OpTic Gaming and XSET claimed the two North America slots decided by Circuit Points. Third through tenth place earn a spot in the NA LCQ, where the winner claims the last seed for North America at Champions Istanbul 2022.


Bracket Matchups

The opening matchup for the NA LCQ will feature The Guard (#1) against Sentinels (#8) on August 4, followed by FaZe (#2) against Evil Geniuses (#7). Previously, The Guard 2-0’ed Sentinels in the Stage 1 Challengers Playoffs, with the stakes raised for the rematch. The Guard have only won one game since Stage 2, making their return game a very important series. For Sentinels, they have recruited both Jordan “Zellsis” Montemurro from Version 1 and Michael “shroud” Grzesiek. August 5 then has Shopify Rebellion (#4) against Cloud9 (#5) and NRG (#3) versus 100 Thieves (#6).  The North America LCQ Bracket is double elimination, allowing for teams to lose one series without being eliminated. The tournament will run from August 4 to August 14, with the only prize going to first place: a spot at Champions 2022 Istanbul.
