LDLC and Titan have qualified for SLTV StarSeries IX Finals, to be held on October 18-19 in Kiev, following wins over NiP in the relegation rounds.

After Epsilon and Natus Vincere qualified for the Finals by topping their respective groups in the regular season, the next four teams in each group were placed in a relegation round.

Places two and three were put in the upper bracket, as opposed to the next two finishers. LDLC were first to qualify, as they topped Copenhagen Wolves and NiP in the upper bracket.
