ESL One Belo Horizonte South America Closed Qualifier

24-4-2018 00:18

Luminosity have performed a U-turn on their decision to skip the South American closed qualifier for ESL One Belo Horizonte, ESPN Esports Brasil has revealed.

Gustavo "⁠SHOOWTiME⁠" Gonçalves had announced on Twitter that the team would not be competing in the online qualifier as Luminosity had decided against sending the players back to Brazil so that they could focus on ESL Pro League, ECS and the StarSeries qualifier.

VNS Sushi Rão, Wild and INTZ were already getting prepared to play for Luminosity's spot in the closed qualifier, only to be informed of the team's change of heart.

steel about to play for LG again

Luminosity made headlines on Sunday as they recruited Lucas "⁠steel⁠" Lopes from Liquid and coach Rafael "⁠zakk⁠" Fernandes from Immortals. The duo will remain in Brazil for now, while the rest of the squad are still in the United States, where they will play the first two matches of the qualifier before travelling back home to compete in the rest of the tournament.

Eight teams will be taking part in the closed qualifier, which will run from April 24 to May 9. Luminosity will take on C4 in the first round of this double-elimination tournament, which will reward the winner with a spot at the $200,000 ESL event.

This means that the team list for the qualifier is once again:

Não Tem Como	Luminosity
Isurus	FURIA
Yeah	Virtue
C4	Sharks

YES what a honor to see them play in our beautiful country! EZ FOR BR CS LMAOO #RUNLG #SKUP #EZNTC BR CS TOP 1 #wesmartweloyalwefriendlywebrazil

At this point i doubt that this event will even take place

2018-04-24 00:26

No, the ESL One BH SA Qualifier won't have any matches in 29/04 and 30/04, the same days as the WCA Finals

2018-04-24 00:50

A brazil->China plane takes something like 30 hours. No way they will play WCA finals.

i'm surprised that event isn't cancelled yet

2018-04-24 01:09

they should cancel that event once and for all, and compensate the teams that were going to attend (including those that forfeited)

2018-04-24 01:56

Pay the teams that FF and weren’t even to attend the event :thinking:

2018-04-24 16:00

they were going to attend in the original schedule

2018-04-24 17:25

Yeah but because of all the other tournaments that were at the moment schedule got messed up, nowadays if you are not ESL, ELEAGUE etc... and you wanna make a tournament you just get fucked by schedules. ESL won't let teams miss league matches to play another tournament that isn't Dreamhack or a major (guess they would but with exceptions).
