The winning team will receive a direct invitation to the MLG Major Lan Qualifier to be played out from February 26-28th.
SPLYCE, second place finishers at the MLG Minor Columbus, will receive a first round bye in the event, securing them a spot in the semifinals where they will meet either Torqued or Games Academy.
