The following teams will be competing for a part of the prize pool of $237,500:
North America
eXcellence Gaming
GurmyWormy and his mates fell short in Season One, one step away from the playoff. However, in Season two, under the yellow color of eXcellence Gaming, they managed to pull it off in an amazing way. With only one map dropped during the entire season, GurmyWormy, Mahman, Geo, Bryan, & FoxA won their ticket to Gamescom and will represent North America as the 1st seed.
Vertical Gaming
Vertical Gaming are not new to the LAN scene as all their players already faced Europe & Latin America both in Year One, Six Invitational and Year Two. KingGeorge, Avian, Slashug, Yung and Ecl9pse will have to rebuild the pride of North America by taking over BRK esports in the quarterfinals.
Elevate
Elevate was the top team in the world back in 2017 when they were playing on Xbox. After their transition on PC they showed that they still belong in the top. After securing a spot in the Finals in Season 1 they reproduced their masterstroke by taking down no less than FlipSid3 Tactics.
SkyS, LaxinG, Shuttle, England and Chapstick will fly to Germany as the 3rd seed of NA and try to break ENCE in the first round.
Latin America
Team Fontt
The former Dexterity Team failed to qualify to the LAN Finals in Season One but Gohan, Cameraman, Astro, Muringa & Mav showed that this was a onetime mistake. Not even one map dropped during the full season and Team Fontt will be on stage, defending the Brazilian colors against Millenium.
BRK e-Sports
BRK managed to reach Season One Finals under the name of Black Dragons and after changing organization they were pretty dominant all over the season; only falling against Team Fontt.
Zigueira and Nesk will have to get all the support from their mates; and with Yuuk, Julio and oNe try to take Vertical Gaming to move forward in the Pro League Finals and may be get a rematch against PENTA Sports.

PENTA Sports
The current holder of the Pro League Title managed to break the curse of year one and requalify to the Finals.
