The qualifier taking place in Europe was won by ATB who booked their ticket after defeating Preparation 16-10 on Mirage in the grand final, joining their Polish brethren AGG who secured a spot in the first open qualifier.

* Update:Following the end of the qualifier, ECS officials revealed that ATB will not be allowed to participate in the league due to fielding two currently Valve-banned players for match fixing - Michał "⁠michi⁠" Majkowski and Mateusz "⁠matty⁠" Kołodziejczyk.
