The qualifier began with a group stage, which saw the top two teams from each group securing a place in the Semi-Finals.

Virtus.Pro has been heavily favoured for this tournament but already got a scare in the group stage with a 15-15 draw to forZe. Virtus.Pro's opponent in the Semi-Finals will be Begrip Gaming, who recently signed Alexander "xek" Zobkov and Vladimir "redman" Tarasov and has a perfect record.

The other match will put face to face Islanders and forZe, two squads that have recently announced roster changes and that are eager to grab the place in the european Extreme Masters qualifier.
