<\/p>\nStage 1 of LORGAR RANKINGS tournament is done. Four days of national open qualifiers across 18 countries. Any team could sign up, and nearly 2,000 players across 400 teams did. The first results are in, and the level of competition has already set a high bar.<\/p>\n
Today, we can preconfirm the teams advancing to the Closed Qualifier. That’s the invite-only stage where the best teams from each country compete head-to-head in Bo3 (best-of-three match) series:<\/p>\n

\ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf1 KOLESIE<\/a> (VRS #70) The open qualifier bracket also attracted some serious names that didn’t make it through. From \ud83c\udde7\ud83c\uddec Bulgaria, ACEND<\/a> (VRS #69) and ENRAGE<\/a> were eliminated early. \ud83c\uddf7\ud83c\uddf4 Romania saw aimclub<\/a> (VRS #198) and INFINITE<\/a> exit the bracket, while the Baltics lost \ud83c\uddf1\ud83c\uddfb EC Banga<\/a> (VRS #157) and \ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddea GENESIS<\/a>. The Balkan bracket eliminated \ud83c\uddfd\ud83c\uddf0 MANA<\/a> (VRS #112) and \ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddf1 Hermine<\/a>. \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf1 Poland’s bracket was arguably the most stacked \u2014 Los Kogutos<\/a> (VRS #98), Phantom<\/a> (VRS #89), Minlate<\/a> (VRS #102), Brazilijski luz, all eliminated. \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 Ukraine had FavBet<\/a> (VRS #76), Basement Boys<\/a> (VRS #167), Wrotberry, Okura, and B8 Academy in the mix \u2014 none of them advancing.<\/p>\n With the national stage behind us, the tournament moves into the online phase.
