Teams are able to register and participate in both sets of events. Solo players are also able to sign up and they will be placed in a team with four other solo sign ups.
To take part in the open qualifiers every player needs to register an account on FaceIT or to be part of a team and register the team to the tournament.
The open qualifiers tournament features a checking-in system as well which means that the heck-in phase will begin 2 hours before the tournament starts and during this phase captains of each team must press the “Check-in” button on the tournament page in order to confirm that their team is ready to play the tournament.
Please remember that ALL teams must check-in in order to play in the tournament. This includes teams which reserved slots to the tournament before the check-in phase started. Any teams which have not checked in 30 minutes before the tournament is set to start will be removed. This allows other teams which are ready and willing to play to join and check-in to the tournament.
The full set of rules is available on the tournament page of each qualifier.
