PGL issued an update regarding the open qualifiers for the Regional Major Ranking tournaments.

Following their announcement on Wednesday and adjustment later on the same day, PGL released a new update regarding qualifiers for RMR events, the first step towards PGL Major Antwerp.

The Romanian tournament organizer decided to adjust the schedule of the North American qualifiers from March 3-4 and 5-6 to March 10-11 and 12-13, avoiding overlap with the $60,000 Fragadelphia 16 event and its last-chance qualifier, both set to take place on LAN.

Further adjustments to North American dates have been made

Additionally, previously unknown dates for the open qualifiers for the four regions that qualify for the Asia RMR tournament have also been announced. China, "Rest of Asia", and the Middle East will compete on February 19-20, while teams from Oceania will fight for their spot on March 5-6.

Qualifier 1 (NA) - 4 spots
March 10-11 (previously March 3-4)

Qualifier 2 (NA) - 3 spots
March 12-13 (previously March 5-6)

Yikes

LFO's going to have some tight timing to play in that then get to Pro League, that starts 3 days later. And you'd imagine they'd be one of the first to play their matches since they are group A. I feel like it would have worked better to have them at the same time as the rest of Asia, as the ESEA qualifiers start on the 21st February. That way it's just basically 4 straight days of playing then fly back for Pro League with a couple of weeks to prepare.
