FaZe, Liquid, NiP invited to BLAST Pro Series São Paulo

FaZe, Liquid, and Ninjas in Pyjamas have been confirmed for BLAST Pro Series São Paulo, with only one spot remaining in the team list.

Previously Astralis and MIBR had received the first two invites for the Brazilian event which will take place in São Paulo on March 22-23. The tournament will be the first 2019 stop of the series.

Joining the aforementioned two teams will be Liquid, Ninjas in Pyjamas, and FaZe who are all ranked inside the top six in the World Ranking after reaching the playoffs at the IEM Katowice Major.

NiP are among the invited teams

The $250,000 tournament will have a round-robin format in the group stage after which the top two sides will meet in a best-of-three grand final for the trophy and the lion's share of the cash prize.

The team list for BLAST Pro Series São Paulo is below:

Good invites. Last invite will be Navi i assume?

I almost sure that Navi already declined invite, coz Zeus said that they had too many tournaments last year and they would want to play less. Taking to the account how far is Sao Paolo from Ukraine there are no chances that they will fly there.

So what? The quality is lower now??? No wonder so many NiP fans gave you +1 (nostalgic people that want NiP era back). CSGO is on its apex, Astralis 2019 >>> fnatic 2015, and I'm not even an Astralis fan. Stop thinking with your hearth and think with your brain.

my guess is Na'Vi turned down the invite. Maybe because it's in Brazil and they're afraid or that they want a break from cs for a month or so.

Choose different teams. No one is forcing them to only pick the HLTV ranked top 6. Pick some wildcards or Challengers to make each tournament unique and more exciting/random.

Yup. Isn't very interesting for me. Serious lack of excitement when you just get the exact same handful of matchups every time. Maybe they should work on inviting 2 challenger teams (top tier 2 teams) to each one. It'd help encourage hungry teams to work harder to get into the top 10 for invites. Teams like NRG, BIG, mouz, Renegades, Vitality etc. There's so many strong teams with really big fan bases who could still challenge or beat any of those repetitive top 6.
