MSI BEAT IT EU qual #2 announced

The second European online qualifier for MSI BEAT IT 2011 has been announced to take place October 22-23.

The first European qualifier took place during SEC 2011, seeing fnatic qualify as the third team for MSI BEAT IT 2011.

The time has now come for the second European qualifier, as it has been announced to take place Saturday and Sunday this weekend. The qualifier will feature a maximum of 32 teams from Europe and the teams will battle for one spot, which leads to MSI BEAT IT 2011 at DreamHack Winter in November.

Signups for the tournament are open from now until Friday, October 21 at 15:00 . In order to signup, teams should go here.

The qualifier will be played in a single-elimination bracket and will begin Saturday, October 22 at 18:00 , where the first three rounds of the qualifier will be played. The first three rounds will be played best-of-one map, while the remainder of the qualifier, played October 23, will be played best-of-three maps.

The winning team of the qualifier will gain access to MSI BEAT IT 2011 and win $1,000 for their efforts. We will most likely not see any big names attending this qualifier, as it collides with ESWC 2011.
