Closed Qualifier first matchups revealed

A lot of clashes between ECL teams to start the last hurdle before the Americas RMR.

After four days of non-stop NA CS, the final step to reach the Americas RMR is getting started with a lot of matches between teams who know each other very well.

The closed qualifier will start with MIBR vs. Take Flyte, and paiN vs. 4ORMULA, then it will be time for EG vs. yur, and Nouns vs. Detonate, followed by Complexity vs. Reign, and ATK vs. Strife. The first round will end with LOS + oNe vs. Mythic, and Vendetta vs. timbermen.

For Complexity, things might look easy having to face an ESEA Advanced side in Reign, but the BO1s are known to bring some surprises. Evil Geniuses will have a tough task at hand, as yur's core already played against EG for the IEM Rio NA Open Qualifier and things nearly went south for the Seattle-based organization.

Out of the three Brazilian teams, LOS + oNe might have the most difficult task ahead, as Mythic showed a lot of strength in their comeback against Limitless. MIBR is in the same situation as Complexity, having to face an ESEA Advanced side in Take Flyte, but the Brazilians are coming out of a great IEM Rio NA Closed Qualifier which they won. paiN will face Noah "Nifty" Francis' 4ORMULA, who have been showing great gameplay during the open qualifiers.

Nouns vs. Detonate, ATK vs. Strife, and Vendetta vs. timbermen are all matches that have happened before. Nouns have defeated Detonate 2-0 in an ESEA Cash Cup tournament, and Strife have beaten ATK also 2-0 during another Cash Cup. Vendetta and timbermen have faced each other four times, and each team won two maps across three different competitions.
