How the participants for the remaining two places will be selected will be announced at a later date.
Teams from Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway will take part in the Northern European selection phase, which will take place at the beginning of May. These will be four invited competitors, including ENCE and North, as well as the winners of the national level qualifiers. According to a similar scheme will be formed and the composition of the stage, which will be held in Moscow on May 28-31. Five of the eight spots will be filled by invited entrants.
