Flashpoint 1 Global Qualifier - Pinnacle Open

Brackets drawn for FLASHPOINT closed qualifiers

13-2-2020 04:09

The brackets for the three regional FLASHPOINT closed qualifiers have been determined.

The European bracket will feature 32 teams, while half that number will compete in the North American and South American tournaments. All three closed qualifiers will utilize double-elimination, best-of-three brackets, with the European qualifier taking place from February 14-17, and the two Americas qualifiers playing out with one less day as a result of fewer total teams, from February 14-16.

Spirit claimed the top seed in the European bracket

The top two teams from each region will advance to the Global Qualifier, which will be held at the FACEIT studio in Los Angeles, California from March 3-5. This offline stage will determine the final two teams who will enter FLASHPOINT in its inaugural season, where they will be joined by the league's ten franchise partners, six of which have already been revealed.

No, I just don't see many of these teams standing a chance to qualify let alone compete in the league. Also what does money have to do with this? Unless you're saying that BR teams will bring in viewers but they still have to qualify

A German espousing European superiority... quelle surprise.

2020-02-13 04:34

The SA teams are better tham the NA teams tho

2020-02-13 12:11

In the end there are only 2 spots for Flashpoint anyway. But I agree with you

I don't know myself, they didn't even mention anything on twitter. maybe there will be replacements?

2020-02-13 05:58

BIG invited probably

2020-02-13 08:27

sinners are a new czech proffesional organization

2020-02-13 12:02

I know that. I was more curious about them not being mentioned in the earlier announcement with the list of teams supposedly participating. Turns out they are a replacement for Project X, who are no longer playing the closed qualifier for whatever reason.

2020-02-13 13:24

I think Project X disbanded due to not qualifying for the CIS Minor Closed Qualifier.

2020-02-13 15:15

probably declined cuz they had cis minor qual #4 today

2020-02-14 19:50

Mb thanks for clarification. I thought the 4 qualifiers had finished.

2020-02-14 21:29

Who cars

2020-02-13 04:55

where is big

2020-02-13 05:28

Wtf

2020-02-13 05:56

They were probably invited but declined last minute.

2020-02-13 06:22

I think they maybe got a direct invite to the LAN qualifier but not sure

2020-02-14 01:09

EU match-ups lol rigged.

2020-02-13 06:05

Where is envy?

What a joke is this? MRS vs CREAM in the first match...

2020-02-13 07:00

Yes those bots should play against real teams instead of getting a free round.

2020-02-13 15:16

as vitality for example? 1 guy carries the whole team

Ofc Riders-Cream

2020-02-13 09:17

Fucking bad luck man...

2020-02-13 12:39

BIG and Sprout not in there anymore, ok?

2020-02-13 09:30

Sprout said very early they don't go in there. Also NA market is for sprout and big irrelevant. MdL is more their viewer base.

2020-02-13 10:20

yes yes seems fair, you have to decide between these two... still got robbed by esl

2020-02-13 10:21

Cream vs mr????? Fuck faceit fixers shit

2020-02-13 09:56

They won't qualify most likely either so it doesn't matter. I mean they need to become top 2 in the qualifier as well as at the lan qualifier. Big and Sprout met each other so many times in those situations as well, just unluko

2020-02-13 12:27

With the teams lv here sure they can lol

2020-02-13 12:51

I really like Movistar Riders and i hope they do, but i think its going to be difficult, especially as they seemed to struggle the past 2 or 3 days in their matches. They can but its gonna be hard. As for Cream, i can't they much, as i never watched a match nor do i know them

2020-02-13 14:14

Yes it isn't logical to match the two worst teams of the tourney together.

2020-02-13 20:35

heretics suck dick even in unity league

2020-02-13 20:38

2020-02-13 09:57

2020-02-14 06:24

Didn't know all of the qualifiers went into one Global qualifier. That's pretty cool actually. Though I reckon no NA team will be taking any of the qualifier spots
