Diie Top Acht Teams der EMS Katowice Championship sind bereits direkt eingeladen, darunter unter anderem der amtierende Champion Virtus.pro und der frisch gekürte DreamHack-Sieger Ninjas in Pyjamas. Dazu kommen noch sechs weitere Mannschaften aus Europa, ein Team aus Nordamerika und eines aus Ozeanien/Australien.

Having watched the Finals in Katowice it will be absolutely brilliant to watch Virtus.pro and Ninjas in Pyjamas take the stage again in Cologne. With exciting teams such as Team Dignitas and HellRaisers, who constantly improve their gameplay to surprise their opponents, the tournament looks to be fantastic. Can't wait to see which teams qualify in the coming weeks. You definitely don't want to miss this tournament.
