Hundreds of teams participated and we have had lots of surprises and also confirmations of the best teams there is in this region. Unfortunately, the European Qualifiers took longer than anticipated due to several server problems faced during the qualifiers especially during the Semi-Finals; which in fact is the reason why the Final was played today.

It started on January 26th and finished today - the battle of the best teams in the European Qualifier for the ALGS Major being held in Arlington, Texas, USA on March 13th-15th.

The Final game consisting of BO5 (best-of-five) matches were played today to determine the top 5 teams that will have their travelling expenses paid by EA, and also a spot in the Major Playoff Stage which comes after the Major Open Stage in which the rest of the teams from 6th till 20th place will participate in.

The French powerhouse, Warthox Esport, made it in third place with 52 points including the 1st place placement in Round 2, the 2nd place in Round 3 and also the 3rd place in Round 1.
