On the second matchday of the Dota 2 World Championship "The International" in Singapore, Tundra Esports relegated its Western European colleagues from OG to the lower bracket with a clear 2:0. Evil Geniuses and Boom Esports were eliminated from the tournament.

"I think we have always been a very strong team, our biggest challenge is our own mentality," Tundra Esports captain Wu "Sneyking" Jingjun said after his win against OG. "We hired a psychologist and he helped us a lot to improve our mentality.»

After losing to Tundra, OG will have to prove himself in the lower bracket against Gaimin Gladiators on the third matchday. Two other Western European teams, Team Liquid and Entity, will also compete for the tournament after Liquid's loss to Team Aster.

Evil Geniuses and Boom Esports did not survive the second matchday. Especially for EG, the early elimination after an excellent group stage is disappointing. The North American team could not win a single match in the playoffs.
