Team 9z qualified for ESL Challenger at DreamHack Anaheim 2022. Following the closed qualifier in South America, the team took the only ticket from their region. In the final of the closed qualifier, 9z outplayed Isurus with a score of 2: 0.

9z began her journey through the closed qualifier with a convincing victory over Los Grandes (2: 0). And if the first card went through one wicket, then the second card made the favorite get nervous. In the final of the upper bracket, the team easily dealt with Isurus, not allowing the opponent to break through the total on both maps.

In the final of the closed qualifier, 9z was to face Isurus again, who overcame Los Grandes (2: 0) in the lower bracket and got the opportunity to take revenge. Surprisingly, the final was held in a bitter struggle, since none of the teams could boast of an overwhelming advantage. However, in the endings of two maps, 9z managed to snatch victory and get a ticket to ESL Challenger at DreamHack Anaheim 2022.
