9-1-2016 00:52

The third online qualifier for PGL's European Minor Championship has come to an end, with Blojexpressen and AliGon advancing to the $50,000 tournament.

With four teams already through to the European Minor Championship following the end of the first two qualifiers, two more spots were awarded today in the third qualifier, which had in Blojexpressen, RCTIC, ALTERNATE aTTaX and AliGon its last surviving teams.

Blojexpressen, a Swedish mix team featuring renowned players like Erik "⁠zende⁠" Sundeqvist and Benjamin "⁠BENDJI⁠" Söderena beat RCTIC without breaking much of a sweat as they ran out 2-0 victors following 16-11 and 16-5 wins on de_cache and de_train, respectively.

The CS:GO Regional Minor Championships is a new initiative from Valve to further nurture the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive eSports scene. It will give the opportunity to teams that aren't yet good enough to play in the Majors, to play on a professional stage with full, high quality production. This will hopefully give teams the necessary experience to make the next step into the Major competition. Each Minor will feature a $50,000 prize pool and the winner of each regional Minor will be invited to participate in the offline qualifier for the Major at MLG Columbus. As of right now, there are four minors planned: CIS, Europe, Americas and Asia. Teams that have participated as Challengers or Legends in previous Majors are not eligible to participate in the Minors

and the 'official' aka Valve blog says: "Teams are eligible to participate provided the majority of their players are citizens of a country in their respective region, and none of their players were Legends or Challengers in the previous CS:GO Major Championship." players and previous CS:GO Major. blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2015/1..

Actually just realised, Hellraisers are playing in the qualifier for the minor and renegades are playing in the asian one so it's only for the previous major.
