Yakutou Brothers, Team Resilience, Roar Gaming, and open-qualifier standouts such as Game Master and Team Refuser compete in best-of-three series, with recent results showing strong starts for Resilience and Yakutou Brothers alongside Vici’s mixed 3-1 record. Key drivers include current patch adaptation, hero-pool depth, and momentum from prior Chinese circuit events, while roster stability and head-to-head history in high-stakes BO3s shape trader views on which squads advance through the bracket to Shanghai. Late upsets remain possible given the online format and competitive field.
