From there on, Vega would face Team Tinker who had been eliminated in the the Main Qualifier #3 by 4clovers and Lepricon, in the second round.

After the May 23-24 superweekend, six teams will qualify for the LAN playoffs held between June 13-15, in Sweden and compete for the $100,000 prize pool. The six teams will split $30,000 support budget for travel and LAN expenses.
