One of the remaining two placements comes from the returning champions, Team Secret, who would have failed to qualify otherwise, finishing dead last in the Europe MENA League (EML) with an abysmal 1-0-0-8 record in Stage 1 for the new-look TS roster.
The remaining spot went to Al-Ula Club, who qualified via the Saudi eLeague MENA Road to EWC competition, easily progressing through the qualifier without dropping a single map.
