The slot distribution is based on ESL's new EPT Ranking System: We’ve built an Elo-based ranking system for both teams and regions, with a baseline of one secured slot per region. Regions with higher Elo scores can earn additional slots The Elo-based ranking system has its own caveats though: All EFG events will ensure that there is a minimum of one team per region at each event. Additional teams will be added per region by measuring the strength of each region in any previous events that included multiple regions. To measure the strength of each region, ESL may even omit prestigious events from the ranking process, like the ESL One Stockholm Major, which did not have the Chinese teams in attendance. That's not it. There's more: For EFG competitions with more than 13 participants, a second slot will be assigned to each region as long as a team from the region has reached at least the Top 12 in one of the last two pertinent competitions — if any region has failed to do so, they will only receive one guaranteed slot. Ultimately, the order of the teams will be decided by ESL's results-based ranking system.
