StarLadder has unveiled the dates and the registration links for the open qualifiers for its upcoming Counter-Strike Major.

The qualifying process for the second Major of 2019 will kick off in just under a month on the FACEIT platform in four regions: Europe, CIS, the Americas and Asia.

The Americas region has been divided into two sub-regions, North and South America, while Asia sees the addition of a sixth sub-region, Central & South Africa.
