NAVI qualify for EWC and BLAST World Final

1-4-2024 11:25

NAVI have secured future tournament appearances after their win at PGL Major Copenhagen.

NAVI's run to win the Major was worth more than just the trophy

Natus Vincere have secured qualification for Esports World Cup 2024 and BLAST Premier World Final 2024 thanks to their victory at PGL Major Copenhagen. They join Spirit on the team lists for the two events, who earned their spots by winning IEM Katowice.

NAVI beat FaZe to win PGL Major Copenhagen

Esports World Cup is set to kick off July 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and will feature 15 teams competing across three stages, the Opening Stage, the Last Chance Stage, and the playoffs.

A single-elimination best-of-three bracket will play out over the Opening Stage, with winners heading to the playoffs while losers go to the Last Chance Stage. After a best-of-one single-elimination bracket decides who proceeds from the Last Chance Stage, best-of-three single-elimination returns for the playoffs.

The rest of the team list for EWC will be decided through ESL's world ranking and closed qualifiers across various regions.

Spirit receive wave of tournament invites after IEM Katowice trophy

BLAST World Final will take place November 13-17 in an as of yet undisclosed location, featuring eight teams fighting for their share of a $1,000,000 prize pool.

Teams will be split into two GSL-style best-of-three groups, with group winners going to the playoffs whilst second and third head to the quarter-finals. The playoffs will be a best-of-three single-elimination bracket.

Further invites for BLAST World Final will be handed out to the winners of BLAST Spring Final, BLAST Fall Final, and IEM Cologne, with three more slots being handed out based on BLAST's global leaderboard.

Since the organizer of this event acquired ESWC in October 2023, technically, it is ESWC, isn't it?

I thing if you are going to call yourself world cup, it should be national teams

Sorry your kind of logical thinking doesn't belong here on HLTV. I, of course, agree.

>there will be 2 majors? >why we have 2 majors >i thought it always was 2 per year legit meds, we had 2 majors every year except for covid era + 2021 because we went to lan late and in 2023 because of a new game not that fucking hard of a concept to grasp

thats why i asked it lmao cuz from 2021 i remembered only2 PGLS(Navi, Faze and Blast (Vita). Rio was so dull couldn’t remember it was 2022. And cuz of covid and cs2 release it wasnt twice a year since 2021 if it bothers you just dont answer “we had 2 majors every year except for…” and also except for 2013-15 where it was 1 to 3 majors a year so basically it was 2016,17,18,19,22 with 2 majors yeah “legit every year”

Some will qualify later or be chosen after next t1 competitions I think

Oh nvm

2024-04-01 11:46

14 teams in the opening matches, plus a regional hero qualifier that goes directly into the losers bracket to make up the 8th team needed for that. 7 teams that win the opening matches and the loser bracket winner go to quarter finals. twitter.com/ESWCgg/status/17715978290535.. I am assuming the regional hero will be a Middle Eastern team.

2024-04-01 11:48

thanks mate

14 out of 15 teams gonna fight for 7 spots in playoffs in a first round. 7 winners - to PO. The 7 losers of these matches will proceed to the last chance single elimination bracket where the remaining 15th team (Saudi hero, probably Falcons) join them to fight for the last 8th spot in playoffs.
