ESL One Kuala Lumpur: Open Qualifiers and Closed Qualifiers

The ongoing ESL One Kuala Lumpur Qualifiers is looking mega spicy. The upcoming $1 million tournament will host twelve teams in the heart of Malaysia this December. While four of them will be invited teams, the rest will be those who make it through the ESL One Kuala Lumpur Qualifiers.

While some are familiar teams with familiar faces, we also see a wave of new rosters joining the fray! Some of them include the new rosters for OG, Nouns, the now-South American BOOM Esports, and many more.

You can watch the live broadcast of ESL One Kuala Lumpur Closed Qualifiers on ESL's Twitch channels. Some Dota 2 streamers also broadcast the qualifier games, the biggest channel being Gorgc.
