ESEA has announced the eight teams that will continue in ESEA Invite for Season 14, the three new additions and seven teams for a last chance fan vote.

A total of eight teams from Season 13 will get to continue in ESEA Invite's Season 14, those being NiP, VeryGames, ESC, n!faculty, Virtus.pro, fnatic, Western Wolves and Curse.fi.

Four teams getting demoted after the inaugural season are bottom finishers ASES and mousesports, as well as fm.TOXiC and Absolute Legends, neither of whom field a complete roster currently.

ESEA Invite Season 14 Europe:

NiP	VeryGames	ESC	n!faculty
Virtus.pro	Western Wolves	fnatic	Hawks
Epsilon	Natus Vincere	Anexis	TBD (Vote)

Epsilon, Natus Vincere and Anexis have all accepted invitations to participate in ESEA Invite Season 14, bringing the team list to eleven teams, with the final spot determined through a fan vote.

The vote will run on ESEA's website, where anyone with a Premium account can vote, from Friday 00:00 until Sunday 00:00 with the winner of the following teams getting in:

mousesports	k1ck	LDLC.com	ALTERNATE
POPPERS	iNation	Temp.no

Teams who do not win the vote will have an option of participating in ESEA Intermediate in the coming season. Registration for ESEA Season 14 is open here until Tuesday, May 7th at 01:00 .

ination or kick will win the vote :)

they probably have the strongest fanbases, but you need premium to vote. not sure if their fanbases have the most premiums

hm, true that

2013-04-27 00:21

shaaaame for iNation :((

What was the point in poppers winning the open season playoffs if it goes down to a vote anyway? Or have I missed something?

they win $900 and get a chance to be in the vote, otherwise they wouldn't even get a chance. if we considered them to be one of the strongest teams outside of invite (which we don't), they would have gotten directly in instead of na`vi, epsilon or anexis. invite is, as suggested by its name, invitational.

Unlucky poppers

2013-04-27 02:08

haha, well said but true.

2013-04-27 01:07

if you didn't require premium it would be exactly like e-stars - whoever cheats the most, wins. now that's a stupid idea.

2013-04-27 18:22

i havent any info about e-stars vote :) yep maybe is that good but i think everybody will prefer facebook vote :) do you think anybody will create so much fb profiles to vote for his team? xD

2013-04-27 21:55

esea wants to cater to their customers, and not everyone still has a facebook. a vote on their site makes more sense. (re: estars emulate fans cheated the frenchies to e-stars 2008, my friend even proved to e-stars admins how they cheated because we would have gotten to go otherwise but the admins didn't care to emulate got a free trip to seoul, played one map and lost it ^^)

2013-04-27 22:18

k1ck will not win. Most of portugueses dont have premium account.

2013-04-27 05:08

I don't think it would matter ^^. The goal is to vote for the team with best results and best potential, not voting for a team from your own country.

2013-04-27 10:15

I know that. But you know, we are a small country with only k1ck, i'm sure 99% of portugueses would vote for k1ck if they can. Its like 100% of polish guys voting for ESC :D

2013-04-27 11:13

Wow this is a great line-up of teams that deserve to be in Invite unlike last season :D. Can't wait to see some of these matches!

2013-04-27 01:34

Hope that vp will attend this time

2013-04-27 00:22

Europe strong.

Gonna vote for LDLC.

2013-04-27 00:23

iNation

2013-04-27 00:28

Temp.no! to bad they aint even listed in the vote with their tag, just xxxx amazing!

2013-04-27 00:36

they didn't change their team name on the website; once they do, they will be listed as Temp.no.

