MLG revealed the groups and the schedule for the MLG Regional Minor Championship Americas that will take place in Columbus, Ohio.

Six teams from North America and two from Brazil will battle it out at the MLG Arena from May 19-22 for a prize pool of $50,000 and two spots at the ESL One Cologne Main Qualifier.

The squads are divided into two groups where a GSL format will be in effect as the opening, the winners' and the elimination matches will be best-of-ones while the deciders will be played as best-of-threes.

boltz & co. will be in Columbus

The team participating via the South American qualifier will not be BigGods as they had visa issues and the newly formed WinOut team will be replacing them in Group B, where they'll go up against teams such as OpTic and Selfless. Below is the full groups:

Group A	Group B
Tempo Storm	OpTic
NRG	Selfless
Without a Roof	Winterfox
TSM	WinOut

you are the biggest BR hater in this website. You dedicate so many time in hating BR that I believe your life is pretty miserable.

Is that like the comeback or something? Either way, it's really ironic coming from a favela. the only reason you guys get your hate (everyone hates you, it's not rare) is cuz you guys are retards and fucked up. if you werent, no one would hate you guys. nt ironic favela

Not ironic my friend. When I see someine spending so much time in hating others, I imagine that his/her life is miserable as fuck. I mean, you must be a lonely guy who has got nothing better to do beside distillate all this hate for free. Btw, I dont give a fuck about the hating. But I feel really sorry for your misery.

You clearly don't. So by your logic, it's ok to be a retard, but not ok to hate the retards? Explains you guys.

where did I say it was OK to be a retard? I was just talking about you, that devotes so much time to hate. It seems like you got nothing better to do.

You said I was 'miserable' because I'm hating on LG. For 1, I'm not hating on LG, I'm hating on the fans. I think LG is pretty cool The fans = retards. You are a favela so I wouldn't be surprised if you didnt agree

I don't hate BR, the country. I have a few irl friends from there. I hate the retarded LG/TS fans. There's a diff

2016-05-13 19:41

Ok, nice chatting here, see ya.

2016-05-13 19:42

By the way i saw the guys from LG talking about him... I really believe they hate s1mple mostly cuz he felt confortable being arrogant and stupid to other people just cuz he dropped ~everything~ to be there. But LG dropped country,family and girlfriends too, and they always were much more respectful than him. Not cuz he is a ~potential~ top player.

2016-05-13 02:58

He was kinda stupid. The difference is LG had a choice, he really didn't. It's no excuse for his retardedness, but he cant rlly be compared to lg in that case

2016-05-13 03:30

Brazillian finals inc again

2016-05-12 21:49

2016-05-12 22:03

FUCK THIS , AGAIN I AM NOT FIRST

asd

vs. Without a Roof somebody give dem a roof :d

companies are willing to hire brazilian teams more than USA teams now because salary is lower and rate of success = higher

2016-05-12 21:48

They dont know what counter strike is without slemmy aka someone telling them exactly what to do.

2016-05-12 21:50

ay lmao gg

2016-05-13 00:21

EZ FOR ENCE

2016-05-12 21:46

Ez for optic

Inb4 grand finals OpTic vs TS, match will be 50/50 boyz

Where is splyce? not invited?

Splyce go directly to the Offline Qualifier because they were at Columbus

2016-05-12 22:09

Most of these are joke teams, the only team that deserves to be in the qualifier, then in the major, is tempo storm. Dignitas, GODSENT or Hellraisers wont qualify because only 2 go forward, but some optic or tsm will qualify. tldr: 3 spot for eu, 1 spot for NA pls

2016-05-12 21:45

CIS minor is problem, it should be EU/CIS for 4 spots, now 2 teams will get rekt like YP last time

2016-05-12 21:53

+1 totally forgot about cis and i agree

2016-05-12 22:26

Why does Winout replace Bigods instead of INTZ? didn't key went out in quarter finals? Is winout replacing keyd or g3x spot?

2016-05-12 21:47

11 replies

only keyd/g3x has visas

Oh dude, why do they play the tournament without visas wtf. They should start doing their visas at least 6 months before the qualis...

2016-05-12 21:51

qualis were announced 1 week before the event

+1 really stupid that intz didnt replace them, but I think that is because cogu and co have visa issues as well

2016-05-12 21:52

why should a much worse team replace them when keyd top3 SA? idiot

2016-05-12 22:19

maybe because INTZ reached the finals and Keyd the semis?

2016-05-12 22:58

INTZ went farther in the qualifiers while keyd lost in the semis, it's only fair. Are you okay bud/ you seem a bit upset

intz gave the slot to winout, since they have almost no visas.

2016-05-13 05:01

twitter.com/intzesports/status/730832004.. "In a common agreement, we gave the slot to @teamkstars (winout). We believe they are more prepared to represent our country."

2016-05-13 05:04

That's shady. I smell money.

2016-05-13 16:42

intz didn't have visas ready.

2016-05-14 02:31

RIP TSM Edit: Ez for TSM

Should be easy for Optic and Tempo but we'll see.

HAHAHAH i knew they would have visa issues

I hope without a roof wins =)

so sick of seeing brazilian teams they should have their own minor in SA

2016-05-12 22:04

Agree,, that will improve sa scene as well.

2016-05-12 22:05

oh m8 they cant do shit they are too god for SA

2016-05-13 12:17

rip winout hahaha

Brehze on lan? i think yes

2016-05-12 22:10

LMAO if you click on winout it says they only have danish players

2016-05-12 22:25

ez for temp

2016-05-12 22:33

C9 not here or at major?

2016-05-12 23:04

They are already at main qualifer (they got invited) every teams who plays at majors gets direct invites to the main qualifer

2016-05-12 23:48

2016-05-13 00:58

Another brazilian final.

2016-05-12 23:05

I think it will be TS vs OpTic.. If OpTic can beat Astralis and have 2 close games against LG they can hopefully beat WinOut, Selfless and NRG :P

2016-05-13 01:54

itll be ta and optic to the qualifier

2016-05-12 23:12

My prediction Group A: TS vs TSM = TS NRG vs WAR = NRG TS vs NRG = TS TSM vs WAR = TSM TSM vs NRG = NRG Group B: OpTic vs WinOut = Optic WFX vs Selfless = Selfless OpTic vs Selfless = OpTic (selfless bad on LAN) Winout vs WFX = WFX WFX vs Selfless = Selfless Semis TS vs Selfless = TS OpTic vs NRG = OpTic Final: TS vs OpTic = 2:1 OpTic

2016-05-13 01:59

LETS GO KKona

2016-05-13 03:39

so ez for TS and Optic

2016-05-13 04:02

TS and Optic to qualify

2016-05-13 05:09

ez for TS

2016-05-13 05:19

So, Tempo confirmed qualify... you would think... Maybe Optic, or Selfless if they show up to game..

2016-05-13 09:49

Where are renegades

2016-05-13 11:07

Renegades qualified already through the Asia minor because they are from aussie but just play under a US name they are going to be at the major qualifiers and hopefully qualify
