There was also separate work on player recruitment \u2014 reaching out to coaches, teams, and individual players. An important nuance: the qualifier’s timing overlapped with preparations for EWC and VRS tournaments, which limited the participation of a number of top players.

“Preparing for the qualifier required active coordination with the ENC organizers \u2014 aligning streaming rules, and expanding the number of participants. Some issues were being resolved literally on the day of the qualifier, even though communication with the organizers had started a month and a half before the start date. There was also separate work on player recruitment \u2014 reaching out to coaches, teams, and individual players. An important nuance: the qualifier’s timing overlapped with preparations for EWC and VRS tournaments, which limited the participation of a number of top players. Despite this, the field of participants turned out to be genuinely strong \u2014 fnatic with LAN experience, Lazer Cats, B8 Academy, and other competitive stacks.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
