The qualifier, played in a four-team double-elimination bracket, kicked off with LiviD taking on Farmers Reborn and Poutine Warriors up against up north. LiviD took a 2-0 win over Farmers, despite a strong performance from Musa "fisher" Mammadov keeping the Farmers afloat on both maps.  Poutine Warriors similarly found a clean 2-0 series against up north, with Tyson "TenZ" Ngo stomping up north on Train.

In the Winners' Match, both LiviD and Poutine Warriors collided, with a full best-of-three series playing out. The first map of Overpass saw LiviD take the first half with a strong 11-4 lead at halftime, before TenZ and Victor "cadiac" Kwan pulled the map back in the Poutine Warriors' favor, with the map ultimately going into overtime. In OT, Poutine Warriors pulled out four straight rounds, taking the first map 19-15. 

On Train, LiviD rebounded with a strong 12-3 first half, with Yannick "KOLER" Blanchette leading LiviD to a 16-5 finish on the map, tying the series 1-1. LiviD continued their dominance onto Cache, but were met with more resistance in the first half, as their lead dwindled to a 9-6 scoreline. However, a strong second half easily gave LiviD the third map 16-7, taking the series 2-1 and qualifying them for the WESG Canada regional finals.
