FaZe invited to ESL One New York

Another invite for ESL One New York has been announced as FaZe is the seventh team to join the team list.

Currently ranked sixth in the world, FaZe have been invited to ESL One New York after their second-place finish at BLAST Pro Series Los Angeles, where they were defeated by Liquid in the grand final. During FaZe's peak in 2017, the team won an ESL One New York event, with Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač grabbing the MVP award after an amazing, 1.70-average rated performance.

NiKo and co. return to New York for another ESL One

FaZe will therefore join the likes of Liquid, Astralis, and ENCE at the eight-team tournament that will take place on September 26-29, with only one more team left to be revealed.

The team list for ESL One New York is now as follows:

Bosnia and Herzegovina Nikola 'NiKo' Kovač

Rating 1.0:
1.17

Bro, those "small" events (8 teams) are about the money. FaZe Clan has a lot more fans in USA than Vitality will ever have. Why invite a team that no one wants to see, when you can invite someone that brings you fans and merch sell.

LOL. I did no such thing. I would never equate a B01 as equivalent to a B03/B05, and I would never equate a small little LAN as equivalent to a larger one. That isn't the point, and you know it.
