14-2-2018 01:30

ECS organiser FACEIT has revealed the invite list for the North American Challenger Cup.

Complexity, Splyce and Rise Nation, all of whom had made their way through the qualifiers, have received invites to the Challenger Cup, joining Ghost and four qualified sides.

Immortals were initially due to compete in the cup after finishing at the foot of the table last season, but the North American organisation decided to forfeit their spot as they currently cannot field a starting line-up.

Rise Nation invited to the Challenger Cup

Thirteen teams will be taking part in the closed qualifier, featuring a single-elimination bracket. Dignitas, Mask Off and Rogue have all been given a bye into the second round of the qualifier, which will run from February 17-19.

Below you can find the first round of matches:

Dignitas	vs.	BYE
Bravado	vs.	Iceberg
TeamOne	vs.	2K
Mythic	vs.	LFAO
Mask Off	vs.	BYE
F1-racecar-PEEK	vs.	BlackOut
Etherian	vs.	Wise
Rogue	vs.	BYE

The following four teams have been invited to the Challenger Cup, which will determine the last two sides competing in ECS Season 5:

Ghost	Complexity
Splyce	Rise Nation

2018-02-14 04:05

Should be easy qualification for dignitas. The only teams I see dignitas having a problem with are Etherian and Rogue.

2018-02-14 04:36

You're such a fanboi lol. There are alot of teams which can ezly beat current Dignitas. Splyce, Mythic, Rise Nation, Ghost and CoL 4 example.

2018-02-14 05:29

I keep thinking about the coL with Slemmy, the one that did fuck all. with FNS yes they are a threat. Mythic? LOL. Splyce? LOL. Rise? Super LOL. Ghost? LOL.

2018-02-14 07:41

Splyce are way better lol XotiC is nutty

2018-02-14 13:26

All Splyce have going for them are good aimers and some experienced players. Doesnt seem like all of that experience amounts to anything though. mCe alone with his experience and good in game leading would pick Splyce apart
