G2 and Legacy replace Na`Vi and Space Soldiers at IEM Sydney

28-4-2018 14:22

Visa complications have caused Na`Vi and Space Soldiers to withdraw from IEM Sydney. G2 and Legacy replaced the two teams at the $250,000 tournament.

Despite applying for visas weeks ago, not all of Na`Vi's and Space Soldiers' players have been able to secure the documents necessary to travel to Australia, which forced the two teams to withdraw from IEM Sydney.

ESL have replaced the two teams with G2, who finished 3rd-4th in the European closed qualifier, and local side Legacy OCE, who placed fourth in the Oceania closed qualifier.

G2 and Legacy were invited as last-minute replacements for Na`Vi and Space Soldiers

The group brackets at the $250,000 tournament have not been altered, as the French side directly replaced Na`Vi in Group B, while Legacy OCE took Space Soldiers' place in Group A.

"We have just confirmed that both Natus Vincere and Space Soldiers will drop from IEM Sydney 2018 due to VISA complications. We know that both teams were looking forward to travelling to Australia to compete and meet their international fan base" IEM Product Manager, Shaun Clark, said in a statement.

"In both cases, not all of their teams roster were granted visas and with the long travel time to Australia and the event set to begin on Tuesday, we had to make the call in order to protect the tournament and still find suitable replacements. With this decision we are incredibly thankful to G2 Esports & Legacy Esports to join as replacements on such short notice."

The groups now are the following:

Group A	Group B
FaZe	MOUZ
Cloud9	fnatic
SK	G2
Legacy OCE	Astralis
Renegades	NRG
TYLOO	MVP PK
Grayhound	Chiefs
ORDER	BOOT-d[S]

IEM Sydney will run on May 1-6, with the first three days reserved for the group stage. G2 will face MVP PK in the first round, while Legacy OCE will take on Renegades.

2018-04-29 03:18

Coldbaiter isn’t even the best br player of all time. My man kngv has him beat there.

2018-04-28 19:14

Prove it or...

2018-04-29 09:53

It is so sad that there is a chance that you actually might think that cold is the GOAT.

2018-04-29 08:38

VP? they won with g2 in closed qual

even Gambit who also placed 3-4th at the same qualifier would win against them for sure, G2 is a fucking wasted spot with fucking botwell, botyy and nbkry. They will place 13-16th, 9-12th at max, mark my fucking words.

SS or Legacy, who cares. Honestly, I think its fine for the local community.

If you think this way then why would you want G2 there. they get crushed by everyone

2018-04-28 14:50

Thats true tho. But atleast they can have their 3 lans and make some changes faster!

You are just saying it based on DreamHack Marseille or? They had a great major run in my opinion

One failed lan doesn't really prove anything

2018-04-28 16:21

Yes they lost to Astralis(champions) and Gambit(semi finalists) lmfao dumb

2018-04-28 17:12

it was the way they lost:)

2018-04-28 17:14

Well they lost to future champs and 3rd place so...

Because is a fucking Aussie event! How can so many people not understand this?

2018-04-28 22:19

Yay let's watch every trash Aussie get destroyed 16-0 so boring

Australia is the 2nd most liveable country in the world behind Norway, has the most liveable city in the world, Melbourne, (with Sydney close behind), is ranked 2nd on the HDI, 2nd on the Education index and 4th in life expectancy. We also rarely have any acts of terror or military coups. We outrank Turkey in every index. Stay irrelevant

lmao turkey calling someone low quality,stay where you are cockroach

2018-04-28 17:57

I don't believe that they denied our apply because of immigration law maybe because of political reasons. Besides this is a team that attending 4 big tournement this year. Also 2nd at WESG. They don't need any kind of immigration shit or nice talking from you guys because they are amazing playing this year. It's true that life quality of Turkey decrease last 15 years but due to neo-liberalism but these lands are amazing nobody can't deny it also there is a reality that we are living in Anatolia which is one of the most problem area in the world. You can't judge Turkey's problems from fucking island, i'm sorry.

