C0ntact Gaming, one of the teams attending the qualifier, changed regions from North America to Europe. This change will also affect the regional prize pool distribution, with Europe rising from $105,000 to $115,000 and North America decreasing from $70,000 to $60,000.

The tournament organizer added Orgless and Yeah to complete the North American team list, Isurus and Team oNe to wrap up the South American region, Chiefs and Ground Zero in Oceania, and Camel Riders in Asia.

For now, this is the only qualifier announced for the ESL One Rio Major. Valve intends to work with other tournament organizers to provide additional opportunities for every team to qualify, however.
