The list of teams participating in the IEM Chengdu 2024: South American Qualifier has been finalized, set to take place online from January 17 to 18. Teams 9z and MIBR, who received invitations based on their ESL ranking positions, have joined the lineup. Additionally, Sharks and RED Canids, who won in the open qualifiers, have also qualified for the competition.

One of the most dramatic moments of the qualification was the final of the second open qualifier, where Legacy failed to maintain a 1:0 series lead and an 11:6 score on the second map, losing to RED Canids. The early exits of Imperial and paiN were also surprising.

IEM Chengdu 2024: South American Qualifier will be conducted in a double-elimination bracket format, with all matches being BO3. MIBR will face Sharks, while RED Canids will play against 9z.
