Details about the qualification process for the BLAST Spring Series Showdown have been announced, with BLAST-partnered tournament organizers set to hold regional LAN qualifier events.

The two events are being held by BLAST's Finnish media partner Elisa and CIS partner Winstrike, with a combination of open qualifier teams and invited ones set to compete on LAN for slots at the BLAST Spring Series Showdown.

ENCE and North have been invited to the Nordic qualifier

Elisa will handle the qualifier for the Nordic region, creating "Elisa Invitational", a LAN event that will take place on May 1-3 in Tampere, Finland.

Two teams from each Nordic country (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland) will compete at the eight-team LAN for one spot at the BLAST Spring Series Showdown, with ENCE and North being unveiled as the two invited squads. Full details about the qualification process for all countries, and potential invites, are yet to be announced.
