Eighteen teams attended the European qualifiers in search of one of the four DreamHack Las Vegas spots. The qualifiers were quite stacked with some top teams attending such as fnatic, GODSENT, G2 and FaZe. In the end, mousesports, fnatic, FaZe and Gambit prevailed as the four qualified teams.
Beside these teams, four ELEAGUE Major teams lost their chances to compete at DreamHack Las Vegas which will take place on 15-19 February with a $450.000 prize pool to be contested.
