Team Secret, Team Liquid, and Alliance will be representing Europe after they claimed the top three spots in the European Qualifier. NoPangolier and Virtus.pro will be representing the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region, after claiming the top two spots in their qualifier. Team Aster, Vici Gaming, and PSG.LGD will be representing China thanks to their performances in the China qualifying event. Fnatic and TNC Predator will be representing Southeast Asia, while J.Storm, Forward Gaming, and Evil Geniuses will be representing North America. The final two regional slots in the South America qualifier are going to Pain Gaming and Thunder Predator, despite the tournament being won by test 123. Due to Valve’s rules on region-hopping, test 123 was disqualified from the tournament and their spot given to third placed Thunder Predator.

All that remains is for the final team to be decided at the upcoming Bucharest Minor, which will take place in early January of next year. This tournament will feature one team each from North America, South America, CIS, and Southeast Asia, and two teams each from Europe and China, who will battle it out for the final spot in the Chongqing Major. With such fierce competition already confirmed for the event, whichever teams wins the Bucharest Minor had best be prepared for a fight.
