Blast has published more details about the qualifying tournaments for Austin Major, confirming that all regional qualifiers (MRQS) will be organized online in Europe, Asia and the Americas.

It is expected that from April 14-17, the MRQ will have 16 teams participating in Europe and the Americas, while Asia will have 12 teams. Because these tournaments are held online, the Americas and Asia will be divided into sub -areas to avoid ping too big.

The remaining teams will have to play through MrQs to win 16 in Stage 1, in which:

Europe and America will have 6 each region.
