Virtus.pro invited to IEM Oakland

22-7-2016 22:13

ESL has announced that Virtus.pro have been invited to attend IEM Oakland, later this year.

The Polish giants are the third team confirmed for the event, joining SK Gaming and Team Liquid, both of whom were formally invited last week.

Virtus.pro were recently in attendance at ESL One Cologne, taking third-fourth following a 1-2 defeat against SK Gaming, who would go on to win the tournament, in the semi-finals.

Virtus.pro to compete at IEM Oakland

IEM Oakland will take place at the Oracle Arena from November 19-20, with the prize fund still to be determined. There are now nine spots up for grabs, and ESL has so far remained silent on whether they will all be filled through invites.

The tournament will see the 12 teams split into two groups of six teams, with the top three sides advancing to the playoffs. Both group winners will earn a bye to the semi-finals.

The list of participants for the event now consists of:

Liquid

Virtus.pro

Welcome @TeamVirtuspro to the line up of teams competing at #IEM Oakland!https://t.co/hMeggYBKf0

2016-07-22 23:28

Why is liquid in this tournament? Now that s1mple is gone they aren't even a top 25 team in the world. Inviting them would be like inviting Luminosity now (with whatever new roster they pick up (if any)). Luminosity is just as much Columbus champion as Liquid is Cologne runner up.

2016-07-23 00:48

ez!

2016-07-23 00:53

I wonder if they will invite G2.

2016-07-23 01:40

virtus.premier online has been invited because they would lose any qualifier online vs pro teams :D

2016-07-23 01:59

"virtus.premier online" omg let's talk about offline tournament and compare 90% USA scene with VP. VP > USA ps. Canada csgo pro scene is fucking joke so stfu

To all who talking about VP.G2A it cannot happen due stickers. Valve probably don't accept this like device nick change in this year.
