TDK, M80, ShindeN qualify for ESL Pro League S24 in Katowice

TDK, M80 and ShindeN qualified for ESL Pro League Season 24 in Katowice, Poland, after winning regional finals of ESL Challenger League Season 51 in Europe, North America and South America. They join TYLOO among confirmed qualifiers for the $1,000,000 LAN event scheduled for Oct. 3–11. Organizers will confirm 12 invited teams through the global VRS on Aug. 3.

In the Europe final, TDK defeated Nemesis in a five-map series after trailing 2–1. The squad, led by Vladislav “nafany” Gorshkov, relied on Sergey “Ax1Le” Rykhtorov, who posted more than 100 average damage per round (ADR) combined across the final two maps. TDK formed its current lineup in February and had earlier results in tier-two online events. The win earns the club a spot at its first international LAN event.

In North America, M80 beat Voca 3–1 to clinch an EPL berth. M80 controlled Dust2 and faced stronger resistance on the remaining maps; Fritz “slaxz-” Dietrich delivered notable performances on Anubis and Mirage. The result qualifies M80 for the Katowice LAN.

ShindeN won the South America final over Imperial in a series where every map reached the full 24 rounds or went to overtime. Argentine player Matias “abizz” Muñiz Cusi provided consistent impact across those maps. The triumph secures ShindeN the organization’s first international LAN appearance.

The ESL Pro League Season 24 field will include 16 teams: regional qualifiers and teams invited via the VRS system. Challenger League qualification provides regional squads a route to the global event and a chance to compete on LAN against invited teams.

Organizers will announce the 12 invited teams on Aug. 3 and will publish final rosters and the event schedule ahead of the Oct. 3–11 tournament in Katowice.
