29-7-2023 12:08

The 16 rosters competing at the $200,000 online tournament have been announced.

Apeks come into the online event as the highest-ranked team

The invites for the second CCT Online Finals event, starting on Wednesday, August 2, are now known. The tournament will feature 16 teams from all around the world, who will duke it out for the $100,000 grand prize in a double-elimination playoff bracket.

The tournament is the second Online Finals event since the circuit moved to an online setting, with FORZE claiming the inaugural title by emerging victorious from a pool of teams that included Ninjas in Pyjamas, BIG, and 9INE.

Headlining the invite list are Apeks and Virtus.pro, the former of which was recently eliminated from IEM Cologne after their loss to OG. The Nemanja "⁠nexa⁠" Isaković-led squad are also in attendance despite qualifying for the Cologne group stage, meaning they are in for a hectic few days of scheduling.

Other top-30 teams include Into the Breach, who failed to make an impact in the Cologne Play-In, alongside Bad News Eagles, SAW, and Aurora.

MIBR, Nouns, and Sojoga fly over to Europe after qualifying for the event with their performances in the CCT North America Series, the trio all claiming a title since the circuit entered NA.

The new-look Spirit and Movistar Riders rosters are also set to play in the $200,000 event, with their world ranking suffering due to recent transfer activity. Despite that, both teams have an outside shot at the title.

Rounding out the team list are Anonymo and Robin "⁠flusha⁠" Rönnquist's EYEBALLERS, alongside two teams sitting outside the top 50 in the world rankings in SINNERS and Zero Tenacity.

The CCT Online Finals 2 team list is as follows:

i agree that they are out of place here but it’s nonsensical to claim that ef deserve their place when they earnt it, ef should have maybe gotten an invite but there’s not many invited teams i can see them being a good replacement for

yeah maybe that's an event and organisation mistake anyway because we are well deserved to get an invite after beating ence and bne in the previous final event.
