KPI and Giants join ESL Clash of Nations team list

ESL's Clash of Nations, which will pit winners from last season's national championships as well as the second and third-ranked teams in this season's ESL Masters Spain, is set to take place on October 27-28.

The tournament will take place at the IFEMA fairgrounds in Madrid, Spain, during the Madrid Gaming Experience, on October 27-28, and the prize pool is yet to be revealed by the organizer.

Clash of Nations will feature six national championship winners from Spain, France*, Southeast Europe, Germany, Poland, and the United Kingdom*. Closing out the team list will be the second and third-placed teams in this season’s ESL Masters Spain.

Kinguin will represent Poland at ESL's Clash of Nations

The group stage will be played using the Swiss system, with best-of-one matches, which will lead to a best-of-three single elimination playoff bracket. The prize pool for the event is yet to be disclosed.

The two spots going to the two leading teams in Spain—with the exception of Movistar Riders who are already qualified and leading this season of ESL Masters—went to KPI, who qualified last week, and to Giants, who beat G2V 16-14 in this week’s fixture to clinch a spot at the LAN in Madrid.

The teams attending are, therefore:

Movistar Riders	ex-Outlaws
EnVyUs Academy*	PANTHERS
Endpoint*	Kinguin
KPI	Giants

* Clash of Nations and Gfinity Pro Series have conflicting schedules and neither the organizations nor tournament organizers have commeted on the matter yet
