ESL One Belo Horizonte closed qualifier teams revealed

9-4-2018 22:20

ESL has revealed 14 teams that will take part in the closed qualifiers for Belo Horizonte in three different regions.

ESL has provided information regarding the teams invited to the closed qualifiers in South America, North America, and Europe, with four teams in each of the first two and six teams in the latter. Having more teams, the European qualifier will also grant more places in the tournament, with two teams going through as opposed to one team in both North and South America.

fnx's NTC will be in the SA closed qualifier

Some of the more prominent names on the list for the $200,000 tournament in Brazil are Não Tem Como and Luminosity from Brazil, as well as Isurus from Argentina in South America, Renegades and NRG in North America, and Envy, North, and Gambit in Europe.

The four qualifying teams will then go on to play at ESL One Belo Horizonte in mid June, where they will join FaZe, Liquid, SK, and MOUZ, the invited teams. All of the teams invited to the closed qualifiers are:

South America
Não Tem Como	Isurus
Luminosity	FURIA

North America
Renegades	NRG
Rogue	Torqued

Europe
Gambit	Envy
North	BIG
Space Soldiers	Quantum Bellator Fire

GL to all teams maybe NTC wont disband before the event

2018-04-10 00:39

2018-04-09 22:50

sk won't hire kngv , you know the reason xD

2018-04-11 21:14

ntc is overrated (you can't) change my mind

2018-04-09 22:55

i agree

2018-04-09 22:57

Unlikely

2018-04-09 23:26

No team one? Wtf???

2018-04-09 23:53

Lol

nicee

so fkn excited although i thought maybe NTC would get a direct invite like SS for blast but i respect that , they dont deserve it

2018-04-09 23:14

2018-04-09 23:21

Sk got direct invite

2018-04-10 00:05

Yes, a team with a professional behavior and consistent showings (not so much lately but that's understandable due to the drama) got a direct invite.

2018-04-10 04:35

Its too risky to invite that team directly

2018-04-10 10:25

true i mean they are in SA qualifier, they should qualify fairly easily if they deserve it

2018-04-10 12:29

EZ for SS

2018-04-09 22:23

2018-04-09 23:23

2018-04-09 23:24

Rip C9

Brazil too scared that c9 might best so in the finals again LMAO

2018-04-09 22:27

2018-04-10 01:47

No c9 ?? Astralis? Ntc w horvyy?

2018-04-09 22:22

I think it will be Horvy, he was saw training with felps No Astralis, but put QBF, non-sense

2018-04-09 22:32

Astralis surely was invited but declined the invite same with C9 imo

i didn't know about it, thx for the info

2018-04-09 22:37

thats not an "info" he is just guessing

2018-04-09 23:10

ECS finals at London ends on the 10th this tournament begins on the 13th and ends on the 17th then they travel to Istanbul to play on the 23rd. Most likely Astralis denied and will focus on Blast Pro since is made by Rfrsh

2018-04-10 00:52

no vp

Wtffff cloud9?????

where is AGO?

Why not VP? :(

OMEGALUL

No Fnatic, Astralis, G2

Must have declined.

obviously declined.

2018-04-10 14:54

why furia and not team one ?

T1 will play NA Qualifiers

Team One decided to not go to the tournament and compete in NA. Plus they'll have WCA Finals in the same period at China.

thx man

Lol no c9

yea probably

2018-04-10 23:12

LG in SA qualify ? Uadafuq is that

8 replies

They’re scared to play na qualifier

2018-04-09 22:42

O think this too. Hahahaha. It selfsh from then, since they're takin off The change of a Brazilian Team in a small scene. They play in NA and have ALL they need... But, ITS life right. O hope they, furia or NTC get The spot

2018-04-09 22:47

NTC and LG should play from their respective regions , it’s selfish and not fair to the sa scene who’s is playing tournaments here and waiting an opportunity like this for months . If they can’t qualify from eu/na what are they doing there?

2018-04-09 23:35

Exactly. This is my point.

2018-04-09 23:39

mobile.twitter.com/SK_deadcsgo/status/98.. lul

I would need a bit of help with the translation

2018-04-10 00:47

Dead(sk manager) is pissed off because Yeah! wasn't invited, he is saying that because he believes SA qualifier should be just for teams that play in SA.

