Somnus`M Misses The International for the First Time in Ten Years

Lu "Somnus`M" Yao's team TURTLE failed to qualify for The International 2024 in Dota 2. Although they eliminated LGD Gaming from the Chinese qualifiers, they lost in the lower bracket final to G2.iG.

For the first time in ten years, Yao will miss TI. The last time Somnus’M did not qualify for the championship was in 2014 with LGD.CDEC. His best result in the series was a second-place finish at The International 2018.

Somnus’M had not played in the professional scene since The International 2023, where he secured fourth place with Azure Ray. Yao formed the team TURTLE specifically for the TI13 qualifiers. It is unknown whether the team will continue to play after this failure.

The Chinese qualifiers for The International 2024 took place online from June 9 to 13. The slots for the world championship were claimed by G2.iG and Team Zero. The current list of participants for the event can be found in the material below.
