The Electronic Sports League has announced all the details about the European qualifier for ESL One Cologne.

On July 25-26, ESL's esports arena, in Cologne, will play host to the European offline qualifier for the upcoming major, which will be held in the same German city, from August 20-23, with the support of Valve.

Sixteen teams will be taking part in this qualifier with hopes of securing one of the four spots at ESL One Cologne that will be up for grabs. Five seeded teams will be joined by 11 sides coming from online pre-qualifiers at the main qualifier, whose format remains unknown.
