Yesterday, MLG announced the details for the Americas Minor, for which they invited four teams and granted four spots for qualifying teams, three to North America and one to South America. CEVO have now unveiled the qualifier dates and format as the two regional tournaments will be deciding the last four teams to participate in the $50,000 Minor. Tempo Storm, OpTic, Selfless, and NRG have received invitations to the Americas Minor and their goal will be to reach the grand final at the tournament to book their tickets to the ESL One Cologne 2016 Offline Qualifier.

The South American qualifier, which features eight invited teams, will be the first in line and is set to take place on April 25th and 26th.

The winner among these eight will qualify for the Americas Minor: g3x | Keyd | INTZ | teamONE | BigGods | CNB | Innova | Dexterity |
