ESL Impact Season 6 North America to feature extra open qualifier spot

On July 24th, ESL unveiled the slot allocation for ESL Impact Season 6 North America, with the most notable change being an extra spot in the event set to be filled via the second open qualifier. This spot was made available as a result of Lotus losing their core from last season following the departures of Mira "mira" Luna, Erin "erin" Luna, and Robin "rbn" Bondari thus leaving them without the core that played as Limitless Angels last season.

With this, five teams will have a chance to qualify and join FlyQuest RED, TSM Shimmer, and Karma in the league. The list of teams that will look to make it into the event include Nouns.fe, Gnomes (ex-Wanted Goons Bandits), and Midnight. For these squads, who are the best not currently in the league, the task of making it into the league shouldn't prove too difficult with the relatively lackluster number of signups for the open qualifiers currently. However, there is also opportunity for lesser-known squads like Olga "Knopk@" Khoroshilova's Shock Factor and coffeege's ATS Doves.

The slot allocation for ESL Impact Season 6 NA is as follows:
