In the previous matches, Talon defeated Aurora in the winners' bracket finals, securing the first qualification spot for TI13 main event

In the first game, Talon's Death Prophet was unstoppable, while Aurora's Zeus couldn't handle the situation. Aurora was completely outmatched in the mid-game against Talon's three cores, and 23's Templar Assassin couldn't hold on in face-to-face confrontations. After being team-wiped and having all their lanes destroyed, Aurora called gg.

In the second game, 23 made multiple mistakes with his signature Morphling pick, while Talon's Razor dominated the entire map, leading to an easy victory for Talon.

On the other hand, Bleed Esports, with Emo joining their ranks, was swept by TNC after losing to Aurora in the lower bracket, announcing their elimination from TI13

In the first game, Bleed's Phantom Lancer lineup repeatedly failed to achieve anything, with their team fight output also lacking. TNC seized the opportunity and wiped them out in one wave.

In the second game, despite Emo's quad kill giving Bleed some hope, they still couldn't achieve the desired level of control. Their mid-game core, Anti-Mage, was left behind in terms of item progression. And although they had a chance, their subsequent team fight losses resulted in their defeat.

Today, the TI13 Southeast Asia preliminaries will witness the semifinals and finals of the lower bracket, where Execration will face TNC. The winner of the two teams will advance to the lower bracket finals to compete against Aurora for the final spot in the Southeast Asia qualifiers for TI13.
