The groups and format for TWC European Main Qualifiers have been revealed.

After two initial rounds which determined eight of the sixteen teams participating in the main qualifier stage, E-frag.net have released the groups and schedule for the last phase of the qualifying process.

Four groups of four teams will kick off the competition with a best-of-one GSL format where the decider matches will be played as best-of-threes. The teams that manage to finish their group in the first two places will advance to the single-elimination playoffs.

Sweden will be in Group D

Following the best-of-three quarter-finals, four countries will advance to the best-of-five semi-finals whose winners will qualify for the LAN Finals taking place from October 5-9. The losers of the semi-finals will play a best-of-five third-place decider match in order to determine the last team that will qualify for the finals in Belgrade, Serbia.

favelas? IDK why u say that... Actually Portugal is one of the most decent countries in Eu. You should be proud of it tbh... But just my opinion

2016-08-28 12:24

They are mentally favela. That's what I wanted to say :P

2016-08-28 13:33

Not really lol From what I see Portugal have the people with one of the best mentality... No fights no wars, they receive well tourist (ive been there before). You have no reason to say that they are "favela".... Envy is bad thing d00d

2016-08-28 13:52

all countries receive tourist well as long as you pay ^^

winner of the lit-denm match

2016-08-27 17:29

All denmark players are busy. They have lan tournament. (Power-Lan) They asked to organization "can we play our match later?"

2016-08-27 17:47

so, disqualify denmark if that's true... like wtf thats why csgo and the organizers will never become professional. and btw the matches should've been played before the draw so soemthing last week, and i bet they had time last week...
