3DMAX to replace BetBoom at IEM Cologne

5-8-2024 19:16

The Russian team is unable to travel to Germany because of visa issues.

3DMAX will attend IEM Cologne instead of BetBoom

BetBoom will miss IEM Cologne 2024 due to visa issues, ESL announced Monday. Filling in for the Russian team at the showpiece event will be 3DMAX, per the ESL Pro Tour's Team Replacement Rules.

BetBoom had earned a spot in the Play-In stage of IEM Cologne via the ESL World Ranking. IEM Cologne would have been the first tournament of the season for the Russian outfit, which hasn't played an official match since YaLLa Compass in June.

BetBoom were set to attend the Skyesports Championship but withdrew from the tournament citing "unmet promised conditions" by the Indian tournament organizer, as well as fairness concerns.

3DMAX will take BetBoom's spot in the Play-In bracket, which will put them on a collision course with 9z in the first round of the double-elimination stage.

Date	Matches
IEM Cologne 2024 Play-in
07/08/2024	3DMAX 13:50 9z	Match

The invitation comes as a major boost for the French team, who are riding a wave of confidence after winning the Skyesports Championship last month. Monday's ranking update saw them achieve their peak rank of 18th in the world.

Slated to begin on August 7, the Play-In stage will feature 16 teams competing for eight spots in the group stage. All matches will be played in a best-of-three format after ESL decided to remove best-of-one games for the tournament.

That is what you get for dodging skyesports tournament and badmouthing against India. I hope you do not get to play a single T1 event and only attend your own shitty dacha tournament.
