MLG Vegas has expanded its participant eligibility to include international teams, marking a significant change from its initial North America-only format. The event, scheduled for December 16-18 in Las Vegas, Nevada, will feature the largest open bracket to date with approximately 160 teams.

Four prominent European teams have confirmed their attendance:

  • Epsilon
  • Orbit
  • Infused
  • Splyce

All international teams will begin in the open bracket, while top North American teams will start in group play. This reverses Activision's previous stance, where European teams were initially told the event was region-locked.
