The first qualifier on Saturday was full of upsets as Na'Vi and Team Liquid became the first two to qualify. Na'Vi won their first series 2-0 over Virtus.Pro, but went on to win 2-0 over Team Dignitas, regarded as one of the best teams in Europe. Team Liquid played an intense first series against mYinsanity, winning just 2-1 and moving on to face Fnatic for a chance at qualifying. The final series was close, but Team Liquid ultimately came out on top.
In the second qualifier of the weekend on Sunday, Dignitas came back with power and won 2-0 in both series, guaranteeing themselves a spot at DreamHack. Fnatic played a very close first series against Epsilon, winning 2-1. Then, in a dominating victory, Fnatic won 2-0 to upset mYi and qualify for DreamHack. mYinsanity is considered one of the best teams in the European region, and represented EU alongside Dignitas at the Spring Global Championship.
