Open qualifiers will be held for ESL One New York 2015, the tournament organizers revealed. There will be open qualifiers for the European, South East Asian and American regions. Both the EU and SEA qualifiers will kick off on August 22, just four days from now. Details on the US qualifier have yet to be finalized. All games will be Best of 1, but in the SEA qualifier, games will best Best of 3 starting from the Round of 16. The same will happen in the EU qualifier, but starting from the Round of 8. Three main qualifier slots will be up for grabs for the EU open qualifier, while four slots will be given during the SEA open qualifier. With the post-International shuffle in full swing, the open qualifiers allows brand new teams to prove their mettle. This also opens the possibilities for teams that have simply flown under the radar. Wings Gaming competed in The International 5's Chinese qualifier after they won the open qualifier. They were the open qualifier team that performed the best, making it to the playoffs, but fell short of the Main Event.
