The tournament's finals will serve as a qualifier for BLAST Premier Spring Showdown.
Fantasyexpo EU Champions Spring will take place on March 25-27 with a spot at BLAST Premier Spring Showdown up for grabs. Before the final tournament gets underway, however, a series of regional qualifiers and regional finals will take place.
The event is aimed at teams from Poland, France, Italy, Great Britain and Ireland as well as the DACH and Benelux regions.
The event will start with open qualifiers in different regions, after which the top teams will then move on to their regional finals, where the likes of fnatic, Sprout and ENCE have been invited.
The top teams from the regional finals will then move on to the final eight at Fantasyexpo EU Champions Spring, where they will finally fight directly for a spot at BLAST Premier Spring Showdown.
The eight spots in Fantasyexpo EU Champions Spring will go to two teams from the Polish finals, two from Europe West, and one each from Benelux, DACH, France and UK and Ireland.
Two of the qualifiers have been outsourced as the Polish Esports League acquired the rights to the Polish qualifier while Team META will be responsible for the competition in the Benelux region. Fantasyexpo will run the rest of the qualifiers in cooperation with broadcasters from different regions.
