Nouns Punch Their Way To Top Eight At The International 12
Nouns, one of the heaviest underdogs, have secured a top-eight finish at this year’s TI. Today, all three North American teams had to eliminate each other, and only one could remain in the tournament.
After TSM defeated Shopify Rebellion, Nouns became their next opponent. Despite being third-place in the North American DPC for almost two years, Nouns got their sweet revenge by being the last North American team in the tournament.
The series between Nouns and TSM ended 2-0 but was one of the lengthiest matches in the tournament. Game 1 was dragged out to 57 minutes, while Game 2 went over 68 minutes after Nouns made a comeback against Timado’s Muerta.
Nouns make it to the next stage, where they will play the winner of the match, Gaimin Gladiators and 9 Pandas. However, their advancement comes at the cost of their North American brethren.
