All eight teams are now known for the North American qualifier for ESL One Cologne.

The North American qualifier for ESL One Cologne, now a major due to Valve's support, will take place inside of ESL's American studio in Burbank, California on August 1-2.

The first four sides to automatically qualify for the North American qualifier were the four teams who placed top four in season one of the ESL ESEA Pro League.

Since Keyd Stars, who already possess a direct invite to ESL One Cologne, finished in the top four of the North American division, the final invite automatically went to the fifth-placed team: Liquid.
