ESL One EU qualifiers announced

21-6-2014 12:55

European qualifiers for the next $250,000 major, ESL One in Cologne, have been revealed on the event's website.

Similarily to EMS One Katowice in March, the event will have four pre-qualifiers and the European Finals, from where six teams qualify for the ESL One Cologne, taking place on August 14th-17th.

Three qualifiers are limited to their respective regions, North, South-West and South-East, while the last one is open to all teams all across Europe. Each of these qualifiers will hand out four spots for the European Finals.

Who will we see in Cologne?

All qualifiers will be played in a best-of-one single elimination format, but depending on the number of teams, the last round might be played in a best-of-three. The final stage, European Finals, is set to be played in a best-of-three double elimination bracket.

The schedule is following:

North qualifier: June 30th-July 1st
South-West qualifier: July 2nd-3rd
South-East qualifier: July 14th-15th
Open qualifier: July 22nd-24th

European Finals: July 26th-27th

You can sign up for the qualifiers here until 18:00 on the first day of respective qualifiers, while 18:30 is the deadline to confirm participation.
