The pair will be the two North American representatives at the $123,000 tournament taking place on November 25-27 in Sweden.

CLG Red and EG Gold have earned their spots at the ESL Impact League Season 2 Finals after dispatching of Please Send Bocks and Valkyries fe, respectively, in the North American online stage.

CLG Red went into Season 2 with a revamped lineup from last season's campaign, where the organization ultimately placed 3-4th, with only Mounira "⁠GooseBreeder⁠" Dobie and Kelsie "⁠uhKelsie⁠" Click being the holdovers. CLG Red outclassed the competition in the regional online stage, not losing a single map across five series in the group stage and only conceding six rounds in the deciding match against Please Send Bocks.

Jessica "⁠jesscas⁠" Ngo, Kiki "⁠PiggyKiki⁠" Long, and Anna "⁠garden⁠" Gutierrez will be making their second appearances at the LAN event having participated at the ESL Impact Season 1 Finals as members of Please Send Help, while Lucy "⁠empathy⁠" Verkaik and Kiara "⁠m1lky⁠" Makua will be competing for the ESL Impact crown for the first time.
