Held at the Futuroscope Amusement Park and Congress Center in Poitiers, the French KODE5 stop was confirmed to be a four-team tournament that will use a single-elimination system, with every match being played on a best-of-three mode.

The Portuguese side Defining Stars, who had been given the bottom seeding, confirmed yesterday its inability to attend the event as Ricardo "foxj" Pacheco was unable to leave the country because of personal problems.

To replace Defs, the KODE5 organisation decided to invite local squad atLanteam, who proved a strong figure at Extreme Masters after reaching the Relegation phase.

Mousesports was in marvellous form at Extreme Masters Finals and comes into this event with big expectations, hoping it will return to Germany with the qualification assured.

However, the German team won't have an easy task against Dimension4, who has been very strong in the last local events, having even defeated WCG champion emuLate.

This event will also be a good opportunity to see in action the new aAa line-up, which features veteran Vincent "YanK" Fournier instead of Marc "bisou" Naoum.
