IHC qualify for IEM Brazil

27-1-2023 19:53

The Mongolian team completed their lower-bracket run to qualify for the $250,000 event.

IHC secured an IEM Brazil spot after coming through the Asian Closed Qualifier. The Mongolians lost their first match against Eruption but quickly turned their campaign around by winning against Renewal, Eruption, and Lynn Vision without dropping a single map. IHC, who are currently ranked No. 30 in the world, are now set to attend IEM Brazil as the only Asian representatives.

The Brazilian event will run from April 17-23 and feature a $250,000 prize pool at a yet undisclosed location in the South American country. There are still four spots up for grabs, with the European and North American Closed Qualifiers providing two each.

Annihilation put up an event-high 1.31 rating in the Closed Qualifier

IHC's qualification further adds to the recent success of the Mongolian team, who attended both the Antwerp and Rio Majors last year and recently qualified for the ESL Pro League Season 17 and IEM Katowice Play-In. Their recent results have cemented them as the number-one team in Asia, with their closest challengers Rare Atom sitting 28 places behind them in the HLTV.org World Rankings.

The IEM Brazil team list currently looks as follows:

EU Closed Qualifier spot

NA Closed Qualifier spot

EU Closed Qualifier spot

SA Closed Qualifier spot

Onliners for sure, they did come to EU when they took a map off g2 I remember though but think that was online too lol

2023-01-27 20:08

>Doesn't attend many LANs due to not qualifying for them >"gotta be cheaters bro 100%" What betting does to a mf

2023-01-27 20:48

I don't bet its just weird af They beat IHC 3 times before and now they suddenly play like bots when game actually matters Also i didn't say they are cheaters 100%, stop twisting my words

totally couldn't be randomness, or anti-stratting. hltv.org/matches/2361424/lynn-vision-vs-.. Look at the head to head, its even Also if all online teams are cheaters than are you a cheater? I bet you have never played in a LAN you cheater

2023-01-27 20:59

Why so mad are you LV player or something? Just stated facts

2023-01-27 21:01

they always play like bots ihc ranked #30 lv ranked #67

2023-01-28 03:47

Ihc was saving strats for more important matches, what kind of idiot would use all their tricks to beat onlynn team on unimportant match just to satisfy dumb bettors like you?

They qualified for ESL conference which was on LAN before the changes

2023-01-27 23:35

should be 1 NA spot and 1 SA spot right?

2023-01-27 20:04

2023-01-27 20:26

Why there's two NA closed qualifiers? One of them is the SA closed qualifier

2023-01-27 20:47

Hope big org don’t gonna buy one of this players or they gonna break their dynamic.

Nice happy for the Boys IHC Goat Asian Team.

2023-01-27 21:08

GG well deserved Its also very interesting that in closed qualifier there were 3x mongolian teams out of 4 teams. They must be feeling hype from the major appereances to make the scene grow.

2023-01-27 21:25

Actually scene here were big even before major appearence. Mongolia is budget Denmark of Asia.

2023-01-27 21:31

I hope only good things for you, nice to see new teams and regions making it work.

Cool

2023-01-27 21:33

Gl to mongolian guys, deserved I suppose. The only thing I didn't get, what's the change? In HLTV profile of the team there's kabal, but they played with another player this tournament.

2023-01-27 21:57

kabal has a kid and is taking a break for next months

2023-01-27 23:36

Got it, thanks for the info <3

vielen Dank. Glad for his family. Btw I have an interesting historical question: was Cyrillic symbols in your language before you invaded slavs or it started to appear after russia influenced your country? Just curious how it was in terms of language development

2023-01-28 15:13

We are using Cyrillic character from 1940, based on Old Mongolian Language. We tried to use latin alphabet in 1931, but not widely used. I think Stalin affected to my country. But its hard to understand from another Cyrillic character user country.
