Open qualifier #1 enters qualification matches

Teams fight for four spots at the closed qualifier.

We have 35 teams signed up to play in the single-elimination bracket that decides four teams in the closed qualifier. The games take place over two days, with every game being a best-of-one apart from the qualification matches in the quarterfinals, which are best-of-threes. You can see the bracket on the Gamers Club website.

Dust2.us is streaming these closed qualifiers, so hop in the stream and follow along with Ryan "RyanAtDust2" Friend and his friends.

Four teams advance

The final teams have formally qualified for the upcoming closed qualifier during the weekend as Strife, Mythic, Detonate, and timberman won their BO3 qualification matches in the last 18 hours.

  • United States Strife 2-1 4ORMULA

  • United States Limitless 1-2 Mythic

  • Detonate 2-0 United States skriptovie

  • timbermen 2-0 Cartel terraza

Qualification matches happen this morning

While Mythic and Limitless squared off last night, the rest have elected to participate the following day to begin their BO3 qualification matches. There is some controversy as Detonate players were vocal about playing their match last night, however skriptovie forced the game to play at 12:00PM.

skriptovie have been able to make it to this stage without playing a single match, which includes forcing a FF win against an opponent as they did not show up in the server within five minutes.
