EMS X UK Qualifier

This season's qualifier for the UK will be open for up to 64 teams to compete over four stages to earn a place in the Champions League of Counter-Strike: Source

The structure will feature four 16 team pre-qualifiers. The top 2 from each of those qualifiers will then be placed into a final playoff bracket of 8 teams where top 3 finishing teams will take the prizes!

This structure should allow as many teams as possible to attempt to qualify for EMS.
