IHC Esports qualified for IEM Brazil 2023

The IHC Esports team qualified for the upcoming IEM Brazil 2023. The Mongolian team became the winner of the closed qualifier for Asia, thanks to which they guaranteed their participation in the tournament in Brazil.

During the qualifiers, IHC Esports managed to lose to Eruption (0:2) and fall into the lower bracket of the qualifiers. However, this fact did not bother the Mongolian team at all, which turned out to be stronger than Team Renewal (2:0), Eruption (2:0) and Lynn Vision Gaming (2:0) to earn a ticket to IEM Brazil 2023.

IEM Brazil 2023 will take place April 17-23 in Brazil. Presumably, the venue for the competition will be Rio de Janeiro, where IEM Rio Major 2022 took place last year.
