MIBR take OpTic's ESL Pro League license

13-9-2018 18:23

MIBR will fill the vacant slot in the North American division of the ESL Pro League, the tournament's organisers have revealed.

The announcement comes after OpTic relinquished their spot in the North American league to compete in ESEA MDL Europe in an attempt to qualify for the region's Pro League division in Season 9.

In a statement, ESL explains that the decision to award MIBR the slot is "based on the fact that their roster consists of former Pro League players and is one of the best teams in the world."

MIBR secure Pro League spot

The Brazilian side had lost their spot in the league after leaving SK Gaming, who decided to retain their license, though they have yet to announce their future plans for the game.

The Cologne-based organisation was at one point heavily linked with a move for Não Tem Como, currently competing as NoTag, but there has been no news on that front.

The eighth season of the ESL Pro League will kick off on October 2, with 12 North American teams set to duke it out over a seven-week period for six spots at the offline finals, which will be held in Odense, Denmark, from December 4-9.

The following teams will take part in EPL Season 8's North American division:

Good for them, there is no way they would have qualified cuz MDL teams > mibr

wow snagged

2018-09-13 19:22

When it's full lineup change, ESL has to accept the lineup. So they can't sign 5 randoms from match making or anything like that.

2018-09-13 19:02

It's not like they're gonna sign a team that can be top 10 either, so yeah it's gonna be some trash team if they ever get to sign anyone

2018-09-13 20:34

Scammers

ok lads

ez sk cry is free

w0w

YOINKED TriHard 7

WOW NEW SK CONFIRMED

OKAY! THEN?

This is complete bs. They should be made to qualify like everybody else. ESL logic is that the org owns the spot. What does it matter then who plays in the team? Mibr has no history in Pro League, they should be made to start from the bottom.

Remember that Immortals had a spot in EPL

2018-09-13 18:30

If they dont deserve the spot, who does? and why wouldnt these guys "have to qualify like everybody else"? the spot needed to be filled, MiBr was choosen cuz they're the best option, accept it, loser

2018-09-13 18:35

SK won't have a team. We are looking at 11 teams on the NA side this season.

2018-09-13 18:27

How do you know?

2018-09-13 18:49

We shall see.. :D

2018-09-13 18:55

Wasted spot.

ez for boxr

Wow that’s a free ticket

This is complete bs. They should be made to qualify like everybody else.

Immortals spot?

2018-09-13 18:47

why they give a tier3 team a spot in a PRO league?

2018-09-13 18:29

expected tbh

Wait, slots are reserved for the teams, not for the players???

Yes, it is on both leagues, ECS and ESL. MIBR will have to get another spot on CS again. They had to get it when they were Luminosity, with SK and now with MIBR.

2018-09-14 00:48

ez for the best team in the world

YOINK

Reported

2018-09-13 18:31

SK kept the spot with no roster wtf

2018-09-13 18:36

One of the best teams in the world? What world is esl living in?

2018-09-13 18:38

2018-09-14 02:59

SK ceo just being an ass like usual. they will hire a shit team, get dmoted and lose money, all because he so salty about his former roster getting better offer

"based on the fact that their roster consists of former Pro League players and is one of the best teams in the world." Ok, make THEM prove it and go thru a qualification process.

2018-09-13 18:44

at the end just say they sold proleague spot for good money.

haha

2018-09-13 18:48

2018-09-13 21:17

OK, nice. But idk, maybe Happy & NBK "dropped the war axe"? lol.

2018-09-13 21:19

NBK said on Twitter something like "I'll play with anyone someone save me" on twitter a while ago. And then went on to say that he'd even play on an NA roster because they're "hard-working and dedicated" in NA which we all know couldn't be farther from the truth. He just wants to play professionally I dont think he cares about beefs
