During the qualifying tournament Eternal Fire defeated Looking4Org and ECLOT, and ORKS defeated ex-DomiNation, Bad News Eagles and SAW.
Some teams received direct invitations to ESL Pro League Season 18, as they are partners of the league. Other teams were selected through regional qualifications and events from tournament operator ESL.
