Flashpoint 2 closed qualifier invites revealed

11-10-2020 22:25

Sixteen teams from across Europe will be duking it out for two spots in the $1 million league.

B Site has revealed the names of the eight teams that have been invited to compete in the closed qualifier for Flashpoint 2. GODSENT, North, and FORZE headline the invite list for the tournament, which will also feature eight teams determined by open qualifiers.

The 16 teams have been split into two double-elimination groups, with all matches being played in a best-of-three format. The group winners will earn spots in the second edition of Flashpoint, joining seven of the league's eight founding partners - including Cloud9, MIBR and defending champions MAD Lions - and three invitees ranked inside the top 20.

GODSENT are the highest-ranked team invited to the qualifier

The seeding was determined by HLTV.org's world rankings. This sees Group A contain just three invitees, while Group B features five, including Flashpoint 1's third-placed team, HAVU, who could field ENCE AWPer Elias "⁠Jamppi⁠" Olkkonen as a stand-in.

Below you can find the groups and the opening match-ups:

Group A:

Group A:

GODSENT vs. Lilmix
Winstrike vs. Secret
Virtus.pro vs. AVEZ
Endpoint vs. SAW

Group B:

2020-10-11 22:33

xDDDDDD

Yep Flashpoint 2nd tier confirmed.

2020-10-11 22:36

It's not that different from a Minor, only two teams will qualify for the main event.

2020-10-12 09:23

So they invite teams who failed to qualify from the open qualifiers? LOL, what a circus

2020-10-11 22:41

This whole Flashpoint thingy has been a one whole letdown since its announcement, nothing exciting about it other than Thorin making an arse of himself at every given opportunity

2020-10-11 22:38

Lmao I can't see the difference between fp2 and lulbet Only much higher prize pool

2020-10-11 22:39

Pretty much same thoughts, the only saving grace for the tourny would be seeing Colossus in action and getting to know the new MIBR roster

2020-10-11 23:11

Movistar Riders?

Lost on both open qualifiers

2020-10-12 09:24

Same as other teams there

2020-10-12 15:48

GO BP5

what a joke

nice tier 2-3 invites flashpoint LUL

not even tier 2

imagine inviting a team who failed in both open qualifiers

North and forZe is going to qualify imo.

throwZe will throw again

I think they won't throw this chance.

what xd they are in the same group

2020-10-11 22:59

7 replies

So they can't both qualify?

6 replies

not because one team from the group will advance to the main event

2020-10-11 23:02

Wtf is this shit format. Then North and sAw will qualify.

2020-10-11 23:06

4 replies

i think godsent or vp from group A and North or Gambit from group B will advance to main event

2020-10-11 23:08

I doubt that either GODSENT or VP will qualify. And from group B I think North has a much better chance than Gambit.

2020-10-12 16:15

we will see

2020-10-12 17:02

Sure.

2020-10-12 20:53

GL Nexus

2020-10-12 08:15

Flashpoint living up to their reputation lmao

2020-10-11 22:54

The way Flashpoint have run these qualifiers has been a joke. Open qualifiers announced two days before they start, closed qualifier invites sent out barely before and even during the open qualifier (see: Secret lost in both but still got an invite), casters getting conflicting information on whether they can stream matches, and now this list of teams/opening matchups squeaks out at 10pm. This is meant to improve the scene and put pressure on ESL? I've seen $100 prize pool LANs with better organisation.

2020-10-11 22:56

+1 ago too

2020-10-11 22:58

+111111111111 no time to practice and the format is soo bad

2020-10-11 23:07

AGO also lost in both. Heretics lost in the 1st open qualifier.

2020-10-11 23:25

but heretics forfeited the match in a duel with sg

2020-10-11 23:36

Lesgoooo heretics

2020-10-11 23:20

lmao tier 3 tournament :D easy for jamppi

2020-10-11 23:21

Let's go HAVU

2020-10-11 23:39

this is DreamHack closed qualifier?

2020-10-11 23:41

This flashpoint organization is ridiculous

Invite teams that failed to qualify through the open qualifier

2020-10-11 23:42

They probably just got highest rated from quals who didn't qual or just invite such aš North

2020-10-12 00:55

Most likely based on the hltv rating

2020-10-12 17:20

"throw all the mixed teams in one group, fuck that"

2020-10-12 00:49

Probably because they want 1 mix team and 1 from some countrys to get higher viewers

2020-10-12 00:56

ForZe? Not Spirit?

2020-10-12 01:16

Spirit participates in esl pro league therefore they cant get to flashpoint

2020-10-12 05:04

Ofc they can play here aswell, GODSENT and AGO also played pro league. Spirit might be a direct invite.

2020-10-12 10:04

2020-10-12 13:18

Godsent, north, heretics, havu- I hope these ones can make it

2020-10-12 02:10

How they can make it if there's only 2 teams qualing :D

2020-10-12 08:16

I know dipshit just want 2 of these 4

2020-10-12 17:41

$1million prize pool for tier 2 teams LUL

2020-10-12 03:18

yep, really strange, they can earn more, than tier 1 teams. Can't believe whats going on here.

2020-10-12 08:59

CSGO is so dead

What's the point of inviting teams that failed in both qualifiers? They could just have invited them 1st and some other team could've tried their luck in the qualifiers. This way they just wasted a spot.

2020-10-12 09:50

HAVU with jamppi will 16-0 all teams

2020-10-12 10:09

so havu finished 3rd in season 1 but they have to qualify for season 2? =D

2020-10-12 10:14

anyone know official Flashpoint match's schedule site?

2020-10-12 10:45

GREAT TEAMS I LOVE IT

2020-10-12 11:11

This must be the tier 1 teams thorin tweeted about.

2020-10-12 13:07

nice teams

2020-10-12 13:41

Of course that sAw is in the same group as AVEZ. It's always the same shit. Whatever tournament sAw participate in, they always have to play against AVEZ. Every Single Fucking Time They even played against AVEZ in the closed qualifier.

2020-10-12 13:47

th0rin = shity event
