Virtus.pro and Ancient finished the Europe Minor Championship open qualifiers ahead of the pack, which got them a promotion into the closed qualifiers, where they will get a chance to fight for a ticket for the main event in Berlin.<\/p>\n

Open qualifiers took place from June 3-4 and featured 16 CS:GO esports<\/a> teams, including some very familiar names.<\/p>\n

The first team to reach the closed qualifiers were Virtus.pro, who have fallen on hard times and are currently trying to rebuild their team and reclaim their former glory. With a lot to prove and even more to lose, they entered the qualifiers with only one goal in mind: to finish at the top and get themselves a chance to return on the grand stage.<\/p>\n

The first opponent Virtus.pro had to face were Osterity eSport, who failed to put up a real fight and went down 7-16. Next up were Nexus Gaming, who also had to kneel down and admit superiority of their opponents (11-16). <\/p>\n

The quarter-finals saw Virtus.pro paired with Aristocracy, who made the Poles work extremely hard for a win. The first half ended in a dominant 11-4 lead for Aristocracy, who extended the margin to 14-7 at the start of the second half. Needing only two rounds to secure victory, Aristocracy seemed to crumble under the pressure as Virtus stormed home to steal a 19-16 win in overtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That set up a date with ad hoc gaming in the BO3 finals series, where Virtus.pro sealed the deal with a 16-9 win on Mirage and a 16-7 result on Nuke.<\/p>\n

Team Ancient had much smoother sailing through the qualifiers. The Swedish team started their qualifiers with a 16-12 win over touch the crown, followed by a dominant 16-7 win against FrenchFrogs and a 16-9 win against AGO Esports to secure a berth in the finals.<\/p>\n

Faced with Chaos EC, Ancient showed no mercy and completely dismantled their fellow Swedes with a 16-8 score on Overpass and 16-4 on Mirage.<\/p>\n

As the last two teams to progress through the open qualifiers, Virtus.pro and Ancient will join 14 other teams in the Europe Minor Championship – Berlin 2019: Closed Qualifier, which will take place from June 10-12 with the top six teams advancing to the main draw.<\/p>\n

The other teams on the bill are BIG, Fnatic, Heroic, mousesport, North, OpTic Gaming, Valiance, Windigo Gaming, NoChance, Sprout, Maknitude, Team GamerLegion, Nordavind and Tricked Esport.<\/p>\n
