| Notes | |||
| * MLG and The Coalition have reviewed the top European teams by Gears Pro Points for the Launch Invitational, and are unfortunately unable to qualify a top European team following investigations into account recovering by both the top ranked teams, and recently submitted rosters. In order to ensure a full team is attending the Launch Invitational, prepared for the highest level of competition, and has adequate time for travel preparation, MLG and the Coalition have qualified Enigma6 from the USA in their stead, as they are the next top ranked team according to Gears Pro Points. | |||
- 1 OpTic Gaming acquired Enemy's roster.
- 2 Praized is banned from participating, and will be replaced by SoLuRs.
- 3 eUnited acquired Dream Team's roster.
- 4 Revenge acquired Team eLevate's roster.
