Of the 10 teams who qualified via circuit points, a large majority were confirmed when they reached Masters Copenhagen via each regional circuit. This was the case for North America, Brazil, Korea and Asia-Pacific. The teams at the top of the standings in EMEA, Japan and LATAM still had their fates on the line.
