European Qualifier

32 Teams, 23 from Europe and 9 from the United States registered for the online qualifier that took place during the weekend of the 21st and 22nd July. The Blitzkrieg Masters 2018 European Qualifier #1 kicked off on Saturday afternoon were casters Mitch ‘MitchMan’ McBride and Dean ‘DeaN’ Brown started casting the games together with Amory ‘Dark’ Van Aerschot handling the production. The first match in the bracket was a best out of 1 (BO1) and as teams progressed onwards matches turned to a best out of 3 (BO3). Coastal was perhaps the most map played while Derailed, Liberation and Manorhouse v2 were also heavily chosen. In the European Qualifier no team picked Invasion or the newly introduced map Savoia.

With no surprise at all Team Demise managed to cling a spot in the finals while unexpectedly enough NoNames managed to reach the final and get a spot to play the top dogs in Amsterdam after beating Avenue and ex-Defusekids lineup. Later on Blitzkirieg issued a statment and removed Nonames spot becuase Bulkhead Interactive have issued an official developer ban on one of the player’s account. As per section 4.3 in their rules,

We have issued the offending player with an indefinite ban from all tournaments by The Plays.  The offending player has been provided the evidence which supports this decision, as well as the right to appeal as per our rules. 

An invite-only qualification tournament will be held between the teams Nonames knocked out during Blitzkrieg Masters European Qualifier Round 1. Dates and more information of this tournament  are yet to be decided.
