London to stage $50,000 ICE Challenge

1-2-2019 20:50

GG.BET has announced that it will organise a four-team invitational tournament in London with $50,000 up for grabs.

The event will run from February 5-7 at the ExCeL London convention centre as part of ICE London 2019, a business-to-business gaming event.

The tournament will feature a double-elimination, best-of-three format, with two matches scheduled for each of the three days of the event.

Na`Vi to make first appearance of the year in London

Natus Vincere, the current No.3 side in the world, headline the team list for the event, making this the Ukrainians' first competition of 2019 and an important test ahead of the IEM Katowice Major.

The full team for the ICE Challenge looks as follows:

Ukraine Natus Vincere
Denmark HEROIC
Denmark North
Kazakhstan AVANGAR

The tournament will be free to watch for all ICE London attendees and will be broadcast on Twitch on a channel that will be revealed at a later date.

Just a bunch of dumb Navi fans that think their team is the best in the world and any tourney they attend is a high tier tournament. This is just as low tier as Eleague. You have one great team in both tourneys (Faze and Navi) one good team (North and C9), and two mediocre teams (avangar, heroic, big, col)

NiKo is a great content creator and sick PUG player. But If you gonna cheer for FaZe you will most likely be disappointed again. You could just get into the tournament all neutral and really enjoy the game play. Then you will find small ges here and there. I hate what Fnatic had last major so i just watched all the other teams and i am than kul for it. Saw so many other matches and players that I Otherwise would have missed or saw them in a different perspective
