10-10-2016 19:00

PGL has announced that it will host the European Minor Championship in Romania next month.

Scheduled for November 4-6, the tournament will be held in Bucharest, more exactly at PGL's studios, the same venue as the Minor that was held at the start of the year.

Eight European teams will be in attendance to fight for two spots at the offline qualifier for the ELEAGUE Major in addition to a share of a $50,000 prize pool.

fnatic will compete at the upcoming Minor

Heroic and fnatic have received invites to compete in the tournament, with the other six spots being filled through an open qualifier, which will take place from October 18-21. Registration for this qualifier will soon be available on the competition's official website.

The list of participants for the event currently looks as follows:

fnatic

HEROIC

Below is the prize breakdown for the tournament:

1. $30,000
2. $15,000
3. $5,000

2016-10-10 20:47

Yes, but Immortals it's a new team with, they won a good championship some weeks ago but it's understandable that they need to qualify. And, I barely read this post, I didn't see that it was a qualifier, but, usualy fnatic was invited, now they need to qualify. I mean, there's no reason to be rude, you young guys are too nervous.

And? what has HR done on lan recently ? Fnatic is a good team and heroic has been to many lans and have had good performances. Also HR doesnt have oskar anymore. Also there will be online qualifiers.

They usually invite the winner/finalist of the last minor to the next one. Not saying Heroic doesn't deserve to be invited, but HR might feel like they deserve one.

Maybe,maybe not,but HR doesnt have oskar now,and thats a huge factor.

its should be more spots ofc, its cool if 8 teams come from online qual but should be 8 invite aswell. overall more teams to get a chance to get to a lan qual. anyways there whole major thing should be revamped. the whole system

2016-10-10 19:23

2 replies

there will be either 3 or 6 qualifiers involving 512 teams each,only 8 on lan final. They go to the major qualifiers,where 16 teams will be there. Its costly to have a 16 team event plus time consuming,also there are only 2 spots up for grabs,hence it doesnt make sense inviting 16 teams. Also the most deserving teams will make it through to the 8 available slots. NIP G2 Envy etc already have slots at the major qualifiers so they dont need to play anyways.EU minor is basically for lesser known teams.

if it just was for lesser teams :P

Tbh Fnatic got this, They're really strong atm. You're going to see them getting at least to 8 - 5th place at the major. But yeah, if I would hear that Fnatic will have to attend minor to qualify for the major, i would laugh really loud :D

So wait, if this is the case, does that mean other teams like G2, mouz, NIP, nV will have to QUALIFY for this MINOR? That's insane. The qualifier might be more interesting than the Major itself lol Also, what about NA teams with more than half EU players (Ex: Splyce, NRG), will they have to qualify using this regional minor or the NA one? I know Valve has weird standards about this stuff so I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case
