ESL One Frankfurt Chinese Open Qualifiers

The open qualifiers are drawing to an end, with only four teams remaining. As only three wildcard spots are open for entry into the main qualifiers, one team will be eliminated, thus “robbed” from the chance to compete for the region’s LAN spot.

ESL One Frankfurt Main Qualifier

Once the open qualifiers are completed, the three remaining teams will be matched up against the invited teams in the main qualifier.

Teams will face each other in a single elimination tournament format, fighting ESL One Frankfurt LAN spot. Things won’t be easy in the qualifiers, as IG will try to defend their title as Champions of ESL One Frankfurt 2014.
