The final regional qualification for ESL Challenger Atlanta 2023 has concluded. The European slot was earned by the team Apeks. In the final, the team overcame FORZE.

Apeks began the qualification with an unexpected defeat by FTW. It seemed that after this, the team had little chance of victory and participation in the last tournament in 2023. However, Apeks regrouped and managed to speedrun the lower bracket of the ESL Challenger Atlanta 2023: European Qualifier, winning five matches in a row.
