The lcs won't start till late Jan. Why would he stay in NA when nobody is playing scrims and Christmas is coming up. TSM just played a tournament with that guy, that is much better insight into how he plays with their team than some duoQ in NA.

What are the CS Qualifiers?

After the Open Qualifier and National Leagues in EU, teams advance to the CS Qualifiers to fight for a spot in the 2016 Spring Challenger Series. Here’s the format for the NA and EU CS Qualifiers:

North America:

2 lowest CS teams from 2015 Summer Split vs. top 2 teams from the NA CS Open Qualifier
5th Place CS team picks their opponent from the NA Open Qualifier

With a single source of potential Challenger teams, NA will rely on the Open Qualifier and will use a promotion tournament format that mirrors the NA LCS. The NA Qualifiers Finals will be Best of 5 and the winner of each Finals will secure a spot in the 2016 NA Challenger Series Spring Split.

Europe:

Teams:

2 lowest CS teams from 2015 CS Summer Split
3 National League winners
3 teams from the EU CS Open Qualifiers
EUW & EUNE winners
Winner of one-off match between the EUW/EUNE 2nd place seeds

Format:

Teams are split into two single-elimination brackets with four teams per bracket
Seeding into brackets is random, but each of the 2 CS teams, as well as the top team from EUW and EUNE, will be drawn into different brackets.
