BLEED was one of the notable sides who ultimately missed out on a closed qualifier berth.

The ESL Challenger Atlanta Europe open qualifier has concluded, seeing GamerLegion, B8, Monte, and GUN5 secure a place in the closed qualifier for the American event.
Those four squads will join the teams already invited to the closed qualifier — Ninjas in Pyjamas, SAW, Aurora, and Sashi — in a double-elimination bracket from August 29-31 for a single spot at ESL Challenger Atlanta.

One noteworthy side that failed to make it past the single-elimination open qualifier was Aleksandar "kassad" Trifunović's BLEED, who currently sit just outside the top 30 in the world rankings. The international squad fell short in their penultimate match of the bracket versus SINNERS, while the Czech side subsequently faltered to GamerLegion.
The ESL Challenger Atlanta 2024 main event is set to run from October 4-6, with BIG, BetBoom, M80, FlyQuest, and ODDIK each having secured their place at the Georgia LAN already. The final three spots up for grabs will go to the winners of the Europe, North America, and Oceania closed qualifiers.
