British Qualifier

The UK qualifier is also about to have its first qualifier: The winner bracket final will be Veritas facing Rasta. A team we had much faith in as soon as Terminals comeback to the map pool was announced is g5. They were unable to reach the high reputation we attributed to them. They lost a controversional match in the lower bracket and have missed their chance to qualify for the next stage.

gZilla on the other hand still has a chance in tonight's Lower Bracket match versus Decerto. The team including Phoenix project leader MerlinatoR, LevelUP's TF2 legend nVc and crumbs has to win all of their 5 remaining matches to get the second slot distributed to the UK. Decerto is the second team full with names from the ET community including the crossfire award winning R0SS and the one and only potty. Only one of these will be able to pass through the lower bracket.

  Veritas vs. Rasta.

German Qualifier

The German qualifier had the most sign ups overall. With 44 teams participating, the qualifier offers 4 slots. A decision is still pending in tonight's matches so no ticket is safe yet. The release cup winner Hardware4u will face Team-siLence in the first major game. In the other half of the bracket ESL admin rYn with his Team unit is about to face Insert Coin. Team unit was seeded on the second place and did receive the most critiques for their spot with only one ladder win as the lower half of the bracket was definitely and easy way through for them. Tonight's match might be their ticket for to the group stage if nothing goes wrong.

Including dutch TF2 star ViQun and former CoD player kNALLER the team of Power Gaming was sent to the lower bracket in the first round as ViQun as their latest addition was three minutes too late in the ESL team. Still they did come second in the German release cup and will now face Team Reunion to get another chance against Enro Griffins if both win. S.M.A.R.T. will be the opponent of those. causeWeCan including many former ETQW names like j4b and pSy will face n!faculty in tonight's lower bracket show down.

Remaining Qualifiers

Three left: Russia, Frans and Poland are still very far behind in schedule. The Russian qualifier will have Casus Belli face Yes! in the upper bracket final. The winner of the match will be in best shape to grab the slot for the next stage and the lower bracket is far behind with many empty slots.
The French and the Polish qualifiers both just reached round 2 of the upper bracket. On a side note the next round of the Polish qualifier will be played tomorrow (Friday!) at 21.00 CEST with three 1stcav divisions trying their best to get through.
