Eight fight over two Star Series slots

With Evil Geniuses and Quantic being removed from the prime division of Star Ladder due to their unavailibility during the last offline finals, the tournament referees at Cyberarena decided to let eight hand-picked European teams battle for their slots on short notice.

A double elimination bracket with best of one matches will be played on monday, November 12th at 17:00 CET and includes the following teams:

iCCup
NoTidehunter
WhA
mTw
Kaipi
Team Shakira * - not confirmed
M5.BenQ * - not confirmed

An eighth participant to complete the grid is planned to join the action, who - as of now - remains undetermined however. Winner and runner-up of the tournament will join Empire, Na`Vi, Virtus.Pro, PULSE, Zero, Absolute Legends, Eclypsia, Fnatic, GU, FUBAR, XX5, QNK, EVO and perhaps MYM in the first division of Star Ladder.