RIP XD

hahahahahaha gg simple

OnlineSoldires XD

5 Au shit teams...

This event turned into total sh**

Someone is mad VP didn't get the invite. But honestly they should be thankful! losing to legacy might have been the last nail in the coffin.

Tbh VP went way further in the Sydney qualifiers by beating G2(!) and NiP xD

2018-04-28 14:38

Actually VP should have got the invitation instead of g2 to be fair I don't understand ESL in this context

VP might have had to decline an invite due to short notice

2018-04-28 15:10

I don't care about VP, but look at these teams, half of them is so weak. Tbh i thought that Danes are smarter

2018-04-28 17:18

Ez 4 g2

Nt lul

2018-04-28 15:06

Legacy and who?

2018-04-28 14:24

this is great legacy promising team deserved to be there g2 looking nice as well

9 replies

Legacy are promising yes but in the AU scene. I really don't want to see what is about to happen to them at Sydney because it won't be pretty. I think most people were expecting Tainted instead, would rather have those chokers than these guys. Ez 4 bl1tz tho

well tainted dogs threw with burn, so its fair big boy daddy blitz will wreck with awp

cant invite Tainted because they come 5th in the qualifier while Legacy come 4th. and the last i checked 4th is better then 5th so they deserve it more

they arent promising at all, losing to all the other tier 3 au teams.. definitely promising

2018-04-28 17:00

They beat Tainted and Corvidae tho

2018-04-28 17:01

cos tainted threw LUL not promising compared to EU teams, as much as I'd like to believe I just can't.

2018-04-28 17:16

Well don’t throw then...

2018-04-28 17:36

there are more au teams then t2 teams this event is gonna be totally failure u cant compare legacy with eu teams .

2018-04-28 14:30

> Nice as well > Losing to tier3 onliners nV 16-7 at LAN

2018-04-30 04:05

aussie visa at its finest

ss just dont want to get shit on lan

Another nail into cs:go coffin...

t2 event.

faze astralis fnatic c9 mouz tier 2 mr african union

2018-04-28 17:02

G2 gets visas in a few days but SS cant get in a month , terrible

It is hard to obtain a visa if you're from a third world country, thats why it is easier for the French.

Well why did your grandfathers dead on Turkey in 1915 and your people coming to Turkey for visit their tomb a lot of australian in my country but we cant going yours thats not fair.

2018-04-29 11:14

Aussies were outnumbered in Gallipoli. 1 Australian = 2 Turks, even if we lost. Won the war anyway, so stay free

2018-04-29 11:49

well G2 is a huge organisation, it is much easier for them to get the visas even within few days, sad but that's how it works

2018-04-28 15:07

that's because G2 is French, which is who we have a treaty with... and do I have to explain the turkey part?

2018-04-28 17:03

We all know why, but sure that's deplorable

2018-04-28 19:35

WHY G2 WTF????

mad?

U seem salty

No, you're just deluded

2018-04-28 14:34

Says the guy with vp flair. Facts are that vp would even struggle against nrg

2018-04-28 14:36

Well because I'm not a plastic fan like most of the people on HLTV. I've been always supporting VP so I have a VP flair?? Yeah they're playing like shit and everyone knows that.

2018-04-28 14:37

Then dont say that someone is deluded if you want vp in Sydney

because VP don't deserve

How they don't deserve when they placed 2nd in qualifiers? #Fanlogic

2018-04-28 14:49

Because they won't perform and you know it I thought that Thorin's fans are smart

That doesn't mean they don't deserve it If u earn your spot how u don't deserve it? If u qualified for a major u should not play there because your overall results are pretty bad and u still imply they would not deserve that spot? Following your logic tell me how g2 deserve this spot? #fanlogic

Yeah sure nice trolling, VP is an exception, they are shit I'm not shitting AU teams for example. But I hope VP retire, their performance is a disaster

Ok, I'm done here arguing with people who do not seem to put any logic behind their comments Pls read once again what u said

2018-04-28 14:57

I can only presume VP probably declined the invitation from esl

im going to guess that VP and Gambit declined, either due to seeing the visa problems or other reasons and that leaves G2 as the next spot.