2013-04-27 00:57

...times when mousesports and alternate were top10 in CS1.6.. now top100, even they couldnt take invite

I think mousesports deserve a second chance they're much stronger now as they showed on LAN

they dont even have a fifth player lol

2013-04-27 00:45

Ah dang I forgot about stavros leaving again

2013-04-27 00:52

LDLC DESERVED IT FAR MORE they are still together beating vg etc online and making very close match on lan when they attend and they are still together VOTE LDLC

2013-04-27 01:58

2013-04-27 07:44

I hope people vote for Temp. They impressed all with their performance at Copenhagen Games. Just to mention this as well; Temp is the only team without any sort of sponsors (at this list of teams). They simply pay everything by themselves.

iNation too!

2013-04-27 02:47

LDLC !!

2013-04-27 00:31

go iN!

2013-04-27 00:32

You have selected an invalid option. i get this ^^ When im trying to vote :/

2013-04-27 00:33

try a different browser and make sure you are logged in. Try hitting control + f5 and trying to vote again.

2013-04-27 00:37

It's a bug and we are working to fix it.

2013-04-27 01:09

edit: new poll available: news.esea.net/index.php?s=poll&d=comment..

2013-04-27 00:35

mouz

2013-04-27 00:40

They juste had a roster change. Imo ldlc / kick

And alternate

yeah fair point, kick for me then.

aL > ESEA

My guess is either iNation, ALTERNATE or maybe k1ck

2013-04-27 00:48

ldlc are the strongest on that list i'd say

2013-04-27 00:51

For the history...mousesports.

2013-04-27 00:56

"You have selected an invalid option." Is there only 1 team you can vote for? :D

2013-04-27 00:58

It's a bug and we are working to fix it, don't change your vote because of it.

2013-04-27 01:10

It should be fixed now, reply/message me if you are still getting it.

2013-04-27 05:12

not fixed yet

2013-04-27 13:07

iNation/Temp.no

2013-04-27 01:05

ldlc deserve the spot

2013-04-27 01:06

Tbh had been really fun to see what temp could do with prb on the team!

2013-04-27 01:23

LDLC and temp.no deserve the spot :P but wouldnt be more fair to decide by throwing an online qual?

2013-04-27 01:38

iNation!

2013-04-27 01:48

iNation! our Balkan rocker's :D

2013-04-27 01:53

temp.no deserves it the most imo, but they probably won't get nearly as many votes needed. too many clueless people or fans of contestant teams.

2013-04-27 01:59

You are spot on. I also think temp.no deserves this spot, but I see no way they can get enough votes :(

2013-04-27 09:17

k1ck

2013-04-27 02:03

why does n!faculty is getting another slot? They just made official they gonna change lineups

2013-04-27 02:27

and? they haven't proved nothing, we can't continue giving theam a chance every fucking time.

2013-04-27 02:41

read again, thats why im asking

2013-04-27 02:42

oh didn't notice that they were there, sorry xD IMO, most of the "to-vote" teams are better than them.

2013-04-27 02:43

since the majority of the premium members on esea are american gonna say mousesports win by a large margin.

2013-04-27 02:45

LDLC could be a surprise package

mousesports will get it pff

nvm

2013-04-27 03:17

virtus pro?

2013-04-27 03:20

are invited.

2013-04-27 03:49

I have a lot of faith in k1ck and LDLC.com. They should eliminate the bottom 3 teams in the poll by fan vote and have a qualifier.

2013-04-27 03:46

LDLC, no doubt !

2013-04-27 03:48

K1CK!

2013-04-27 04:58

LdLC +1

2013-04-27 05:17

Fucking vote for POPPERS we deserve it!!!!!!! We won the open!!!

2013-04-27 06:08

Ldlc/ Ination/ Temp no.

2013-04-27 06:09

Mouse deserved...for sure

2013-04-27 07:56

Poppers or ination but i don't know who to vote... Btw gl Epsilon <3

2013-04-27 08:26

LDLC!!!

2013-04-27 09:44

Temp.no

2013-04-27 10:17

LDLC is a strong team, I have yet to see their potential right now, it's been a while we haven't seen them at international level, but they seem definitely the strongest team amont the teams out there. My vote goes to LDLC.
