FURIA and Lazarus have joined the Americas Minor team list after beating TeamOne and Luminosity, respectively, in the upper bracket quarter-finals of the North American closed qualifier.

After the opening day of the qualifier saw the first round of the upper bracket played out, with the favorites making it through in each matchup except one – as Cloud9 lost to New Identity –, the second day began with the first four elimination matches in the lower bracket.

There, four teams exited the competition including Cloud9, who continued their shockingly poor run and suffered a defeat at the hands of The Quest.
