It should be noted that teams such as Ninjas in Pyjamas and Top Esports, which assembled their rosters before the start of the tournament, did not pass the open qualifications. Despite this, they could not make a mark in the open qualifiers and were eliminated in the first stage. It remains to be hoped that these teams will be able to better prepare for the second series of the tournament and justify the resources invested in them by the organization.
