IEM New York: Online announced, to feature as Fall Regional Major Ranking event in North America and CIS

3-8-2020 17:39

ESL has announced IEM New York: Online, which will begin on October 6th and feature as the last Regional Major Ranking event in North America and the CIS region.

The tournament will also have a European division, which will be played as a typical tournament, without points on offer in the Regional Major Ranking. A combined $250,000 prizepool will be distributed among the three regions, with $140,000 allocated to Europe, $60,000 to America, and $50,000 to the CIS region.

EG will be in the lead of RMR rankings in NA after Liquid's lineup change

Twelve teams will participate in the two events featuring RMR status in NA and CIS, eight of whom will be invited directly based on the current standings of the ranking, with the remaining four coming from an unannounced qualifying stage. In each region, the next four teams by the RMR ranking will receive invites to the closed qualifier.

Each of the tournaments — including Europe, where eight teams will be in attendance — will begin with two double-elimination groups, leading into a single-elimination playoffs bracket.

Preliminary invites have gone out to the following teams in North America and CIS, with Europe's participants yet to be revealed:

North America

Spirit

Natus Vincere

Virtus.pro

Ez 4 nitr0 Oh wait

1 by 1 all LANs will fall

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

EU same number of participants as scenes with less spots??? Wtf ESL???

This is only cis and na

2020-08-03 17:47

2020-08-03 18:47

In EU its not major points just normal tournament

2020-08-03 18:59

Seems like I can't read

2020-08-03 19:41

Liquid or Furia gonna win RMR NA while Na'vi gonna win RMR CIS. Y'all saw it here first

Online tournaments in October damn, the chances of a major are dim

So major will happen in November, but somewhere else outside of Brazil. Great news.

2020-08-03 17:45

lol,new york and cis

2020-08-03 17:46

that's because s0mple said thathe hasbad ping on russians servers, so they'll play on NY servers

2020-08-03 22:28

why not keep a lan in the Europe Version?

2020-08-03 17:54

For all we know, it might be a LAN

2020-08-03 18:31

Hopeso

2020-08-03 20:26

ez BIG

2020-08-03 17:51

CIS - wasted money

UA - dead scene

2020-08-03 17:59

UA isn't CIS

2020-08-03 18:01

It is even if not officially

2020-08-03 18:03

Eu seems riggable, invite north, and they qualify whatever score, same for heretics and most likely mouz, so the fair play would be to invite the top 6 in eu and rest fight in a qualifier

2020-08-03 17:56

nice

2020-08-03 17:58

online tournament in october kekw rip pro cs

2020-08-03 18:02

Poop

NA region top teams playing with same teams again and again

2020-08-03 18:06

The prize pool distribution is a joke. Europe gets the most despite the event being called "ONE NY" and not counting as RMR And why is it taking so long to officially cancel the Rio major? It won't be happening

2020-08-03 18:07

7/10 in top10 is EU 13/20 in top20 is EU. Best region should get the most. Tbh NA gets way to much, especially when talking about spots to LANs. So many shit NA teams get to attend over good EU teams.

2020-08-03 19:40

Why is it NY if it's online? Edit: Ez for NaVi and EG

2020-08-03 18:12

Cancel major already dont make it happen online please

2020-08-03 18:32

new york major pls we got a great crowd here and one of the few states with covid under control rn

2020-08-03 18:48

RIP LAN I look forward to ESL NY every year((((

2020-08-03 18:55

The fact they say ESL Major instead of ESL Rio Major confirms Rio won't happen and Valve is busy planning another ESL event to host the major for this year.

2020-08-03 19:44

EG wins in NA. Spirit wins in CIS.

2020-08-03 20:30

0/8 navi will rekted spirit like last time

2020-08-03 21:38

First of all learn English please. Second of all, NaVi looked totally trash lately, while Spirit looked really good, and I'm sure they are going to win vs NaVi without much of a problem.

2020-08-03 23:44

literally last competitive match navi played they beat spirit 2-0, holy shit you are retarded

2020-08-04 03:38

If you think what happened more than 2 months ago matters, then you are retarded.

2020-08-04 10:49

envy can you qualify for at least one more tournament this year?

2020-08-03 20:32

Rip Rio Major ???

ez for NaVi

2020-08-03 20:55

+1 Btw dude I was wondering if you are banned cuz I havent seen comments from in a while

2020-08-04 14:01

They silenced me for a week and deleted over 180+ comments of me in NaVi threads. They thought this would discourage me and that i would stop supporting NaVi and s1mple. But they dont get it. I will support NaVi and s1mple till my last breath
