Following the start of the second season of the European WCS, it is time for new challengers to rise up. Through four qualifiers, eight players will qualify for the Challenger League. They will be joined by 24 players that drop down from the Premier League Ro32 and Ro16 as well as eight survivors of last season's Challenger League to compete in the Challenger League Bracket Stage later on. League Format and Qualification The Challenger League is made up of a bracket stage with 40 players followed by a group stage with 32 players. The top 8 players of the bracket stage will qualify for next season's Premier League, followed by 16 more after the group stage. Therefore, participating in these cups is the only chance for any player not currently in the Premier League players to compete in the Premier League in Season 3.



Challenger League - Online Qualifiers From the 6th to 14th of July four online qualifiers will be held with up to 1024 participants each. Every day the top 2 will qualify for the Challenger League of WCS Europe's second season. The brackets of all qualifiers will be seeded based on a dedicated WCS ranking followed by the all-time Go4SC2 ranking. All matches will be played in best of three format.
