Team Liquid and eLevate have qualified for the FACEIT Finals after finishing in the top two places in the North American division.

There was no shortage of surprises in the North American FACEIT League division as neither Cloud9 nor CLG - the two teams that made it to ESL One Katowice - were able to break into the top two.

eLevate have confirmed that their victory in the Alienware Area 51 Cup last month was no fluke as they topped the league table on 24 points, the same as Team Liquid, with the head-to-head advantage going to Tyler "⁠Storm⁠" Wood's side.

These results could be used as evidence that Liquid made the right move to replace Keith "⁠NAF⁠" Markovic with Jonathan "⁠EliGE⁠" Jablonowski following a series of mixed results in domestic and foreign tournaments. Despite losing one of their key players, eLevate quickly found a replacement in the shape of Derek "⁠desi⁠" Branchen and have so far managed to stay on track.

The list of participants for the FACEIT League finals currently looks as follows:
