With a total prizefund of 2,000 Euro, the ET: Quake Wars ESL Major Series will be one of the main events for all ET:QW teams and players this year. 24 of Europe's best teams will fight for the prizemoney in the coming weeks. Today we like to inform you about they way you can qualify for the upcoming tournament.

How to qualify for the EMS:

The winner of a running season is already qualified for the next EMS. Since this is the start of the EMS, there is no former champion. All 24 slots will be distributed to qualifier tournaments all over Europe. In order to participate for a certain country, the clan has to have at least 60% members with nationality of the country in which they want to qualify. 60% of their line-ups have to consist of members of this nationality during the qualifier just as in the EMS if the team qualifies.

Every national qualifier needs at least 4 teams, for countries with two slots the limit is set to 8. If a national qualifier does not have enough signups, the slot goes automatically to the international qualifier. For all teams which do not have enough clans in their country for an own qualifier or if a clan is too mixed up by different nationalities, there will be international qualifiers where all those teams can participate in.
