TSM.FTX is the first team to be eliminated from The International 2022 after taking last place in their group.
Team Undying was picked up by TSM FTX in January. They then reached the grand finals at their first-ever Major together in Stockholm last May. The points that they earned at the event (610) and through the league play landed them in 2nd place in the overall DPC rankings for the start of Tour 3 and secured them a direct invite to The International.
But it seems that their early success wasn't an indicator of their run at TI11.
The team's initial energy and intensity seemed to be missing from their games, with lackluster plays and results.
The team landed in last place of Group B with a 5:13 series (0:5:4 game) record. They didn't win a single series and were able to clinch only five wins out of the 18 games played in total.
Two months ago we had the chance to catch up with both David "MoonMeander" Yang and Kim "DuBu" Doo-young at ESL One Malaysia 2022 and talk about the team’s plans pre and after TI11, in which they revealed that the team would stay together after The International no matter the results.
