ESEA Invite S16 finalists determined

13-5-2014 14:14

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.

NiP	Virtus.pro	ex-LGB	Natus Vincere
iBUYPOWER	Mediocre Gamers	Netcode Guides	compLexity

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.

2014-05-13 14:34

esea rules do the league very very bad

ex-LGB go by the name #TEAMGLOBAL and we will attend the event with cash prize from Katowice.

2014-05-13 14:31

2014-05-13 14:39

2014-05-13 17:59

Mediocre to win

gogo navi, a new reign of terror has emerged hueheuhue

2014-05-13 14:51

NaVi win

2014-05-13 14:55

with last NaVi performance I dont think theres even 10% chance for 3rd place for MEDICANS (all hail Fez).

2014-05-13 15:03

go go Na´Vi :)

haha , na'vi will be raped. They will not ghosting.

2014-05-13 19:26

bad trolling ^^

2014-05-13 22:31

No titan No party ! No dignitas no funny ! No clan mystik no shoxie ! Thanks ESEA admins retards.

2014-05-13 15:09

Not retards, they mean teams can't mess about changing there roster all the time. Which I agree with.

2014-05-13 17:18

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.

2014-05-13 17:48

powerfull

hope to see all teams their

2014-05-13 15:12

Lets hope everyone can attend!

2014-05-13 15:13

No Titan, No Dig, No CM. Not wasting my time.

2014-05-13 15:17

2014-05-13 15:51

Navi no visas, ex-LGB no money. gg no re

great news! now we are waiting for the sad news! WHO GONNA ATTEND THIS?

2014-05-13 15:55

VP :3

2014-05-13 15:58

The whole point of gathering the best of the EU scene against the best of the US scene once again fails. ESEA really needs to rethink their rules, or to understand when exceptions have to be made.

2014-05-13 15:59

2014-05-14 02:03

We need ukranian casters at the event so Na'Vi have a small chance of winning :D

2014-05-13 16:33

2014-05-13 16:36

time for american teams to get btfo

2014-05-13 16:44

I don't think any 'murican teams will beat any Euro teams at the tournament.

2014-05-13 16:49

JUMAS to win the event, calling it already.

2014-05-13 17:09

I'm really curious about how can the new iBuypower handle their first lan against Eropean teams

2014-05-13 17:02

Dallas ? haha -seized

IBP > NCG in finals 2-1(bo3) 3-2(bo5) Murica making a comeback boysz

Wondering about visas

no europe teams will attend

2014-05-13 17:27

ex-LGB are confirmed ? I am not sure they can go on their own without a proper org .

inb4 only 1 european team going to dallas lol. If NiP are going then ez dank ez lyf.

american teams will ghosting, so >>>

2014-05-13 17:46

Looking forward to see Shroud facing european pro teams :)

2014-05-13 17:56

NiP and VP are already working on their visas and sure to attend.. don't know about the other 2 tho.. sounds like LGB will attend with cash from Katowice. That leaves NaVi.. ?

2014-05-13 18:01

Navi are definitely going to this tournament, they were waiting for it + they won starladder, which gives them a good motivation and $$. 90% that NaVi will be there.

2014-05-13 18:20

Swedes don't need a visa if they're stay is shorter than 90 days...

2014-05-18 14:23

Nip wins over iBP

2014-05-13 18:02

VP and Na'Vi to finals. o:

2014-05-13 18:19

Na'VI vs CompLexity/iBP Finals!

2014-05-13 18:27

NiP win, no more.

2014-05-13 18:38

So basically if you are a european team and you remembered to sign up for ESEA you get an invite to the fianls? Seems legit.

2014-05-13 18:43

No Titan, no Dignitas, no HR... meh :/ It's true that it's an "american event" and so it's understandable that they make space for american teams, but still...
