FlipSid3 Tactics have become the first team to qualify for the CCS Kick-off Season following a 3-1 victory over HellRaisers.

A total of eight teams from across Europe duked it out in the first of two closed CCS qualifiers with hopes of booking their place in the $110,000 league, hosted by PGL.

FlipSid3 Tactics were the first team to reach the grand final after fending off the threats of German duo Team Caseking and mousesports, both by 2-0 scorelines.

From the other side of the bracket came HellRaisers, who beat Space Soldiers 2-0 before edging past Gamers2 in a three-map thriller to set up an exciting final between two CIS sides.
