BBL Won the Qualifier Through the Upper Bracket

BBL completed the entire qualifier without dropping to the lower bracket.

In their opening match, the team defeated EYEBALLERS 2:0 before overcoming ex-RUSTEC 2:1. In the upper-bracket final, BBL faced Betclic and claimed another 2:1 victory, securing their place in Bucharest.

The result became one of the first notable achievements for the roster after the recent signing of Mikkel "MistR" Thomsen.

For the organization itself, this will also be its first major international appearance since forming the current Danish lineup at the end of August. The team moved under the BBL banner after Tricked ceased operations.

Betclic Secured the Second Spot

Betclic began the qualifier with a 2:1 win over Eternal Fire before comfortably defeating Nemesis 2:0.

After losing to BBL in the upper-bracket final, the team received another opportunity in the deciding lower-bracket match. There, Betclic faced Nemesis once again and won 2:0 for the second time.

That result earned the Polish team the second qualification spot.

For Betclic, the Bucharest event will mark a rare appearance at a major tournament. The last time the team played at a notable international event was after qualifying for PGL Bucharest 2025.

GamerLegion Miss Another Qualifier

The qualifier ended unsuccessfully for GamerLegion.

The European team opened with a 0:2 loss to ex-RUSTEC before falling 1:2 to EYEBALLERS and being eliminated.

As a result, GamerLegion have now failed to qualify through two consecutive events after also missing out in the qualifier for 1win Private Club Season 2.
