But if you want to watch the qualifier games on a livestreaming platform, you can opt to watch community casters and streamers. A few notable channels that are streaming qualifier games include, Aui_2000, Bkop, Gorgc, ODPixel, and Jenkins.
Some of the participants themselves (especially streamers) are also streaming their own matches. For instance, you can go to Qojqva’s Twitch channel where he streams his matches with Arkosh Gaming in NA DPC OQ.
Following the respective regional hosts, you can find the tournament participants and brackets on different platforms. PGL uses FACEIT, meanwhile, Epulze will have the information on its site.
