Participants

Starting on September 10, the tournament moves into a LAN stage held behind closed doors with the teams living in more of a US college set-up at a luxurious mansion in the center of Yerevan, Armenia. Though more of a campus than a traditional tournament set-up, the BetBoom Dacha tournament will gather the eight LAN participants in basically a big bootcamp before TI12. However, only five out of the eight teams slated for the LAN part are qualified as of now for TI12.
