A direct pathway for Official Tournament Organizers - from national federations to cyber cafe networks - to host Satellite Last Chance Qualifiers (LCQ) and advance players to the EWC onsite LCQ stage.

This is your chance to build a qualification pathway from local competition on the ROAD TO EWC 2027 . Your onsite Last Chance Qualifier entry is covered by EWC from next year, while you can monetize your Satellite LCQ under official EWC branding and bring in your own sponsors.
For Year one, EWC will also cover accommodation for your qualified winners and support with their visas, helping reduce the logistical burden.
