ESL Challenger Atlanta invites revealed

29-7-2024 21:11

FlyQuest, BIG, BetBoom, and M80 have been directly invited to the American event.

FlyQuest are currently the highest-ranked team in attendance

ESL has revealed the invites for ESL Challenger Atlanta, set to run from October 4-6. The $100,000 event will consist of eight teams arranged into two GSL groups, which will feed into a single-elimination playoff bracket.

FlyQuest are the highest-ranked team currently in attendance after receiving one of the ESL World Ranking invites along with two other top 30 teams in BetBoom and BIG.

M80 took the 'Local Hero' invite as the third-highest-ranked NA team in ESL's ranking. The team recently lost Mario "⁠malbsMd⁠" Samayoa to G2 and replaced him with Mason "⁠Lake⁠" Sanderson, who had a trial by fire at the Esports World Cup and averaged a 0.85 rating.

The remaining four spots will be decided by the regional qualifiers, with Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania all receiving one spot.

The current team list looks as follows:

Australia FlyQuest
Germany BIG
Europe Europe qualifier
North America NA qualifier
Russia BetBoom
United States M80
South America SA qualifier
Oceania Oceania qualifier

Mongolz got invited to IEM Rio which starts the day after Atlanta ends. So there would be some logistical issues
