fnatic confirmed at Elisa Masters Espoo

10-10-2022 16:24

The William "⁠mezii⁠" Merriman-led side are the fifth team confirmed to play at the $200,000 Finnish event taking place in November.

fnatic have been announced as the fourth team directly invited to participate in Elisa Masters Espoo, which will run from November 16-20 and see a total of 12 top teams compete on LAN just days following the end of IEM Rio Major.

The tournament's organizers previously announced that ENCE, BIG, and MOUZ would take part in the $200,000 event after accepting invitiations, and four more direct invites are yet to be revealed.

fnatic will play in Espoo in mid-November

The remaining four participants will come from other Elisa-organized events, including HEET, who won the Spring Invitational, two teams from the currently ongoing Fall Invitational, and one more from an unannounced Elisa competition.

fnatic are currently the world's 19th-best team as per HLTV.org's world ranking. The team around mezii made it to the playoffs at ESL Pro League Season 16 last month before faltering to Liquid in the round of 12, and qualified for IEM Rio Major with a 3-2 record in IEM Road to Rio Europe RMR A tournament.

The Elisa Masters Espoo team list now looks as follows:

ENCE

MOUZ

fnatic

Elisa Invitational Fall

HEET

Could be a win

2022-10-10 16:34

heroic, c9 or g2 invitation would be dope and a decent deal for those teams due to their lack of lan titles (prolly wont happen though) also bringing in a br team could be a smart move due to viewership

2022-10-10 16:36

hope they bring in g2 and NIP

2022-10-10 16:38

I think G2 prioritizes Blast Finals even if they are missing out on the major. But you never know.

2022-10-10 16:51

Lol, HAVU has no place in this tournament looking at the teams that are invited so far. But yeah, they could be invited for the sole reason of being Finnish.

2022-10-10 16:59

NIP and Astralis now that it seems Astralis is missing out on both major and the Blast finals. Although, if they are going through a profound rebuild we might not see their new roster in action until next year.

Idk man, btw do you know who is Snax?

2022-10-10 18:07

For Dutch, he is a hero. For others, he is who wanted for your country. For hater, he is the most annoying and unavoidable threat. For fans, he is their parent. For roeJ, he is just "Fashe 🙂". Perhaps someone had to tell him this hero's name.
