Copenhagen Flames replace Sharks at QI Banja Luka

Copenhagen Flames have been invited to play at QI Banja Luka after Sharks dropped out of the tournament, the organizers have confirmed to HLTV.org.

The Brazilian team's withdrawal comes as yet another blow to the Bosnian event, whose prize pool was cut down from $150,000 to $35,000 and the number of participants halved from eight to four after multiple teams suddenly opted out of the tournament.

Although no official reason was given by either the organizers or Sharks, the decision fuels recent rumors of MIBR targetting Ignacio "⁠meyern⁠" Meyer as a replacement for Lucas "⁠LUCAS1⁠" Teles.

Copenhagen Flames will play their last LAN of the year at QI Banja Luka

Copenhagen Flames will travel to Banja Luka next week instead with hopes of improving on their previous LAN showing at WePlay! Forge of Masters Season 2 Finals, where the Danes were eliminated in last place at the hands of Gambit Youngsters and Heretics.

The updated team list of the tournament running from December 14-15 looks as follows:

because he had already communicated that he wanted to leave, but offered to play in the major b/c of the roster lock(which they chose not to do).They obviously didn't kick him. Not using him in the major worked out pretty shitty for them btw...

Not every team opted out. August simply couldnt come cuz they didnt get their visa approved. Its almost 2020 its time to give esports athletes the same treatment as other sportsmen get. Its just unacceptable that teams from certain regions get fucked over and over just because the ambassies are run by a bunch of dickwads
