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.


Astralis to compete at IEM Oakland 

Scheduled for November 19-20 at the Oracle Arena, IEM Oakland will feature a total of 12 teams, with the prize fund still to be revealed by ESL.

The list of participants for the event now looks as follows:

Brazil SK United States Liquid Poland Virtus.pro Denmark Astralis

Tickets to IEM Oakland, which will also feature a League of Legends tournament, are on sale on the event's official website.

Astralis to choke again? I hope that they will something until the end of the year.
2016-07-28 21:35
Astralis should have been put directly in the finals, so they have some chance to win something
2016-07-28 21:36
They recently played like shit, there are other teams that deserve the invitation
