The first qualifier for the PGL Regional Minor Championship has finished, with Epsilon eSports and ENCE securing spots for the LAN in November.

After 11 European teams unsuccessfully protested the direct invites for the Minor earlier this week, two new teams for the PGL-hosted event have been found through the online qualifier.

In the last day of the first qualifier, the Swedes of Epsilon cruised past iNation before meeting Tricked in the deciding match.

Epsilon will feature on another Minor - the third for REZ and draken

Jakob "⁠JUGi⁠" Hansen and Nikolaj "⁠niko⁠" Kristensen had solid games over the three-map affair, but Nicolai "⁠HUNDEN⁠" Petersen's team wasn't able to get more than one map in the series. After losing Train 16-9, William "⁠draken⁠" Sundin and co. won their map pick - Mirage (16-9) and closed the deal on Cobblestone (16-7).