2018-04-28 14:42

Yeah that's what I think.

2018-04-28 20:26

They did not, Byali said on stream no one asked them anything

2018-04-30 12:58

rly g2

SS are so trash on lan even australian government know its better to replace them

with Legacy...

2018-04-28 14:27

legacy who??????

G2 who?

and why not vp? I know they are bad, but they beaten G2 and lost to astralis..

i think its bcs vp would have a hard time getting visa as well?

but G2 didnt have any problem?

its pretty ez for french people (and spain) and quick as well

2018-04-28 14:41

we have a treaty with France.. that's why its so easy

2018-04-28 17:06

rip turks man

RIP

They are losing war to birds and dont let them to entry to country what a noob country

+111 F<T-S

What?

group a is a fucking joke right?q

yes

2018-04-28 14:44

I don't understand why Australia and their home countries inhibit E-Sports athletes from travelling. 1. For the home country, since most teams have native players (excluding maybe Mouz and FaZe), its a change to assert dominance in the E Sports sector. 2. For Australia, it increases tourism cause PEOPLE want to see Na Vi and SS play man.

And USA?

USA grants E-Sports visas all the time. E-Sports is recognized as a real sport in America so they are able to acquire Visas just as fast as other athletes coming in the country.

so what happened to Tyloo and 100T?

Their just tier 100000 :) I said to E-Sports players not throwers

Right

2018-04-28 14:48

Tyloo? THINKING

2018-04-28 17:07

Legacy wasted spot

sad

New WCA

I cant blame australia to not give ez visa to ppl from ukraine and turkey

static.hltv.org/images/bigflags/30x20/WO..

ehh fuck you australia

why exactly?

beacuse of that stupid visa

apply earlier? navi were invited and ss qualified a while ago so get them as soon as possible

+1 lol And repeating events usually happen at same or close to same date as original ones.

yea this event was 1 day difference lmao

Omg, why garbage named G2. Why Legacy? Why not NIP? Retarded...

Why not VP? Who beat both NIP and G2 in the qualifier

Actually yea invite VP so i can see the downfall of VP and i get to see them lose to an AU or Asian team

yeah same

both spots wasted tbh.

why not nip/gambit/tl

Group a.... shit faze with xizt, a worse sk and weakened c9. rest are au and asian teams lmao. Astralis, mouz, fnatic and g2 on the other side, fantastic

Rigged for Faze

2018-04-28 16:36

have u seen g2s results?

2018-04-28 17:09

2018-04-28 17:13

g2 not promising at all my man

doing well online, and at least 4th best on both groups. looking better than sk imo

2018-04-28 17:21

2018-04-28 17:23

two of the best teams replaced by some random trash and Legacy

Ss - one of the best... At losing on lan..

2018-04-28 15:52

How is G2 random trash?

2018-04-28 22:22

not random, but trash

2018-04-30 04:10

5 teams from australia

lmao

Didn't you say you were going? Rip your money bro Lol

Astralis v C9 final?

3. World country australia gj

AAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

Australia > Turkey, not Australia's fault that SS to retardet to get VISAs as a pro player

not AU's fault, it's our visa process we dont change our laws so some fucking counter strike pros can come in the country

2018-04-28 17:10

VP beats g2 and g2 gets invited anyways. Nice fucking logic

i think you're the stupid one here. vp probably cant get a visa in time seeing as they're from poland. meanwhile its pretty ez for eu country such as france (and spain for that matter)

Oh so Poland isn't in EU? Yeah I guess you're the stupid one here.

yeah thats not what i meant. what i meant was an EU country such as france (that has a pretty high standing ( they're in the G7 so they're pretty renowned in the world and therefore would have an easier time in getting visas in time). dont jump to conclusions. you're the stupid one here

