+ Show Spoiler +
We will have a qualifier on Saturday the 21st of March, where 16 players will be found for our Copenhagen Games SC2 live event. These top 16 players will get a direct spot into the 2nd Group Stage, starting at Thursday the 2nd of April, instead of starting with the rest of the players in the 1st Group Stage, the 1st of April. Besides that, the top16 players in this qualifier will get the top16 Seed for the whole tournament.
IF you get into top 16 in this qualifier, on Saturday the 21st of March, you have to go to the event in April. You still have to buy your own Copenhagen Games ticket and cover your own travel expenses, which means, Copenhagen Games will not cover any of these expenses for you, if you qualify through the qualifier on Saturday the 21st of March.
TLDR: If you want to participate in the onsite tournament, you have to cover all your own expenses.
