ELEAGUE Road to Vegas

¹ Team SoloMid's active stand-in,

Twistzz, is too young to participate and will be replaced by

cadiaN. ^[7]

² Due to scheduling and visa issues, TyLoo will not attend ELEAGUE. They are replaced by Selfless Gaming. ^[8]

³

zonic stood in for

karrigan for the first day of the group stage due to his ESTA application being declined. ^[9]

⁴ Team Liquid and Counter Logic Gaming swap

jdm64 and

koosta, therefore the latter will be playing for CLG in the last chance bracket. ^[10]

⁵ SK Gaming part ways with their Danish lineup and acquire the former roster of Luminosity Gaming after both parties agreed to end contract disputes. The former SK lineup now reside under Team X. ^[11]

⁶ SK Gaming and Team X are disqualified for roster changes that "do not comply with ELEAGUE rules". ^[12] This results in the (previously eliminated) Renegades and Gambit Gaming instead advancing to the Last Chance qualifier and Cloud9 automatically advancing to the playoffs.

⁷

Fuks will stand in for

RpK starting with the Last Chance Qualifier due to the latter having a perforated eardrum. ^[13]

⁸

DavCost will be replacing

spaze in the Last Chance Qualifier due to health issues of the latter. ^[14]

⁹

Rickeh joins Renegades after

SPUNJ's retirement

² Further discrepancies are due to the disqualification of SK Gaming and Team X ^[12]
