Renegades Banditos, ManaLight, TCA eSports and MnM Gaming have all qualified for the League of Legends ESL UK Premiership Season 3.
They will join the top four from last season – Team Infused, FM-eSports, Choke Gaming and Exertus Esports – to form the eight teams competing this season.
During the promotions tournament this weekend, ManaLight, Banditos, NUEL Titans and GLB Blue won the first best-of-one matches on Saturday.
MnM and TCA won their losers bracket matches to knock out exceL and Paria respectively.
On Sunday, Renegades beat NUEL 2-0 and ManaLight beat GLB 2-0, to qualify both Renegades and ManaLight.
MnM then beat GLB 1-0 while TCA beat NUEL 1-0. This meant that both GLB and NUEL failed to qualify at the last hurdle.
The ESL UK Premiership now gets underway later this week, with the full match schedule expected to be revealed by ESL on Monday (February 15th).
