The qualifiers will be held on the next couple of Sundays and Thursdays, 7/3, 11/3, 14/3 and 18/3 at 17:30CET. 16 players will qualify directly into the playoffs at TG10 where they will battle for €2,700.

Here how the qualification works:

The Timeattack

All of the qualifiers will start with a timeattack session of 5x3minutes where the best 16 players go on to the group phase. All 5 maps will be played, after that the 16 best players gain a slot at the Single Elimination 1v1v1v1 main round!

The main round

After those intense minutes of timeattack the 16 best players are playing a 16 slot single elimination bracket in 1v1v1v1 to define the best 4 players. Those four will be qualified for The Gathering offline tournament.
