Ty mate. Didn't expect a real answer.

2015-10-13 13:06

That's bullshit. Even if roster changes or players leave nip organisation. As long as 3 players from current Nip stick together in whatever org, that team will continue competing in SL.

NiP will most likely get G2 spot since NiP will probably aim to get Maikelele, Dennis and Rain.

IE? ocelote already said that he wont release somebody to nip because its a "dying dinosaur"

2015-10-13 15:10

2015-10-13 21:19

not north america when 2 brazilian teams are attending is it

9 replies

Go away

2015-10-13 13:11

if it were 2 brazilian teams out of 3 teams, then you would be correct but since it will be 2 brazilian and 14 NA, could technically call them NA. Not to mention that one or both of them actually live and play in NA, dont they?

yeah but why not just call them all american teams?

2015-10-13 13:25

That would be better indeed but hltv editors are so used to saying EU/NA since both are 2 capital letters that I doubt they will bother changing shit.

2015-10-13 15:25

Idiot, those Brazillians living @ USA, so it's NA

2015-10-13 13:09

Is there no prize money for the online league section? Isn't that against the new terms of the union that was just created?

Thank god no c9 or NIP. Only good teams at this event.

2015-10-13 13:37

2015-10-13 13:18

Did C9 decline another invitation?

2015-10-13 13:19

piter lol, expected though

NiP and C9 changes inc? Why would NiP decline the invite? Contracts expire on new years. NiP re-worked. Why would C9 decline the invite? I have no fucking clue..

no c9 finally, trash.

2015-10-13 13:23

How much?

2015-10-13 16:36

cyka blyat pls

2015-10-13 21:11

Wow, almost a major :o

2015-10-13 13:24

China? Wouldn't an Asia division be better, as it would give the opportunity to more teams to participate?

2015-10-13 13:31

NA + Renegades ?

2015-10-13 13:34

There are 3 TBA spots so I'm assuming Renegades will be one of those depending on availability.

2015-10-13 13:39

c9 changes inc NoKappa

2015-10-13 13:42

LOL PiTER

2015-10-13 13:43

gtr just said "whe dont know what happens next year thats why we are not attending starseries"

2015-10-13 13:49

Did c9 reject? Or are they one of the TBAs

2015-10-13 14:11

reject along with nip... here come the gtr rumours

2015-10-13 14:25

Still, I don't see why you would decline an invitation to such a tournament. Like, you can still accept and play with a different roster when the tournament takes place, than when you were invited.

2015-10-13 18:02

c9 declined things like pgl, depends on conflicts / player preference

2015-10-13 20:05

fun to see those 4 chinese teams

2015-10-13 14:13

- Orgless + Mouz pls

2015-10-13 14:16

2015-10-13 14:19

Let me get this straight...na will send 16 teams, just to play one game (group stage) and go home?

2015-10-13 14:27

Only finals with 5/2/1 teams will be held in Minsk. Groupstages and so will be played online.

2015-10-13 14:41

surely renegades?

2015-10-13 14:30

So many spots for N/A - just waste of time. -5 n/a teams +5 eu teams

"From January 13-17, the Minsk Arena will play host to the season finals, where five teams from Europe, two from North America and one from China will battle it out for the StarSeries crown and the first prize of $90,000." There are only 2 spots for NA.

2015-10-13 17:13

I mean 16 teams from na division will play for two slots, thats waste of time. N/a sucks

2015-10-13 18:22

2015-10-13 18:05

Welcom to Minsk!

2015-10-13 18:09

No NiP. No C9. Coincidence that the finals are in 2016, after the NiP contracts are up? Perhaps they already know there is no point in doing this league because they both will have new rosters.
