As the Open Qualifiers for both B-Site and Rio Major were clashing with each other, Duncan “Thorin” Shields via a Tweet had said that “We are changing the dates (for B-Site) and everyone will be informed ASAP.” and as promised the rescheduling has been done, here are the changes.

The 1^st and 4^th Open Qualifier across all the three regions have been rescheduled for B-Site. While the first one now starts a day later, the fourth one will be ending a day earlier. Due to these changes, the 2^nd and 4^th Major Qualifiers for EU and NA do not clash with the schedule any longer.

However as the dates for the 2^nd and 3^rd Open Qualifier for B-Site haven’t been changed, the two will still be clashing with the 3^rd Major qualifier for EU and NA. But B-Site “will welcome all teams who are eliminated on the first day of the ESL tournament.” according to a statement given by the tournament organizer to HLTV.

The South American qualifiers for the Major were always in the clear, but just to keep its own qualifiers aligned B-Site has extended the change to that region as well. Also, the Asian and CIS region will not be facing any difficulties as these regions have not been covered by B-site.
