Second IEM Fall EU Open qualifier set to start

MAD Lions and Fiend became the first two teams who secured spots in the IEM Fall Europe closed qualifier on Sunday, coming out on top of the first of four open qualifiers ahead of the final RMR tournament leading up to PGL Major Stockholm.

Three more open qualifiers are still to be played to determine six more teams joining eight invited lineups in the closed qualifier, with the second set to kick off at 18:00 .

Furlan's AGO are the highest-ranked team signed up

The event will only be covered in HLTV matches from the top-16 stage onwards, but in this article we will post updates about the several rounds before that, making sure you stay up-to-date with who is still in the running and who isn't, what notable matches are coming up and where you can watch them (if available).

Keep in mind that if you don't see your favorite team attending the tournament, it's possible that they have already been invited to either the main event or the closed qualifier, especially if they already have points in the RMR standings from previous tournaments in the series. Those invites have not been revealed yet but have likely already been determined.

Below are some of the most notable teams who have signed up for the second open qualifier (but are yet to check-in and confirm their attendance).

If you're asking about IEM Fall, I think they're counting on getting an invite to the closed qualifiers, but I don't know if they will because they're 5th in line to get an invite, and only 4 teams get invited, but Hyenas might not attend and free up the 5th slot

Wont south take that spot tho?

2021-09-02 18:36

Unless they use the sub loophole Hyenas used last time, probably not, since only aizy and fessor are in South from Hyenas

2021-09-02 19:10

Hyenas hasn't been a thing for 2 months or something, lmao.

2021-09-02 19:08

I know, but wouldn't you assemble your squad back together if you had an invite to a big event?

2021-09-02 19:12

3 replies

1 is retired, 2 are already signed by other orgs (Borup and Gade). It's not happening

2021-09-02 19:30

they can either do the loophole they used last time, and just use the current South roster, or kjaerbye could come back for one event instead of one of the south members, but I agree, the most probable thing is them just pulling out

2021-09-02 20:29

oh, south is playing the open qualifier, so this basically confirms them pulling out

2021-09-02 20:32

what happened to turkish super team?

11 replies

they are in the closed qualifier

2021-09-02 17:19

They are high up in the ESL rankings so they'll get invited to the closed qualifier (alongside Dignitas, ENCE, Skade and Sinners)

2021-09-02 17:24

How are they high in the ESL ranking if its a new team?

2021-09-02 17:26

ESL rankings use points gathered by individual players for some reason, so basically EF's points = Xantares points

2021-09-02 17:30

2021-09-02 17:31

Xantares got points from BIG, this ranking is shit but it works like that :/

Isn't it big, ef, ence, dig, and possibly skade, if hyenas don't field a roster?

2021-09-02 18:03

BIG are already in the main event because of RMR points

2021-09-02 18:05

On nvm, I didn't see them

maybe still practicing since they didnt have time to do that

2021-09-02 18:02

No bro they invited closed

Why GTZ Bulls and Velox are not listed if they are way better than OFFSET?

2021-09-02 18:15

Would it be possible in the future to order the notable teams listed at the bottom either alphabetically or by country? Seems random?

2021-09-02 18:23

Reading the teams from left to right, they are sorted by ranking

2021-09-02 18:32

Ah, the seeding doesnt match the ranking then since South is 10th seed on the bracket? Im all types of confused on it lol. But thanks i was reading the columns 1 after the other.
