All weekend long, 16 teams will compete for the last two spots in the North American Halo Championships Series ESL Pro League. Six teams have already qualified through other events, and this is absolutely the last shot for teams who want to continue playing through the summer.
Qualified Teams: Counter Logic Gaming, Evil Geniuses, Team Allegiance, Team EnVyUs, Enigma6, Renegades
For the Last Chance Qualifier this weekend, the 16 teams were chosen based on their performances in a series of online qualifiers. Five teams from the Summer Invitational received a bye, and remaining spots were taken by the 11 best teams of the 120 team pool in last weekend’s Open Qualifiers.
Tournament Format
The teams are divided into four groups of four teams and the top two to emerge from the double elimination bracket will move on to Sunday’s single-elimination bracket. Each match in that stage is a best of seven. The top two teams will join the HCS Pro League
