Eight teams have been directly invited into this tournament including Team Secret, Ninja In Pyjamas, OG, Chaos Esports Club, Fnatic, Alliance, Team Aster and Forward Gaming.

Gambit Esports fought their way through the Europe Qualifier while Complexity Gaming triumphed in the North America Qualifier.

For The Team, the runner-up in the China Region, replaces EHOME in this tournament due to a schedule conflict with the MDL Macau 2019.

The last participant is Mineski from the Southeast Asia region, replacing TNC Predator, who withdrew due to a scheduling conflict.
