BOOM Esports had just a 1.4 percent chance of survival at TI11 before Evil Geniuses betrayed NA

With The International 2022’s group stage on its last leg, BOOM Esports began the final day on the brink of getting eliminated from the biggest event of the Dota 2 year. With a 3-13 overall record bogging them down, BOOM was set to face Evil Geniuses in a must-win series to just stay alive and force a tiebreaker. 

Evil Geniuses had already guaranteed its first-seed finish for Group A the prior day, meaning the series had no bearing on the North American team’s TI11 standing. And facing down such a dominant force, many thought BOOM would be on their way back to the airport by now. In one of the most shocking upsets of the entire group stage, though BOOM overcame EG and near-impossible odds to keep their tournament lives alive.
