IWCQ 2016 – Qualifiers
The top four teams fly to Curitiba, where they’ll be playing the Best of 5 of their lives: each winner earns a spot at Worlds 2016.
Qualifier 1 – Saturday, September 3rd – 2:00 PM – Best of 5
Qualifier 2 – Sunday, September 4th – 12:00 PM – Best of 5
Keep in mind that, by default, the seeding will follow standard rules of 1st vs. 4th (Q1) and 2nd vs. 3rd (Q2). If the Brazilian team INTZ, however, as the host region, manages to qualify in the top four positions, their Bo5 will take place on Saturday — which can affect the schedule, but never the seedings.
