For the 12 teams participating in EMS One Cup #4, it is their final chance to accummulate more points and possibly, an auto qualification to the groupstage of the tournament.

The winner of the cup will join six other qualified and invited teams in the groupstage. Apart from that, five non-winning teams with the highest points will also qualify for the groupstage. The group stage participants will be divided in three groups of four, and only six teams will make it to the offline playoffs.

Regardless of the results from cup #4, ONE.Dota, and Against All Authority have accummulated enough points from the first three cups to take part in the groupstage. Two time LAN finals competitor Team Menace will most probably qualify if Power Rangers, 4FC, and Team Property BB2 do not place three.

Teams in groupstage:

Alliance (invited)
Natus Vincere (invited)
Mousesports (invited)
Flipside.Tactics
Team Empire
Fnatic
ONE.Dota
Against All Authority