2018-04-28 14:43

I guess that's pretty obvious France will get a visa faster than Poland. Don't act smart, we all know, im just joking, chill poland

G2 is not playing well but VP is a whole new level of shit, sorry

G2 WILL WIN

if its possible they should redraw the groups and such cuz this is obvious ez event. I mean faze wont make it out of groups anyways eksde

why would they redraw? It will be g2 vs mvp instead, not much difference there g2 still gonna win that.

wow what a change of events

So much austalian teams in this tournament

Bad

Why not VP? This is so retarded

Would have liked to see VP instead of G2 I don't like the team one bit but I can't deny that they have an enormous fanbase which would be good for a country with a not so developed CS scene.

Yeah lets watch vp lose all their games against tier 5 teams. No one would want vp there, not even vp would want vp there

2018-04-30 11:00

Yeah but IMO G2 rn is a fkn trainwreck. Both teams are boring as fuck.

2018-04-30 11:04

coz they probably cannot get a visa in time? lol why is it retarded?

nothing against g2, least they got a good team as a replacement. SS weren't going to go far anyway, but still a shame they cannot attend.

tier 5 tournament now

because Navi cannot attend? Navi wasnt going going to achieve much more than g2 will.

No bc of 5 aus and 3 asia teams

2018-04-28 15:28

you said "now" so i assumed you were sayings its tier 5 because navi and ss cant attend

2018-04-28 15:31

No not bc of that Especially bc of legacy, like wtf

2018-04-28 16:44

wasted af

shame on alex

Expected First with World War I and now with IEM Sydney, easy for the anzacs.

the turks won at gallipoli we lost 100000 men there..

Everybody’s showşng their hate towards ss up there lul

SpaceS or Legancy? What the differance, both would go 0-2

And vp would go with 0:2 as well

vp would go with 0:32

It happened once. I don't think losing to Astralis or Gambit is a shame.

Sad to see our boys are not gonna play but G2 is a good replacement tbh

BUT... Vp beat g2 in quals for IEM sydney AND G2 invited for free?!?!?!? WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS IEM?!??!?! why not vp cykaaaaa

hard for poles to get visas to australia

polska mad cuz vp bad ?:D

MAD

wtf why G2 and why Legacy? Where is NiP, Liquid etc..?

3rd world problems

5 au teams and 3 asian teams,nice event

why not VP LOL

OMEGALUL

navi T_T s1mple cant catch a break

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Legacy? fuckign really. This even is so shit now.

Unfortunate

lmao g2 wasted spot no difference between no team and G2 XDDDDD

LUL Legacy (who) > NaVi & SS

You guys say ss wasted spot..G2 is fucking worse the ss lol....

G0-2 lul

LOOOOL easy all maps de dust 2

YES!!! G2 it's your chance to prove yourself!

with botweel, botyy and nbkry is NT at max

2018-04-30 04:14

wtf.

NAVI DOMOU!

Its funny, because there is 5 australian teams and i bet that not a single one of them will make it to the playoffs

Visa policy is a joke

this event feels like tier3 legit

Group A so obviously stacked to have best chance of getting home team to playoffs, wtf. Wasnt really paying attention before, was navi in A or B? If they were originally in B that could go down as the worst group draw in csgo to date...

Sadly they were originally in B.

Ss Lan dodgers OMEGALUL TRAUMA FROM MARSEILLE

"Despite applying for visas weeks ago..." Weeks ago, how long have they known they were coming? Just curious because I've known for over a month and it usually takes longer than a couple of weeks to get a visa, esp when you're from sketchy countries.

The organizers should have invited Navi much earlier, then. Well, maybe Navi should've contacted them as well asking something like "Are you going to invite us?", lol.

I think they waited too long to apply for the visa. Either way it's definitely a shame the #1 player in the world won't be there. As for SS, sidestep to legacy makes no difference

2018-04-28 15:41

They applied on April 9.

Yeah it's not unusual for it to take over a month. Takes 6 weeks for us to get a new passport for travelling, have to plan these things ahead of time.

