Imagine if even Gambit qualifies for cologne right here, GG.bet would be left to just alternate attax and whoever qualifies out of the cis qualifier

Possible invite replacement teams might be difficult or just play this event and even if North or Gambit wins it give the spot to the 2nd Place team or play the LAN and play a decider between Attax and CIS Team on TOP for the Spot. Numerous options I guess....
