No2B and Bragantino have booked places in ESL Latin America League Season 2 after finishing top two in the qualifier.

A total of 22 teams took part in the qualifier, which featured a single-elimination bracket, with the initial matches being BO1, while the remaining were BO3's, for the chance to earn a spot in the main league.

The last-four stage saw nEEts ock horns with No2B, with Cache being the first map of the series. Matheus "⁠pesadelo⁠" Panisset & co. were in control for most of the game, but then Wesley "⁠GW⁠" Vinicius's troops recovered from a 9-14 deficit to force overtime, in which nEEts sailed through to claim the 19-16 map victory.

The series then moved to Inferno, a map that turned out to be one sided as No2B ran out 16-8 victors - a result that shifted the momentum in their favour before Dust2, where they would claim a convincing 16-6 victory following an inspired performance from Matheus "⁠Tuurtle⁠" Anhaia, who put in a 1.82 rating.

On the other side of the bracket, Bulldozer and Bragantino clashed on Overpass, where Rodrigo "⁠drg⁠" Ausenka and his men dominated the first half as Terrorists before eventually cleaning things up in the second half as CTs for a 16-8 series success.

Cache saw Bragantino's offense on fire at the start, but Lucas "⁠luk⁠" Soares & co. swiftly doused the fire to secure an 8-7 score at halftime. The second half saw the two sides trade rounds until the 14-14 tie was eventually snapped by Bragantino, who would go on to secure the map, 16-14, to book the final spot in the league.
