Astralis invited to IEM Oakland
Astralis are the latest team to be invited to compete at IEM Oakland, ESL has revealed.
With the announcement, ESL brings the number of teams up to four, after Virtus.pro, SK Gaming and Team Liquid were all previously invited.
Astralis recently bowed out of ELEAGUE in the quarter-finals following a 0-2 defeat against mousesports.
Before that, the Danish giants were in attendance at ESL One Cologne, finishing top eight despite playing the tournament with two stand-ins for the most part as Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen had to undergo surgery due to a potential appendix infection.
