In both Europe and North America, our first and second seeds for Worlds were chosen. In Europe, Fnatic is our #1 seed (Summer Split Champions), and H2K is our #2 seed (based on points). In North America, Counter Logic Gaming is our #1 seed (Summer Split Champions), and Team SoloMid is our #2 seed (based on points).
The third slot for both NA and EU is chosen by another tournament, called the "Regional Qualifier". It is a Best of 5 single elimination series between the four teams that have accumulated the most points in both Spring and Summer Splits (who also weren't sent to relegation, or didn't place 8th, 9th, or 10th in their regions). Here is the format:
In Europe, the ladder looks like this:
ROCCAT vs Giants
----> Winner vs. Origen
--------------> Winner vs. Unicorns of Love
In North America, the ladder looks like this:
Cloud 9 vs Gravity
----> Winner vs. Team Impulse
--------------> Winner vs. Team Liquid
Round 1 of both regions takes place on Saturday, August 29th. Round 2 will be on August 30th. The final round will take place on Monday, August 31st. As we get closer to the qualifiers, we'll analyze the teams and make some predictions for the 3rd seed slot in NA and EU.
