The eight-team bracket for DreamHack Open Valencia's European closed qualifier has been determined, following the end of the open qualifying stage. Nexus, Tempo Storm, ENCE and Nordavind have all earned places in the closed qualifier after finishing top four in the open bracket, with teams like eXtatus, Quantum Bellator Fire, Vega Squadron and Tricked failing to make the cut. The qualified quartet will now join four invitees - AGO, Valiance, Fragsters and Imperial - in a single-elimination, best-of-three bracket, kicking off on Sunday, May 6, at 12:00 .
Only the winner of the qualifier will claim a spot at the Spanish event, which will run from July 12-14 at Feria Valencia, with $100,000 up for grabs. Below you can find the first-round match-ups for the qualifier:
