IEM San Jose teams list complete

17-10-2015 00:49

With NiP announced as the seventh official team to attend Intel Extreme Masters San Jose, the eighth attendance spot will go to the winner of the iBUYPOWER CS:GO Invitational.

After our previous article in which Cloud9 and Luminosity were announced as the third and fourth teams to attend the $100,000 Intel Extreme Masters stop in San Jose, California on November 21-22, the final four teams are now officially known.

It was Virtus.pro and Natus Vincere, two teams who today sparred in the Azubu.tv showmatch, who were first announced as the fifth and sixth teams to attend the event.

NiP receive the seventh IEM San Jose spot

ESL have now confirmed that NiP will be the seventh official team to attend the North American event, and they have additionally relegated the final spot to the best placed non-invited team of the iBUYPOWER CS:GO Invitational, another $100,000 tournament in California that will take place the week before on November 14-15.

The official teams list for IEM San Jose is therefore:

TSM	EnVyUs
Cloud9	Luminosity
Virtus.pro	Null element Na`Vi
NiP	iBP CS:GO Cup

With Cloud9 and Luminosity attending the iBP Invitational as well, the final spot is a chance for hungry North American teams (as well as for the Australian Renegades squad), such as those whose owners were disappointed with the earlier North American invites.

Those in the California area who wish to spectate the event can find tickets over on Ticketmaster.

Gaben unban ex ibp

Ban for IBP is justified. The problem is more teams deserve bans but only IBP got banned because of mad ex. gf. In not angry ex. gf they would be ok.

No gonna happen

2015-10-17 00:56

2015-10-17 01:33

+1 would prob go to 2nd or 3rd

If you go to the IEM website it says "Best placed non-invited team from the iBUYPOWER-Cup"

6 replies

2015-10-17 01:00

that means 3rd, right?

2015-10-17 01:55

4 replies

1st, 2nd, or 3rd depending on if both LG and C9 make it to the final or if just one of the two or if neither of them do.

2015-10-17 04:37

3 replies

yap, but in case they both go to final, which team go through, and why? rounds, placement,...? if one of them go to finals it's obvious that the team along them goes to IEM-SJ

2015-10-17 16:39

Oh, I'm not sure, hopefully they make the 3rd and 4th place team play a match in that situation.

2015-10-17 21:04

rather see a match between 3rd-4th than those rounds +/- decisions

2015-10-17 23:14

basically dubi if fnatic could.

NIP Last event x'D then rip next year

DHW Will be their last if they qualify for FACEI ofc

2015-10-17 10:24

ez LG

good matches to watch

Why no fnatic? :S

They always take a break after a Major.

2015-10-17 01:03

because nip used to be good so they get invited to everything

2015-10-17 01:04

Who wouldn't those guys are the biggest attraction in terms of # of fans.

2015-10-17 01:52

nice!

ez nip

2015-10-17 01:01

2015-10-17 01:57

G2 & Titan > C9

2015-10-17 17:27

C9 >>>>> G2 Not even close.

2015-10-17 19:29

C9 is playing like shit right now, got beat by a low tier Australian team in a bo3, and can't get out of groups at a major, and G2 have beat C9 already nt though

2015-10-17 19:34

5 replies

C9 beat G2 before, and G2 has been playing like shit since its inception. Edit- nt though

2015-10-17 20:38

G2 beat them back, after they C9 beat them a month prior, and G2 beat C9 at a major, which means more. This still doesn't change the fact that right now C9 are playing more shitty than G2 nt though

2015-10-17 20:50

C9 beat them once, G2 beat C9 once. This still doesn't change the fact that G2 has been playing like shit since inception, while C9 has played like shit recently. nt though

2015-10-17 21:49

They've been holding their own against tier 2 teams, and also was winning games before their lose streak against t1 teams, and now currently tying against the t2 teams they played more recently. C9 had 1 month of being good so don't give me that bullshit about them playing liek shit recently. nt though

2015-10-17 21:56

"been playing like shit since inception" Let's just ignore the 16-0 vs VP, and getting out of the groups in the major. For a team that doesn't speak a native language, and english is ALL their second languages, they played excellently.

