For the first time in BLAST Pro Series history, a team will qualify for the main tournament. In a collaboration with LVP and Komodo, the teams have been found. Movistar Riders placed 1st in the first split of the regular competition, putting them directly in the Play-In Final of BLAST Pro Series Madrid 19. Vodafone Giants fought their way through to the other spot in the qualifier final.

In Madrid Arena on May 10, the two local teams will play each other in a best of three match in front of a live audience. The winning team will play in the main tournament against Astralis, ENCE, NiP, Cloud9, and NAVI. This brings in an entirely new excitement factor for the audience, who are guaranteed to see a local team play in the tournament.
