Play in the first qualifying group for the Global Challenge LAN, Europe, has concluded with ENCE emerging victorious over AK47 (19:16 on Train and 16:8 on Cobblestone) , and with MK defeating ALTERNATE aTTaX (11:16 on Cobblestone, 16:9 Overpass, and 16:12 Dust2).

AK47 and ALTERNATE aTTax leave the tournament without a spot at the LAN but with a $2,500 consolation prize, while the bottom four teams leave empty handed. The European bracket was relatively small, with only eight teams, and the playoffs will continue with the North American bracket, another small bracket with eight teams.
