To Qualify In-Game:

  • Compete in the Champions I League during the in-game Clan War Leagues seasons between February through July (will be played on the 1st-11th of each month).
  • Every month, the top Clans will be selected from the group winners of each Champions I league.
  • The top Champions I Clans will be selected based on their Total Stars (Attack Stars + Win Bonus Stars). In case of a tie, the tiebreaker will be determined by Destruction percentage (%).
  • Each month the top 4 eligible Clans from Champions I will be invited to battle in the 5v5 Offline Qualifier in Katowice, Poland.
  • Each of the qualifying Clans will be confirmed by Supercell at the conclusion of each season. The top 4 Clans will have a priority slot for that month's Offline Qualifier. If a Clan declines the spot or cannot attend the qualifier, the spot will be offered to the next highest ranking Clan.
  • The qualifying Clan's Leader will be contacted by Supercell via the in-game inbox. The Clan Leader has 24 hours to confirm their participation in that month's Offline Qualifier. If the Clan Leader fails to respond in time or if their Clan isn't available to attend the Offline Qualifier in Katowice, Poland, the spot will be offered to the next ranking Clan.
  • The Clan's Leader is responsible for designating which 5 members from their War League roster will represent their Clan in the Offline Qualifier.

ESL Play pre-qualifier:

  • First, register to compete on the ESL Clash of Clans Championship website: https://play.eslgaming.com/clashofclans/global
  • Each pre-qualifier will take place on the weekend following each month's in-game qualifier, between February and July.
  • The top 4 winning teams will advance to the monthly Katowice, Poland Offline Qualifier.
  • ESL Play Pre-Qualifier format:
    • 5v5 Town Hall 13 Friendly Wars
    • 15-minute preparation, 1-hour War
    • Single elimination, Best of One (winners advance after one played match in each round)
