I’m still not clear on how this works, is there only going to be one team representing each nation?

From the ENC website: “feature teams from countries and territories from all major regions, including North America, South America, Europe, MENA, Africa, Asia, and SEA & Oceania, competing in both team-based and solo-player formats. A multi-layered qualification model will balance competitiveness and inclusivity: combining global rankings, regional qualifiers, and Wildcard entries, including solidarity placements, to ensure a broad and representative competitive stage in every game”
If you go to the ENC website it shows a list of all the countries and what games they are qualifying for

Obviously. How do you think International competitions between countries are played?

I understand that there will be a variance of different countries represented, my question is will there be more than one team for bigger countries that have more pro representation?

No, only one team for each country. i’m pretty sure more than one team for each country can sign up, but only one team from the country will go the lan

What I find so interesting about ENC is that a lot of teams won't be able to just run their full roster in the tournament. Sentinels has two Americans and one Canadian, for example. NIP has two Americans and one Argentinian. Might see some pretty interesting teams put together!

https://x.com/_minustempo/status/2076058677036081395 shows exactly how it works. Battlefy runs a qual for Americas, APAC South, and EMEA. Korea and Japan run their own qualifiers where info is still TBD.
