The tournament is a cross between an Olympic style event and a first come first serve event. This gives teams and players from Latvia, the Czech Republic, and Belarus a shot at the title but still makes sure that the elite teams and players are well represented.
The tournament works as follows:
Players and teams from across Europe will play in national qualifiers to determine who will participate in the Extreme Masters tournament. Twelve teams will qualify directly into the final round, round three, twelve will qualify into the second round and twenty four will qualify for the opening round. Twelve teams or players will advance from round one to round two and twelve teams or players will advance from round two to round three. The top eight in the final round will advance to the LAN finals.
Below is a list of the qualified players and teams with links to the qualifier results.
