OG to Face Astralis in Opener

Relog Media has unveiled the full schedule for the Europe Regional Qualifier for the Austin Major, set to run from April 14-17. With six Stage 1 spots up for grabs, the tournament will begin with five Swiss rounds followed by two tiebreakers to decide the final qualifying team. The opening two rounds will be played in best-of-one format before shifting to best-of-three series. Astralis, narrowly missing a Stage 2 invite by under 30 VRS points, will face OG in a high-stakes first-round clash. 

OG, led by 18-year-old IGL Chr1zN, recently surged in the rankings after a CCT Season 2 Europe win and now boast a Danish core with nicoodoz. Other key matchups include fnatic vs BC.Game, with b0RUP as fnatic’s stand-in, SAW vs BetBoom, HEROIC vs PARIVISION, and GamerLegion vs Nemiga. The event promises intense action as teams fight for Austin Major qualification.
