The past week has been chocked full of intense competition as Europe's best League Of Legends team's have been battling it out to earn their spot at the grand finals of MSI NVIDIA Trophy. A number of teams qualified through alternative factors; however, many of Europe's top teams still needed to qualify for the grand finals, which will take place at Gamers Assembly in France at the beginning of April. Four qualifiers was just the ticket those teams needed - and one week later, we have six new teams qualified for the grand finals.

That leaves us with one more qualifier to go. Teams will have to step up their game if they want to earn one of the last two spots earning them a seat at Gamers Assembly in April.
Yesterday marked the conclusion of Qualifier #3 where we saw the likes of Moscow 5, Millenium, TCM and many more struggling to get a top-two finish. There was one team in particular that caught us off guard, which was "Teamless". Relatively unknown to the professional eSports scene, Teamless, tore through the competition beating favorites, TCM and Moscow 5 in order to make it to the grand finals where they took down Millenium 2-1. That leaves Teamless with an extra $500, their registration fees paid and of course a spot at the grand finals in April.
Following them to the grand finals is obviously Millenium who took second place this qualifier. The full bracket can be seen here.
