The Electronic Sports League (ESL) has announced all the details about the qualifying process for ESL One Katowice.

Last week, ESL confirmed that it will once again play host to the first major of the year as 16 of the world's best teams will lock horns in Katowice from March 12-15 for the first prize of $100,000.

For the first time in a major tournament, the qualifying process will be split into two parts, one online and one offline.

During the course of the next week, ESL will host a series of online qualifiers in Europe and in the United States to determine which eigth teams will move on to the offline qualifier, scheduled for February 14-15 at the Angelo Hotel, in Katowice.

These eight qualified sides will make for just half of the teams at this offline qualifier, with the remaining participants being directly invited by ESL. Accommodation for this tournament will be provided by ESL and Valve from February 13-16.

In the end, the top eight teams from this offline qualifier will secure spots at ESL One Katowice, where they will take on the eight best teams from the last major, DreamHack Winter.
