Open Qualification for ESL SC2 Masters Winter 2023

The fourth installment of the ESL Pro Tour is underway, and we are getting near to the second part of it with our online regionals and the offline event in Atlanta!

Here you can find the detailed schedule for the upcoming qualifiers and regional events and all the necessary information in order to be able to participate in the second ESL SC2 Masters of the year.

Registering for the LAN

Participation in the ESL Masters competition held in Atlanta can be achieved through two routes:
 
  • You can qualify through the regional competitions and secure yourself a paid trip and seeding into the deep stages of the competition (Winners Stage);
  • Or you can register to the 32 slots available in the early stages of the competition (Open Stage).
 
To keep the highest level of competition, the open slots will be filled by ESL Pro Tour points order. Registration will remain open to either fill the remaining open slots or have replacements available in case of drop-outs, but priority will be given to points holder. Our first deadline for all the participants to display interest in joining us in Atlanta is November 19th.
 

The sign-ups for the Festival begins on October 1st, at 6pm CEST. The first wave of invites is going to be confirmed at the end of the online regionals, on November 19th.

It is important to note that both qualification routes can be chosen by those interested in taking part in the Festival. The details for the regional competitions, including schedule, invites, and qualification slots can be found below.

Participation in any Sub-Region (e.g. in ESL SC2 Masters) is allowed for citizens of countries belonging to that Sub-Region and to players who have permanent residency in such country (i.e. being legally qualified for permanent residency in such country and having lived in such country for at least one year at the time of the first match of the competition). If a player not fulfilling these requirements can clearly prove their permanent residency in an eligible country otherwise, ESL may grant an exception. This will usually only happen in cases where the player has no other chance to take part in competitions leading into the Masters Championship.

If there can be any uncertainty about which main or sub-region a player belongs to or wants to play in, it is the responsibility of the player to come forward and explain himself as early as possible. If the player has the choice between two or more main and/or sub-regions, he can only make that choice once per competition and not change it until the next one. Especially it is not allowed to take part in two sub-regions in the same season, including their qualifiers.
