ELEAGUE still lists Immortals as one of the eight teams with Legend status despite the fact that the Brazilian side currently have just two players from the squad that reached the final in Krakow on their active roster. For that reason, the spot is under review and in case Immortals cannot field at least 3/5 of the team that competed at PGL Major Krakow, will most likely have to fight for a spot at the Americas Minor via the qualifiers.
All event dates are listed below:
- October 26-29 – Asia Minor (Seoul)
- October 26-29 – CIS Minor (Bucharest)
- November 2-5 – Europe Minor (Bucharest)
