Qualification phase

There are six online qualification seasons for FIWC14. Each season, the top two players on the Leaderboard will qualify for the Grand Final.

The host nation champion will be decided at a live qualification event held prior to the 2014 Grand Final!

All matches for the FIWC14 online qualification seasons will be played over the PlayStation® network.
