ESL One Frankfurt 2015 is inching closer and closer. In less than three months, we will see the best teams from around the world compete at the Commerzbank Arena, and the regional qualifiers are heating up. Who will join Team Secret, Evil Geniuses and Vici Gaming in June? Let’s see how the qualifiers are shaping up!

EU main qualifier

The EU main qualifier has been progressing over the past few weeks, and we are starting to get a clearer picture of what the double elimination bracket will look like. Alliance especially has been in strong form so far and have yet to lose a map, having brushed aside Cloud 9 in the third round. The Swedes are one matchup away from a qualifier slot, with their opponents for the final round to be decided this weekend.

Schedule
You can check out the bracket and schedule below:

The EU main qualifier upper bracket
