ESL Impact announces Season 6 dates

ESL Impact has revealed the schedule for the sixth season of the competition, which will start with the regional open qualifiers on August 4th. It will end with the LAN Final grand final in Stockholm on November 24th.

This is the final season of 2024, and only one of the eight North American teams will advance to the final stage. Asia has seen its spot completely revoked, even after HSG fe reached the playoffs two times in the last four seasons.

For North American teams, except FlyQuest RED, TSM Shimmer, and Karma, the competition starts on August 4th with the first qualifier, which will run until August 6th, and the first qualifier will go from August 9th until August 11th. The best two teams of each qualifier will advance to the regional group stage, where they will meet the aforementioned squads. It remains to be seen if Nouns fe will receive an invite after Limitless Angels' disbandment, just like Karma did in Season 5 after the same happened to EG Gold.

The regional group stage is set to start on August 28th and is scheduled to end on October 20th, with the LAN Finals being held in Stockholm from November 22nd through the 24th. The final stage will feature five European teams, two South American squads, and only one North American roster, as Asia has been completely excluded from Season 6.

• Open Qualifier #1: August 4th-6th, Top 2 advance to Regional Group Stage
