ESEA Invite S16 finalists determined

The two months long regular season of ESEA Invite has finished in both Europe and North America and the finalists have been determined.

Eight teams are expected to take part at ESEA Invite Season 16 Global Finals at the end of June in Dallas, TX. Each region gets four slots from the online regular season.

Though previous seasons have seen most Europeans decline traveling overseas, the adjusted prize distribution for the current season should have that all cleared so everyone can go.

Ninjas in Pyjamas finished on top of the standing with a 12-4 record, closely followed by Virtus.pro and dignitas at 10-6. However, dignitas won't be able to attend due to their recent roster change.


Most of the world's best return to Dallas in late June 

Similarly, Clan-Mystik can only attend if they wish to use Mathieu "MaT" Leber as their fifth player, as former Titan star Richard "shox" Papillon was not added on the roster in time.

Titan were also forced to forfeit the remainder of their season after a strong start. Former LGB receive a slot, and so do Na`Vi, assuming CM stays home and the SLTV champions receive visas.

In North America iBUYPOWER reigned supreme with a 13-3 record. Mediocre Gamers and Netcode Guides also make it to the finals, and the last team to sneak in is compLexity, with a 8-8 record.

ESEA Invite Season 16 Global Finals will take place on June 27-29 in Dallas, TX at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel. You can find more information about the playoffs here.

The only real issue with it is that teams are required to maintain the roster for a few months after the season concludes, which isn't always feasible for a single event. But on the other side of that, setting up a LAN like this requires time on their part. There's no real middle ground, though I do believe there should be some kind of case-by-case basis for these kinds of things.
