I know, I was talking about FaZe. Considering that they are former WESA team, it's even more surprising.

what exactly is surprising? I am missing your point

3 replies

ESL is in WESA and FaZe isn't, FaZe actually left WESA. Thats why he thinks its a surprise that FaZe is invited to this Tournament

yeah, i thought that VP is not in WESA, but actually they are

2017-03-31 22:56

So it is not about exclusivity anymore.

2017-04-01 04:44

The right thing to do.

1st 8 invites should be straight forward, they'll invite those teams already qualified for the major. If it happens, cologne will remain a sick tournament.

Astralis? North? ..

2017-03-31 22:52

Astralis is next.

2017-03-31 22:54

1. No sticker income's ESL: we felt happy for not only holding a quality match, but also left slight revenue, we are not lose money. 2. Little Sticker income's ESL: Valve, I should get more income form stickers. 3. Stable sticker income's ESL: I am the world leader of CSGO major holder. I want VAC players back. I will directly invite 12 teams out of 16(instead of tradition 8+8), cause i want extend my influence and get more money. Vlave: go F... urself, Only I can do this in Dota2!
