The second stage qualifier for IEM6 Global Challenge Kiev has finished and we now have all the 32 teams that will compete in the final qualifier for five spots at the event.
Majority of the qualifeir was already finished on November 20 but due to Moscow Five making it to the grand finals of MSI Beat It Russia, their deciding match against KerchNET had to be delayed.
As of right now we're not sure if the match will happen at all due to one of the Ukrainians being ill. According to ESL the match is likely to be played either on Saturday or M5 will receive a forfeit win.
Unfortunately the qualifier once again featured its own share of forfeits due to missing premiums and problems with ESL's Wire anti-cheat, but in the end all favorites made their way through.
