The Electronic Sports World Cup is just around the corner, and with the French qualifier on the run, we present you our viewer's guide for the event held at Porte de Versailles.

The event's organizers have met with complaints about the new overtime rules and only days in advance, they decided to partially change the rules, which means no ties in a best-of-three.

Sixteen teams have been drawn into four groups with Joona "natu" Leppänen's ENCE eSports replacing Frost Gaming, who were not able to cover the whole trip to Paris.

ESWC France is on the run with VeryGames and Clan-Mystik through, although they will play a best-of-three at 16:30 for the seeds in the main tournament.
