ESL Major Series - Qualifier Update

Two days after we announced the first national and international qualifiers, today we bring you another update on them. Three new national qualifiers have started and unfortunaly two are being cancelled. Furthermore we have an update on our international qualifier.

Yesterday Germany and Poland opened the signups for their national qualifiers. Both countries are one of the biggest countries so far and therefore it was not really a big suprise that we have already exceeded the minimum team limit of eight for each country. The next one is our Danish Qualifier. Since Denmark is one of the newest countries at ESL, we have decided to host the qualifier in our international section.

As ETQW is quite a new game, we knew that it would be hard to find enough teams for qualifiers in certain nations. Today we have to announce the first changes in our list of national qualifiers. In consultation with our national partners of Bulgaria and Portugal we unfortunately will be canceling both qualifiers. If you and your team comes from one of these countries, you can now join our international qualifiers for a chance to qualify. Due to these changes, Europe will now get 5 slots for the EMS. More changes may occur, but we will inform you about everything in time.

Another change affects our 1st EU Qualifier. Due to the unexpected small number of signups, we have changed the start of the first round to Wednesday and extended the signups to Tuesday.

At the end we like to present you a nice introduction into the ESL Major Series. Gameriot published a nice article about the EMS and the concept behind it.
