IGL 2016 team list revealed

15-11-2016 12:38

Nice Tv and Tencent Sports have released the full list of participants for the International Gaming League finals.

Running from November 20-27, the IGL 2016 finals will see seven teams - three Chinese, three from the Americas and one European - duke it out for their share of a prize pool of little over $100,000.

The tournament was originally due to feature eight teams, but TyLoo ended up withdrawing, and a replacement will not be found. Danish side Heroic have agreed to compete at the event, provided that they do not reach the playoffs at IEM Oakland.

Heroic invited to Chinese event

The IGL 2016 finals will kick off with a double-elimination group stage, with best-of-one matches in the upper bracket and best-of-three clashes in the lower bracket. The top two teams from each group will advance to the best-of-three semi-finals, with the title decider featuring a best-of-five format.

Below you can find the teams who will compete at the event:

VG.CyberZen	5POWER
FIVE	Complexity
Luminosity	Vault
HEROIC

The group draw will take place on arrival day. However, the Chinese teams have already been distributed between the two groups as follows:

Group A	Group B
5POWER	VG.CyberZen
TBD	FIVE

A provisional tournament schedule looks as follows:

November 20 - Group A

coL????? What in the actual fuck did they do to get invited to this event?? coL was my favorite team in 04-06 and these fuckers have gone and ruined their name in cs bigtime.. Must really be hard for Jason Lake having a shit CS team when he once had one of the best in the world. Edit - there is 5 spots and only 4 teams to fill the gap?? Who is the final team o_O ?

2016-11-15 15:05

Some powerhouse team like virtual.pro or navi

Vault? Is it eUnited lineup ot Vault will sign another lineup before the event?

2016-11-15 16:35

EZ 4 LG

2016-11-15 17:41

Very random. I understand that coL and LG are known orgs, both have won world titles, both had the #1 CS team at some time. But what about Vault? And I don't think this is bad, I like when lower teams have a chance to play lans. I just wonder HOW they ended up with these teams.

2016-11-15 18:25

I guess they reached out to a lot of teams, but only a few of them accepted. Vault was maybe simply more willing/able to attend.

2016-11-15 20:02

Why would teams refuse a 100k lan? Lots of lower tier 2 and literally every tier 3 teams would accept for sure. The best teams for sure wouldn't attend, because it's gonna be held at the same time of other big tournaments.
