Do these names look familiar? Well, as a matter of fact, this is the first Offline Qualifier ever where all the progressing players have all featured in the Main Event of the BOV ePremier League in prior seasons.

It seems that in the offline environment, when the lights went down, the rookies failed to maintain composure and try rattle these veterans.

From this list of competitors, there are a number of heavy hitters returning from last season, exemplified by the following: 

  • Tubbi - 4th place - Hamrun Spartans 
  • Klawka - 5-8th place - Tarxien Rainbows

  • Mizu - 5-8th place - Floriana FC
  • Vli - 5-8th place - Valletta FC
  • Haller10 - 13th place - Gudja United 

In this context, this Main Event will offer the unique opportunity for last season's veterans to compete against other veterans - should make for some incredible competition. 

However, we'd like to note that although the veterans walked away with the 11 seeds, the rookies performed very well and managed to take matches the distance.

A special mention goes to "Peqqi" for exhibiting true sportsmanship, which is uncommon these days in such a tense environment.

Thanks to this experience, we're sure the rookies will come back swinging at the next opportunity!