2018-04-28 15:43

My partner from Russia was denied her visa 3 days ago, she applied on April 2nd. It takes approx 21 days at this time of year. It's very, very hard to get visa approval, one small hole in your story and and they simply won't let you in. Disputes are lengthy and costly.

2018-04-28 17:19

Ahh, well they haven't been denied (yet). If it takes 21 days, i guess they'll find out on May 1st, the day the games start, hence the tournament withdrawal

2018-04-28 18:17

Applying visa, 25 days to 45 days.... it shows on papers.

2018-04-30 04:23

ez lan dodge

Good luck to both teams replacing the Russian team. But... FNATIC take our energy <3

2018-04-28 15:00

2018-04-28 15:01

Dang, faze SK and c9 already had it easy, now they have it even easier...

2018-04-28 15:02

I blame erdogan

rip Australia, rip Sydney..

GOOD TOURNAMENT TURNS OUT TO BE SHIT WHY THEY EVEN NEED THAT TOURNAMENT THERE, WHO IS WATCHING CS IN AUSTRALIA

Group A is basically a joke

2018-04-28 15:04

not enough australian teams?

2018-04-28 15:05

5 australian team nice tournament nice !

2018-04-28 15:09

sorry for spam

Why not VP? VP was higher than G2 in EU qualifier to Sydney Lul

2018-04-28 15:11

Cause they are trash anyway LUL

2018-04-28 15:30

Maybe they don't play very well but this slot should belong to them because they were higher than G2 in qualifier

2018-04-28 15:45

Maybe they didn't want to go at last minute who knows.

2018-04-28 15:46

Maybe

why not nip?

All im hoping is that at least one au team will make it to quarters

2018-04-28 15:12

Faze, c9 and sk to playoffs confirmed Otherwise disband

2018-04-28 15:16

Ridiculous tournament this is. At next DHM Stockholm they gonna invite nip, fnatic, godsent, enyoy and then have 7 spots for Nordic qualifiers and 1 half for the rest of the world like this event.

2018-04-28 15:19

I wish that other big teams unite to boycott IEM Sydney to support Na'Vi & SS (I know it's up to Orgs, not players). And I agree, why not VP instead of some tier 5 Aussie team.

2018-04-28 15:20

Natus NoVisacere

rip

Flamie dodging another lan?

lol. nt

2018-04-28 15:34

Can we just stop hosting in these countries that frequently have visa Issues OR at least make the events like 5 months after qualifying so it doesn't turn into a farce.

Wtf? Why fuckin braindead kangroos why?!

Rigged Now they get Aussie team in playoffs

tier 2 event now lol

2018-04-28 15:38

5 au teams? wut

2018-04-28 15:39

Enjoy your shitty Ocenia event ok

LUL nice country, visas issues FTW

Fuck I really wonder who's gonna get out of group A now (btw its 3 teams)

2018-04-28 15:48

G2 have been performing well lately! Deserved spot..

I think so to, if every player can show up and play well they have a chance at the Victory

2018-04-28 22:40

i already had 2k $ bet on navi aktibe ehh

2018-04-28 15:54

LEGACY HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAA. Youd be better off inviting an open team for christ sake

hahaha very noice :-)))))

2018-04-28 15:55

4 aussie and tyloo in group A LUL free pass to arena for faze sk and c9 LUL

thrash2 even worse than legacy

2018-04-28 16:05

5 shitters australians teams, no CIS, no virtus.pro OMEGALUL tournament :D

2018-04-28 16:10

unlucko malucko

Legacy is going to get so destroyed, 16-0 inc

doesn't really matter since the whole world will be asleep during the matches LUL

2018-04-28 16:13

Wow the skill gap between group a and b wtf group a suck??

2018-04-28 16:18

No SS on LAN PepeHands

they tryna get as much aussie teams in group A as possible to make it so they have a chance at one team making it out of groups xD why not just put legacy in group b?!

