Pantamera qualifier set to start

The online qualifier for the Pantamera CS:GO Challenge will kick off on Saturday, with eight teams battling it out for two spots at the main event.

The participating teams, who were determined by a series of Nordic Go4 cups held by ESL over the last few months, will compete in a double-elimination bracket for the chance to win a ticket to the Pantamera CS:GO Challenge, where over $20,000 will be on offer.

The majority of the teams taking part in the qualifier are merely pug rosters, so many are tipping RCTIC, who recently took fifth-sixth at Assembly Winter, to finish in the top places.
