Originally scheduled to begin on February 28, the European and South American qualifiers have been postponed. The North American and Asian qualifiers, which were set to start on March 4 and March 6, are also affected. A total of 32 teams in Europe and North America and 31 teams in South America were set to compete in the closed qualifier stage.
Teams such as BIG, BetBoom, OG, ENCE, fnatic, NIP, and Monte were set to participate in the tournament that was scheduled to start today.
PGL Acknowledges Disruption, Apologizes for Delay
PGL has apologized for the delay, acknowledging the disruption it may cause teams. In an official statement, the company expressed its commitment to avoiding similar issues in the future.