2018-04-28 16:22

LUL

2018-04-28 16:23

smh

2018-04-28 16:26

Its not enough 7 shitty teams from asia and australia lets add one more

Rip xd

IEM Sydney 2018 fuck idiot turnuva :@

2018-04-28 16:53

When you look at the groups, you don't whether to cry or laugh.

2018-04-28 16:55

Group A is rubbish. G2 should of been added to A. SK, C9 and Faze wont have much problem with the other teams. Group B is a lot stronger

2018-04-28 16:58

Does any other big event get stacked with shit teams from the host country? wtf

5/16 teams are australian shitter tier. Lol great tournament. Glad I didn't travel over for this.

these are the most unfair groups ive ever seen

2018-04-29 01:07

why wouldnt they put Legacy in group B and G2 In group A so 1 group doesnt have 5 Australian teams

2018-04-28 17:58

Haha several hours later and im still shaking my head

2018-04-29 01:06

Group B is so much tougher OMG. Getting the 4th team in an Oceania qualifier instantly drops that event from Tier 2 to Tier 3. Marseille was much more stacked.

one of these rando aus teams will do something interesting mark my words

2018-04-28 17:47

s1mple FeelsBadMan

2018-04-28 17:52

rip b group

lol rip

2018-04-28 17:53

fucxk yeah viva la france

Why would G2 get the spot instead of VP? I thought VP came second in the qualifier??

2018-04-28 18:00

Maybe because Virtus pro wasn't able to come

2018-04-30 10:33

They did not, Byali said on stream no one asked them anything !!!

2018-05-01 14:29

Unlucko soldiers

2018-04-28 18:06

and Maluko Vincere

2018-04-28 20:18

No i wanted my NaVi jersey signed :(

i hate navi and dont like simple but hes on point rn so thats an oof

2018-04-28 18:07

Why wasnt this all sorted months ago?

2018-04-28 18:39

Group A is a joke

2018-04-28 18:44

G2 and who?

LOL group A is a joke

2018-04-28 18:49

ss are scared of LAN?? :thinking:

2018-04-28 18:52

Feelsbad for s1mple... he just can't catch a break. It's fucking 2018 and professional teams/players still have issues with VISAs, it's beyond absurd at this point.

sucks that navi cant be there but legacy will probably put up more of a fight than ss would've anyways

2018-04-28 20:59

good swap for SS but RIP navi

2018-04-28 21:39

Sad for both teams

2018-04-28 21:50

It's so frustrating when the teams can't attend events because of visa issues. Reminds me about when 100Thieves couldn't attend the major.

2018-04-28 22:11

Wtf you all telling about SS, can’t you be at least a bit more respectful, SS overall was performing good, they just lost 2 bo1 in one day, they don’t deserve this shit, they are still #15 (legacy good change for SS - omegalul australian t2 team)

2018-04-28 22:21

Biggest omega lul in 2018 !

2018-04-29 00:08

good luck

kids mad because of Legacy being added

2018-04-29 00:49

Such a shame :(

2018-04-29 01:05

Can we talk about how stacked group B is compared to group A? 4 Aussie teams + Tyloo. No offense to the Aussies but their teams just arent quite at that tier 1 level yet.

2018-04-29 03:23

Wow.... not envyus

2018-04-29 03:30

nice, another AUS team to job to actual teams and MEME2

2018-04-29 03:44

well at least now I don't have to be disappointed that I was going to miss 1/2 of the event anyway... no Na'Vi no team to really cheer for

2018-04-29 08:44

Washed2 wasted spot

2018-04-29 09:09

why g2? virtus pro won with g2 in qual for iem sydney

2018-04-29 10:45

apexGOD top 1 <3 <3 <3

2018-04-29 12:43

Ah, IEM Sydney just became so less worh to watch it.

2018-04-29 14:14

Space soldier dodging lan to avoid another humiliation ^^. Nah kinda sad for them, i wanted them to prove last lan was just a counter performance to shake things up a bit.
