Cologne will be one of Liquid's first tournaments with their re-tooled roster after saying goodbye to Casper "cadiaN" Møller, Felipe "skullz" Medeiros, and coach Wilton "zews" Prado. The team is currently reported to be bringing in the much-sought after Australian Justin "jks" Savage alongside the unknown Roland "ultimate" Tomkowiak. Torbjørn "mithR" Nyborg has reportedly been chosen to lead the team as the organization hopes to make the Major via ranking points after just missing out earlier this year.

Complexity will head into the event having retained their starting lineup. The organization hopes that its win in Jönköping just before the player break will propel it to future success with an eye on Cologne as a major opportunity for the squad.

Finally, teams like 9z, FURIA, paiN, Imperial, and MIBR will make it seven total Americas teams in the competition and looking to make a splash on the global stage.