2015-10-21 06:59

NiP is without a doubt better than G2 and Titan

2015-10-17 14:22

G2 >>>> top-5 teams -NeoN 2015

2015-10-17 20:39

What if C9 wins IBP cup? C9 shouldn't be invited on that case. Titan or Mouz should take their spot.

Huh? highest placing non-invited team so if Liquid gets third or CLG.

TezM

2015-10-17 01:08

This is going to be so fkn good. The last IEM was awesome already.

2015-10-17 01:09

2015-10-17 01:20

NIP LMAO

2015-10-17 01:24

C9 and LG should not be at this even with all the top teams. And where tf is Fnatic?

2015-10-17 01:25

Wait C9 is also in the ibuypower tourney We all know Liquid will rekt them anyways, but what if the upset of the century happens and C9 wins ibp (edit: Kappa)tourney too? second place team?

2015-10-17 01:27

Pretty much whoever finishes the highest of the 6 other teams besides c9/lg make it.

2015-10-17 01:30

Luminosity?? WAT?

2015-10-17 01:35

fanbase lol

2015-10-17 02:01

NA to go 0-X again? Or Liquid/CLG gonna turn up?

2015-10-17 01:38

I dunno why so much MUH LIQUID... come on this is a LAN, we all know this fucking pronets gonna choke at cluj, while LG got 2 straight top 8. Hoping so much to lg and liquid at the same group at cluj, we'll see if fugly, onlige and nitr0 can deliver.

Elige perform well on PGL Lan

2015-10-17 02:35

im not talking about elige..

2015-10-17 04:48

"nitr0 can deliver.. but idk about the other guy..." it was just an example, you say that only nitr0 perform well on lan

2015-10-18 06:52

lol onlige should dodge lans just like joelz... he's a joke at lan.

2015-10-17 15:13

How much?

2015-10-18 01:24

one baguette

2015-10-18 01:26

A baguette is probably really expensive for a favela boy like you tho :/

2015-10-18 01:41

yep, cant afford a baguette :S

2015-10-18 03:58

Classic favela boy

2015-10-17 03:21

Who were the LG boys against and tell me have they won a BO3 when they're facing one of these six: Fnatic Tsm Vp nV NiP Navi LG has gotten the most benefit from the bo1 group stages, don't deny it

2015-10-17 15:28

What about liquid? How many BO3 they've won againts those teams? Plz stfu, at least we got 2 top 8, onliners should just get one before talking shit.

2015-10-17 15:47

I'm guessing fnatic was invited, but declined, so spot was given to NiP

2015-10-17 01:42

No... Flusha just said new hack update will be on that day... he cant prepare for it.

2015-10-19 10:25

Everywhere I turn, I see salty BRs

2015-10-17 01:43

Because they know their team ain't gonna win anything in this tournament.

2015-10-17 07:05

why no fnatic?

2015-10-17 01:58

ez for lg

rip lg

2015-10-17 02:19

Nice lineup

2015-10-17 02:24

BAD

2015-10-17 02:27

really? no fnatic? not even gonna watch this shit rofl

2015-10-17 02:36

100k not worth it.

2015-10-17 08:53

lol you guys really think they didnt invite fnatic? they obviously got invited but declined

2015-10-17 02:39

With C9 and LG already invited, the final spot will probably go to Liquid.

2015-10-17 03:08

If Cloud9 wins IBP does that mean they get a 1 game advantage?

2015-10-17 03:37

Lets do this nip

2015-10-17 03:38

Good luck Luminosity! Do you need it!

2015-10-17 03:50

Yo if anyone has premium tickets, I'll buy em off of you plus more Lemme know

2015-10-17 03:54

2015-10-17 04:10

OK..C9..but LG?...really.. cmon

2015-10-17 04:24

they're legends

2015-10-17 15:12

So are G2? And C9 aren't... All I see you BR fanboys type when defending LG is "they're 2 times legends in a major"...Meanwhile they're struggling in NA with other teams than C9...Gtfo.

2015-10-17 15:16

3 times*

2015-11-05 13:45

so cloud9 gets 2 spots cool

2015-10-17 04:32
