ESL reveals IEM New York EU invites

11-8-2020 18:45

Eight teams will battle it out in the European tournament, which will have $140,000 on the line.

ESL has released the full invite list for the European division of IEM New York. Current World No.1 and No.2, BIG and Vitality, headline the team list for the tournament, which will have ESL Pro Tour points on the Road to Katowice on offer in addition to the prize money.

Despite IEM New York not being an RMR event in Europe — DreamHack will host the Valve-sponsored tournament in the region —, ESL was still able to put together a strong set of teams that features the six highest-ranked European sides at the moment. The final two spots will be determined by a four-team closed qualifier, in which OG and another invitee will lock horns with two teams coming out of the ongoing open bracket.

Vitality confirmed for IEM New York's European division

The complete team list for the tournament, which will kick off on October 6, looks as follows:

Meanwhile, ESL has announced that Chaos, Envy and Bad News Bears have declined invites to the IEM New York's NA closed qualifier and will be replaced by Yeah, Ze Pug Godz and New England Whalers. In the CIS, CR4ZY will step in for pro100, who opted not to take up their invitation to the region's closed qualifier.

Almost lost??? The third map ended 16-3.

2020-08-11 19:20

jealous because you have to watch the same 3 matchups every week in your dying scene "almost lost" = won and last map wasnt even close

2020-08-11 20:53

It was a joke and I watch almost all EU matchups as well lmao. Just bc im from Na doesnt mean thats all I watch.

2020-08-11 21:34

Big is shit. Device has more Major wins then Big has LAN wins think about those numbers. Big barely deserves top 10 the only reason there #1 is because of all this only stuff and the player break.

noone deserves a top 1 spot nor top 3 spot atm

2020-08-11 19:27

i agree on that one, i can say that vitality were looking good but eh

2020-08-11 19:47

but someone has to be top 1, so who should it be?

2020-08-11 20:23

The most common excuse for Astralis fans lmao. BIG've by far been the best team in the recent online tournaments, therefore they deserve the #1 spot. Astralis were the best on LAN, therefore they deserved the #1 spot at the time. The dynamics of the game can evidently change due to external factors, and the teams who adapt the best, will be higher placed than those who can't.

2020-08-12 13:04

Don’t know who is #1 don’t know because everything is online no real way to tell vitality looking meh Navi looking good Liquid with the roster changes lookin nice

2020-08-11 19:58

Them not having success in the past means that they will suck in the upcoming events? What kind of logic is that?

2020-08-11 19:09

Fan of twistzz and NA flag you shouldve known he is delusional

2020-08-11 19:14

big has more LAN wins in 2020 than astralis tournament wins 2020

2020-08-11 19:46

2020-08-13 21:13

they weren't even successful on ONLINE when they were shit on LAN. They didn't pass online qualifiers for tournaments, they were out of top40 but they worked hard and managed top1, cry is free. try to blame your stupid loser teams how they are losing continuosly against "shit BIG"

2020-08-14 03:25

Zywho

lol got mad confused bc i forgot this wasn't the eu rmr

should have called it IEM York bc York actually (almost) is in the EU

2020-08-11 22:20

This online shit's got me confused. So many online tournaments with so much confusion about which are for which other tourney qualifier , which one is the RMR , who plays where etc. Its annoying

they said that Dreamhack is gonna be the last RMR

Why mention it here on a completely different tourny news of a completely different organizer and confuse everyone. TY though

2020-08-11 19:51

Kinda funny because Godsent is even Online bad. Did they ever win a tournament? "GODSENT are not playing events at the moment." rofl, soon out of top 30

2020-08-11 19:05

0/8. BUG shouldnt even be in top 25 lol. When it switched to online BUG climbed like hell.

Kinda funny because Godsent is even Online bad. Did they ever win a tournament? "GODSENT are not playing events at the moment." rofl, soon out of top 30 BIG #1 for 6 weeks now, Godsent soon out of top 30. Oh man i can smell the salt, stop crying

2020-08-11 19:07

"Kinda funny because Godsent is even Online bad" England is not your city. Try: "Kinda funny, because Godsent is bad online", if thats what you are trying to tell us. Godsent is #17, they are not out of top 30 soon, nice bs. Of course BUG is #1 for 6 weeks now, because they are playing online CS for the whole year.

No arguments as expected reminder: BIG #1 Godsent soon out of top 30, because not invited to any tournament salt cry

2020-08-11 19:11

Arguments? I am trying to understand what the f*ck you are typing lol? BUG is not gonna be #1 for very long and Godsent will climb even more in ranking, so 0/8.

no disrespect for GOD Clan BIG Clan.

Your brain is that of a almond Big is barely top 10 it’s a bunch of old fags who even know that they arnt #1 your delusional

2020-08-13 21:18

lmao maybe BIG won't be top 1 when LAN tournaments come up but they'll stay at top 5 if they keep working hard. it's not 2019 BIG it's complete different BIG. they always practiced at this online season and they worked way harder than any team and they worked in a LAN environment. not to mention they find hardest smokes, nades, and flashes across all of the maps and their strat book is really strong. they have pretty skillful players as individual skills. this is so obvious and if you can't see and understand this, you're delusional not me. and i checked your profile and you're Choke2 and ChoKo fan that's why you're mad af. braindead.

2020-08-14 00:01

All your points although factual are extremely exaggerated

It's new York but it's in Europe

2020-08-11 22:47

The city of New York will be relocated to Europe temporarily to allow the EU teams to compete after the NA matches are over. During this time period, the city of Amsterdam will not be available not after the tournament as it will be razed to make room. Thank you for your understanding.
