The long anticipated and prestigious tournament which takes place in the Hilton Hotel will count 48 slots of teams of which 16 will filled by invites. The remaining slots will be filled by following the "first come, first serve" rule.

The prizepurse of the entire tournament is announced to be €30.000, though no exact prizes have been announced for any tournament taking place on the festival.

This years tournament is surely going to be an exciting one as all the teams who have been invited to the tournament, have been around since the early stages of CoD4, and are as well considered as the true top. Bare in mind that the invites have nothing to do with a seeding which might be used at the AEF, in fact they do only give you some extra time to pay and register for the tournament.

The invites for the AEF look as following:
SK GAMING

Komacrew (former DCC)
Fnatic
EG
LowLandLions
TEK9 Networks
Team Dignitas
MYM
Reason
4kings
H2K
Team Pandemic
neXus
