Seeding determines which team has priority in the opening round. The former Splyce roster is rumoured to be competing as Kungarna, but who exactly will be lining out is as yet unconfirmed.
Update 17th May: Kungarna have since dropped out and will be replaced by EnVision eSports
Update 18th May: YGGP? have dropped from the qualifier
- Rise Nation
- Renegades
- Evil Geniuses
- Tempo Storm
- NRG Esports
- You guys get paid?
- EnVision eSports

The admins say the actual bracket and draw will be revealed tomorrow. Although with standard seeding practice one might expect to see Rise vs GFe, RNG vs EnVision, EG vs YGGP? and Tempo vs NRG in Round 1.
The qualifiers are set to be an eight team double elimination bracket. Presumably there will be no grand final match as the upper bracket winner will joined Group A with Liquid, YIKES! and LG Evil, whilst the lower bracket winner will join Immortals, Selfless and CLG in Group B.
