The final 4 names to attend Major Qualifier 2018 have been announced.

In the European region, Space Soldiers and EnVyUs excellently got the seed position to attend the Major Qualifier after a tough tournament with the participation of 8 “face-to-face” teams like GODSENT and OpTic Gaming. This is the second time in a row that OpTic and GODSENT have missed the Major, the last time they participated was the ELEAGUE Major: Atlanta last January.

Space Soldiers had easy wins in the bracket with a record of 2-1 defeating both Envy and OpTic in the semifinals and finals and it is obvious that they will be the No. 1 seed to the Major Qualifier after “sweeping clean Envy in the tournament final with 2 maps Cobblestone and Inferno.

Envy won the 2nd ticket in the losing bracket, they defeated AGO Gaming (AGO eliminated GODSENT in the group stage) and won OpTic for a chance to rematch with SS but they had to give up the top spot to SS. It’s quite unfortunate for Emperor Allu and his guards to lose the second ticket to EnVyUs.

Following that, Misfits and Team Liquid also confirmed their place in the Americas Minor.

These two North American teams will participate in the offline qualifying event for the Boston Major.

Misfits had a 2-1 record in the group stage and surprised Liquid and CLG. Their match against Liquid in the semifinals extended to the third map of Mirage, where Misfits won thanks to a stellar performance on the CT side. When facing CLG in the finals, they had 2 maps with spectacular comebacks at Cobblestone (5-10 then 16-13) and Mirage (4-12 then 16-14) and pushed CLG went down to the losing bracket and secured a ticket to the Major qualifiers.

Meanwhile, Liquid, after losing in the semifinals, quickly defeated compLexity Gaming and CLG and got themselves the final ticket in the Americas Minor. Then in the tournament final, they got their revenge on Misfits with a 2-1 victory. Liquid destroyed their opponents on Train 16-4 and Mirage 16-7, making them the No.1 seed and pushing Misfits down to 2nd place.

Misfits, Liquid, Space Soldiers, and EnVyUs have filled the last four spots on the list of teams that will participate in the upcoming Major Boston qualifiers.
