The final stage of the European qualifier with six ESL One Cologne spots up for grabs is ready to kick off on July 26th and we bring you the bracket and schedule for the event.
During the last couple of weeks sixteen teams have been found in four qualifiers for the ESL One Cologne European Finals, which will hand out six spots for the next Valve major.
ScreaM's Titan are amongst the favourites to go through
Those teams are now ready for the final qualifier, which is going to be played in a best-of-three double elimination format on July 26-27. Four of the six slots will be given to teams reaching the upper bracket semi-final, while the remaining two will be decided in the lower bracket round of four.
No further stage will be played from that point on, as all of the qualifying teams will already be decided. Here is the full schedule of ESL One Cologne European Finals:
