EU Minor qualifier team list set

Outlaws and iGame.com are the last two teams to secure spots in the closed qualifier for the European Minor.

Over 300 teams took part in the fourth open qualifier for the European Minor for the chance to get their hands on one of the final two spots in the closed stage.

After being defeated in the third open qualifier's Round of 128, iGame.com gave a much better account of themselves this time around, defeating the likes of ALTERNATE aTTaX and PRIDE Gaming en route to a top-two finish.

iGame.com will fight for a spot at the Minor

From the other half of the bracket came Outlaws. The Bulgarian team, who have also secured a spot in the closed qualifier for ESL One Cologne, had a great run of results, which culminated with best-of-three victories over Jerry "⁠xelos⁠" Råberg's AliGon and Mikal "⁠enix⁠" Aakvik Øiestad's En av de lette.

This means that all 16 teams for the European Minor closed qualifier have now been determined, and they are the following:

Germany BIG France Envy
Sweden Epsilon  Denmark HEROIC
Poland Kinguin  Europe LDLC
Sweden Ninjas in Pyjamas Turkey Space Soldiers
Denmark North Academy Europe PENTA
Sweden fnatic Academy Denmark Tricked
Norway Dignitas Sweden passions
Finland iGame.com Bulgaria Outlaws

The qualifier will run from May 18-19 and feature a Swiss format, with the top eight teams advancing to the Minor, scheduled for June 15-18.

BiG, NiP, EnvyUs, Heroic, SpaceS, Penta should be favorites if they get no fucked up bracket. The last 2 spots go to LDLC, Kinguin, Epsilon, Tricked or dignitas depending on daily shape.
