Over the weekend of November 1st and 2nd, the FC Pro Open Global Qualifier will be held at DreamHack Atlanta. With 64 players competing for their place in the FC Pro Open Group Stage - the first major silverware on offer in this FC Pro season.

But before the Global Qualifier starts, a huge 256 player Last Chance Qualifier will be taking place, with only four making it through to the GQ.

Those four will join 12 other players who have already qualified, thanks to their performances throughout last season’s FC Pro.

The remaining 48 challengers come from the Regional Qualifiers. After strong showings in the FC Pro Open Ladder, they have earned their opportunity to compete at the Global Qualifier.

The tournament will be broken down into two stages:

• Swiss Stage: Taking place on November 1st. Where the top 32 advance.

• Knockout Stage: A double elimination bracket, four brackets of eight players, being played on November 2nd. The Top 4 of each bracket will qualify for the FC Pro Open.

Once the competition has concluded, we will know the 16 Pros heading to the FC Pro Open, joining the eight already qualified players in the player pool:

Vejrgang, 2025 Champion
