Isurus drop out of FLASHPOINT Global qualifier

20-2-2020 23:51

Isurus have been forced to withdraw from the FLASHPOINT Global Qualifier due to a schedule conflict with the Americas Minor qualifiers, it has been announced.

In a statement, the Argentinian organisation explained that they were unsuccessful in their attempt to reschedule the South American closed qualifier for the Americas Minor after "some teams" opposed moving the tournament to a new date.

FLASHPOINT has not yet announced a replacement for Isurus, who finished in first place in the South American qualifier after defeating Neverest, RED Canids, DETONA and Redemption POA.

Isurus will not attend the FLASHPOINT LAN qualifier

The Global Qualifier will be held in Los Angeles from March 3-5, the exact same dates as the Minor closed qualifier. The top two sides will secure entry into the FLASHPOINT league, joining the ten franchise partners, who have each paid a $2 million entry fee to be part of the project.

The team list for the FLASHPOINT Global Qualifier currently looks as follows:

I mean that why would you drop out of flashpoint global qualifers? Its better than minor which they will anyways not qualify for

kinda weird considering they have a better chance of making this league over the major

minor > shitpoint

2020-02-21 00:02

2020-02-21 00:15

but shitpoint easier opponents and more money

Polish stage < tier 20 teams

2020-02-22 19:56

2020-02-21 00:27

How? There is like 2 spots while they will have to fight with strongish teams.

2020-02-21 03:50

Why the fuck would they schedule it at the same time as the closed qualifier? fucking idiots

2020-02-21 00:40

Now we see the importance of a league within a team. Even they paid 2 million but the minor qualifier is so important than the flashpoint. That's show the importance of ESL!!

yeah, but i think we'll see great games imo they'll fight with everything they have just cuz the opportunity

2020-02-21 14:43

ya it sucks that this league doesn't have any of the top 10 teams, but i'm excited to watch it anyways, i'm still interested in tier 2 cs, and i hope it'll be a chance for players like steel and vsm who have been blacklisted by valve

2020-02-21 16:19

i really hope so too, cuz tier 2 players today are the tier 1 players tomorrow xD

2020-02-21 18:13

So sad :(

2020-02-21 00:01

oh wow, who would have thought that after putting their qualifiers on the same date a few teams would have to withdraw...

2020-02-21 00:03

good chance for AVEZ and skade. I hope both of them makes it.

2020-02-21 00:05

Replace with Sinners pls.

2020-02-21 00:07

Nice joke.

2020-02-21 00:18

Nothing new: Isurus withdrawing of a lan outside the region

2020-02-21 00:14

Ez DETONA BOLUDOS

2020-02-21 00:17

yes, detona got as$f4cked in the qualifier, only chance for them to qualify was for isurus to drop out.

2020-02-21 00:53

2020-02-21 09:49

detona take the spot?

2020-02-21 00:19

Really sad, I hoped Isurus would have the chance to prove to the world that they are the best SA team. Should replace them with Sharks aka fake Isurus. I will root for Orgless in this one.

2020-02-21 00:20

Sharks also competes in the minor closed qualifier on the same dates.

2020-02-21 03:27

And the schedule conflicts begin fokes! take your bets! 10 teams? 20 teams? we will see.

2020-02-21 00:21

Fucking shame, shit B tier event... ESL waaaaay better.

2020-02-21 00:24

Top league hahaha trash as Thorin

2020-02-21 00:25

GREAT QUALIFIERS. GOOD ONE TH OMEGALUL RIN

2020-02-21 00:26

so sad :(((

2020-02-21 00:28

wtf? if they qualify to B-site they will get like 5k salary or something like that? why would they waste this chance and go to minor...

Isurus is not an org? I thought it was. the 5k a month stipend is only for teams that don't have orgs

2020-02-21 00:55

Not true it’s for any team that qualifies that didn’t pay the 2 mil to join the league

2020-02-21 01:04

The qualifying process for B Site will have $100,000 on offer, with orgless teams who manage to qualify being offered a $25,000 monthly stipend for the duration of the season. Find out more about the qualifiers in our announcement post. This is off one of the flashpoint hltv articles

2020-02-21 01:07

Yes but they already said that any team that makes it threw the qualifying process will receive this salary, pretty sure to offset the fines for being outside of top 20, tho I think I read that article on rush b

2020-02-21 01:43

I don’t understand Isurus, they don’t have a chance to qualify for this minor. They’re loosing money here...

2020-02-21 00:33

Flashpoint fines teams who perform badly, so probably would have "lost" money either way.

they would lose more getting fined 100k from scam league

2020-02-21 00:36

Only the franchise partners can be fined for underperforming, not the qualified teams.

2020-02-21 01:09

what does that mean? if astralis lose 16-2 from let's say BIG, they would fine them?

2020-02-21 09:17

Franchise partners in FLASHPOINT are fined $100,000 a month if they are outside of the top 20 in a ranking approved by the CSPPA. This only applies to the ten partners, who have paid $2 million to enter the league and have revenue share. The two teams who come out of the qualifiers are safe from these fines.

2020-02-21 09:40

that sounds so stupid but k, ty for info

2020-02-21 09:56

Más vale pájaro en mano...

ahora pierde en primeras rondas del minor y F torneos lan...

2020-02-21 03:33

good getting dropped from scam league OMEGALUL

2020-02-21 00:49

LUL such a garbage event.

2020-02-21 00:54

SHAME ON THE COMPETITIONS

2020-02-21 00:56

FLASHPOINT could be a really good league imo, but the 100k fines for orgs who are not in the top 20 is ridiculous. They claim it's so teams will be forced to get more competitive and buyout star players but in reality unless they drop the 100k fines this league will never be on ESL's level. If teams already in the top 20 don't see value in joining flashpoint, then what incentive does it give teams who aren't in the top 20 already? "Do good or the org loses a ton of money and the roster gets dropped" doesn't seem like the kind of incentive players and orgs are looking for alike. The only reason I will watch this league is for Gen.G

2020-02-21 01:02

I like the concept of the fines, but it does make me wonder about the following things: - Will flashpoint teams ever assemble a team from scratch again (like OG/complexity etc. now), seeing as they might not be able to gain enough points in the ranking during their league (meaning they'd have to pay 100k a month (was it?) during the entire season). It might incentivice them to pick up a top 15 team and slowly try to build that into a better one. Something that might lead to never having a really great team. - Will ESL pro league teams make the buyouts of their players a lot higher, seeing as Flashpoint teams will lose 100k consistently if they don't buy out better players. This would be bad for the industry (inflated buyouts are never good imo), but good for EPL (teams) as it would keep the value of their league high. -

2020-02-21 01:46

The funniest thing is that 17 of the hltv top 20 are playing in epl season 11

2020-02-21 02:12

2020-02-21 01:30

I really hope Chaos qualifies. It would be great to see steel play more often in a league setting.

2020-02-21 01:41

expected from trashpoint

2020-02-21 01:51

What a bunch of retards, chances of getting a spot in that league are way higher than qualifying to a MINOR.

2020-02-21 02:35

You aren't very smart right?

2020-02-21 04:34

TRASHPOINT just lost the biggest heat their qualifier had. EZ for Wardell

2020-02-21 02:41

i knew flashpoint was going to have less quality teams, but looking like this, wow.

2020-02-21 04:06

Lulpoint is cursed and it will face hardtime like this every time

2020-02-21 05:26

Wow, creating a qualifier intending to be inclusive yet having it clash with minor qualifiers, forcing good teams to choose between your league and a chance at the most important tournament on the calendar. Smart.
