GODSENT to miss Pro League Relegation; eXtatus match postponed

GODSENT's ESL Pro League relegation match against eXtatus has been postponed due to the winter storm that has hit the United States.

According to a Twitter post from Simon "⁠twist⁠" Eliasson, the flight carrying several of the Swedish team's players was forced to turn back to Germany due to poor weather conditions in the US, which are wreaking havoc at several airports in the country.

The other Upper Bracket Round 1 match, featuring Space Soldiers and Natus Vincere, will go ahead as normal, with the rest of the tournament due to played at a later date, either online or offline as part of a different event.

GODSENT unable to travel to New York for the Pro League relegation stage

This is the first time that the Pro League relegation stages have been held on LAN. Eight teams - four European and four North American - will be taking part in these two double-elimination bracket tournaments, with two Pro League spots up for grabs per region.

They have the right to enjoy their christmas holiday and vacations around new year, so it’s not fair in my opinion. If you haven’t celebrated new year at home, you can have a busy schedule in the first week, so it‘s normal that you book your flight as late as possible.

The other teams went there 1 week before the event.Why they didn't celebrate new year.Because they know they have an event in the first week of the year.That's why,in my opinion, the rules should not be flexible like this.

I just didn't see it mentioned anywhere. And I mean I wouldn't even care if it was about FaZe or Fnatic but Extatus is not a big organisation and I'm pretty sure they cannot just throw their money around like the afore mentioned companies.

Because Extatus stayed longer in the US only because of the ESL Relegation Stage and since ESL decided to postpone the match instead of canceling it, Extatus should get at least a minor compensation for their troubles.
