Now that the final IEM6 Global Challenge for Counter-Strike has finished, IEM has published the updated season rankings that will determine teams for the World Championship.
First three spots are given to the top placing American, Asian and European teams, in this case (assuming they all accept their spots and can afford going) SK Gaming, Ultimax Gaming USA and eFuture.
Next up the top two placing teams from each global challenge are invited, which adds on fnatic, mousesports, WinFakt and Natus Vincere for a total of seven teams. SK Gaming placed top two in New York and Kiev but already receive a spot by being the top ranked European team.
As explained in our previous post, the rest of the teams will be invited based on their points in the season ranking to round up the total of twelve teams that will be competing in Hannover on March 6-10.
Here is what the ranking looks like post IEM6 Global Challenge Kiev:
| # | Team | Region | Qualified? | Points |
| 1st | SK Gaming |
Europe | #1 Europe | 155 |
| 2nd | WinFakt |
Europe | New York |
125 |
| 3rd | fnatic |
Europe | Guangzhou |
115 |
| 4th | Natus Vincere |
Europe | Kiev | 90 |
| 5th | mousesports |
Europe | Guangzhou |
75 |
| 6th | Moscow Five |
Europe | Points | 45 |
| 7th | mTw |
Europe | Points | 45 |
| 8th | Ultimax Gaming USA |
America | #1 America | 25 |
| 9th | eFuture |
Asia | #1 Asia | 25 |
| 10th | Lions |
Europe | Points | 15 |
| 11th | EG |
America | Points | 15 |
| 11th | Check Six |
America | Points | 15 |
| 13th | Anexis |
Europe | 15 | |
| 13th | TyLoo |
Asia | 15 | |
| 15th | DTS |
Europe | 10 |
|
| 16th | Black & Yellow |
America | 10 | |
| 16th | semXorah |
America | 10 | |
| 18th | Immunity |
Asia | 10 | |
| 18th | XcN |
Asia | 10 |
The remaining five spots will go to the teams with the highest total of points, so once again assuming everyone would attend on the list, they would be Moscow Five, mTw, Lions, Evil Geniuses and Check Six.
However, as we all now, mTw and Evil Geniuses have disbanded (although they could still go should three of their players wish to attend together) and some of the other teams might not be able to make the trip either, so in that case the spots will be offered to teams further down the list.
ESL will announce the groups for IEM6 World Championship next week which is when the teams should be confirmed. HLTV.org will be on-site at CeBIT in Hannover, Germany on March 6-10 when the season six IEM World Champions will be crowned.
-UMX.us (dunno, maybe they'l find money for long trip)
-eFuture
-EG
-CheckSix
+Anexis
+DTS
+3 from EU: ESC, eSahara, KerchNET/Alternate

WinFakt
fnatic
Natus Vincere
mousesports
M5
UMX
LIONS
Anexis
DTS
the above 10 will attend for sure
tyloo, efuture, sX might also attend but you never know with these teams
I hope that ESC gets a spot too, but looking at the list I doubt it
...only 10 teams, that sucks

ESC have only one chance of attending. They have failed to qualify for any of the 3 Global Challenges, thus gaining no points for this ranking.
Out of Moscow Five, mTw, Lions, Evil Geniuses and Check Six, you know mTw and EG are not coming, and Check Six is still doubtable.
Furthermore its still unsure if UMX and eFuture are going to attend.
Lets say 5 spots open up. Next in line would be Anexis TyLoo DTS Black&Yellow semXorah. Out of those 5 I only see Anexis and DTS coming. Leaves 3 spots open. Immunity and XcN are also highly unlikely to attend in my eyes.
Which leaves you with 3 open spots to be filled. Its up to ESL what they are going to do, but I feel that in this case ESC should get a spot.
