FaZe invited to ESL One Cologne

FaZe have become the fourth side to receive an invitation to compete at ESL One Cologne 2019.

The European team attended last year's edition of ESL One Cologne with Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen and Jorgen "⁠cromen⁠" Robertsen in their lineup, finishing in 3-4th place after losing to BIG in the semi-finals.

FaZe, who are currently ranked #5 in the World Ranking, were playing at StarSeries i-League Season 7 in Shanghai, China until Wednesday when they lost 2-0 to North in the final round of the Swiss group stage.

FaZe join Astralis, BIG and Natus Vincere in the team list

ESL One Cologne 2019 will take place on July 2-7, with the LANXESS Arena hosting the playoffs in the final three days. Astralis, Natus Vincere, and BIG had been previously invited to the $300,00 event which will also feature four qualified teams. The remaining eight spots will be handed out by the organizers.

The current team list for ESL One Cologne 2019 can be found below:

Its pretty much a foregone conclusion that Astralis will win every event they attend in 2019, by your logic no teams should bother attending these tournaments.

Did you even watch that match? It could easily have been 2-0 or 2-1 for NiP had things gone only slightly differently. Also NiP made top 8 at the Major, Fnatic couldn't even make top 16. That's what I consider pure trash.

Its not always about winning tournaments. Especially in Astralis era since they win every. NIP is a top6 team and managed several top 4 finishes last year, they also made a grand final which they lost against Navi, they beat Astralis sometimes and usual put up a good fight against any team. Remember that NiP is right now playing with a standin, draken, aka the most inconsistent awper of all time. Its not about proving NiP is a super good team, but they are top6 and you can't deny it. Fnatic is barely top 10 if not worse
