Players eligible to be the first, repeat Ti winners!

From Ti1: The original squad was Artstyle, Dendi, XBOCT, Puppey, and LighTofHeaven playing for Na'Vi. Of them, only Puppey has qualified as a player for Team Secret, while Artstyle is currently the coach of Virtus.Pro(VP).

From Ti2: The winning IG team in 2012 was Zhou, Ferrari_430, YYF, ChuaN, and Faith. The only player to qualify for Ti7 is Faith who now plays for Newbee.

From Ti3: Alliance won in 2013 with Loda, S4, Admiral Bulldog, EGM and Akke. The only qualifying player from this team is s4, who now plays for OG.

From Ti4: Ti4's Newbee won with Hao, Mu, Xiao8, Banana, SanSheng, and coach Mikasa. Of these, Banana is the only one to return to Ti playing with LGD.Forever Young(LFY).

From Ti5: EG won in 2015 with Fear, SumaiL, UNiVeRsE, Aui_2000, PPD, and coach Bulba. Sumail and Universe are still on EG from Ti7, Aui_2000 plays for Cloud9(Formerly Team NP), and Bulba plays for Digital Chaos(DC). I do not know if coaches are on the Aegis or not, but they are listed as part of the team so for that reason I'm including them.

From Ti6: shadow, bLink, Faith_bian, y', and iceice won in 2016. Unfortunately, none last year's champions will not be attending Ti7 as active players, making this the first ever International without it's defending champions. With Planet ODD failing to qualify(2016's DC), this is the second time Ti has not seen it's Runner Up after CDEC's(Agressif, Shiki, Xz, Garder, and Q) second place finish in 2015 and failure to qualify for Ti6.

TL;DR:

Ti1: Puppey with Team Secret and Artsyle with VP(Coach)

Ti2: Faith with Newbee

Ti3: s4 with OG

Ti4: Banana with LFY

Ti5: SumaiL, Universe, and Fear(Coach) with EG, Aui_2000 with C9, and Bulba(who was Coach) with DC.

Ti6: BibleThump
