The final of the qualifier between the two Brazilan squads is set to take place later today at 4PM EDT. Since INTZ are participating in the IEM Katowice South America Closed Qualifier, they needn't worry about a schedule clash if they take the win. However, FURIA have qualified for the IEM Katowice North America Closed Qualifier, and would need to choose between the two if they happen to wind up the victors.