2018-04-10 03:07

I see, thanks irmao

2018-04-10 03:16

Ez for nrg ss & isg

WTF is this? BIG ENVY AND QBF?! OMEGALUL

Ez 4 XANTARES

Astralis?? Fnatic??? C9??

I think they declined because of the clusterfuck June will be

2018-04-10 00:53

Why do the event organisers keep inviting QB in closed qualifiers? They haven't shown too much since ELEAGUE major, but who am I to judge them after all...

wtf is this shit? nv, qbf ,big omegalul

As hard as it gets, GL Isurus <3

ez 4 Detona Gaming

How many teams must be classified?

I guess they are gonna invite more teams? (He says in hopeful angst)

C9 don't wanna go cuz someone might kill FNS for not proving it.

Hiko too Why Rogue so?

"kill Fns for not proving it" I luled so hard ty.

2018-04-11 02:58

No Fnatic, Astralis, NaVi, G2, VP, NiP I can't understand why not play a 200k event, with 1 point for grand slam. If FaZe and Mousesport (top2 in world) can play, why these teams cant?

12 replies

200k isn't much by todays prize pool standards

And why faze and mouse are coming? I don't think VP and NiP have so much 200k tournaments to play

Because they want to/or don't want to That's the answer to your question. Have a nice day

Wouldnt surprise me if NiP wants to focus fully on the minor.

2018-04-10 11:23

I didn't look dates of the minor, that's a possibility

2018-04-10 12:24

True but this event IS part of the grand slam, which is $1 million to the team and this event contributes to it.

That is the point.... Nip and VP for example don't play them every day, I sad because I like that and scheduled a 700km travel... But still having good teams

2018-04-09 22:33

ps. I'm thinkink that they receveid invite and declined

Understandable, they didn't want to risk their lives by coming to Brazil.

2018-04-10 11:19

Thats bullshit, Belo Horizonte is bar far better than Rio and even Sao Paulo, any team will have no problems, as they haven't in EPL 4

2018-04-10 12:26

who wants to travel all the way to brazil and have a 50% chance of getting robbed?

2018-04-10 14:55

You say that as if they will be walking in peripheral streets at 3am.... They get out the plane, goes to hotel and then with a van to the venue

2018-04-10 15:18

wow nice, NTC! Good luck boys! We smart, we loyal, we friendly, we are from BRAZIL! Kreygasm

Easy for NTC, Renegades and SS

QBF, BIG and EnVy but not AGO OMEGALUL

Smart Move from the NTC guys

I cant believe QBF actually gets invites..

QBF? AAAAAHHHHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAH WHAT A JOKE

Kinda hard to believe Cloud9, Astralis, Fnatic, G2, NIP or NaVi won't be at this event.

yep :/ many of them must have declined due to packed Schedule or afraid of Brazil lmao

afraid of Brazil Unless you're full of gold in a favela, you have nothing to worry about.

2018-04-09 23:59

Prove it or I’ll kill you

2018-04-10 04:23

2018-04-10 14:56

VP is the best team in the world(out of brazil) for brazilian crowd :( why no invite? envy is a good invite, brazilians loves scream, why kebabs, big, qbf, north, gambit and NA tier 5 teams WHY?????? but brazilians like swag too

2018-04-10 00:25

-Quantum +VP or Kinguin

2018-04-10 00:26

The invite teams seem way ahead of the qualifier invite teams, is there another event going on at the same time?

2018-04-10 00:38

They prolly declined.

2018-04-10 01:57

Torqued Steel on LAN, hypeeeeeeeeeee

2018-04-10 00:49

LG and NTC in SA? WTF?

2018-04-10 00:50

Rogue and no c9

2018-04-10 01:07

That's a bad line-up. Jeez...!

2018-04-10 01:14

I think it'll be Luminosity, Renegades, North, and SS.

2018-04-10 01:36

Where's Detona ? :C

2018-04-10 01:55

Go Isurus!!

2018-04-10 01:58

No fnatic? hahaha nice try ESL, Brazil event is just trash

2018-04-10 02:12

Where is fnatic? Where is Astralis? Where is NaVi? Where is G2? Cloud 9?

2018-04-10 02:22

I'm pretty sure some of them declined the invitation. June is pretty stacked with a lot of tournaments! This event is only 3 days after ECS finals, for example.

2018-04-10 03:10

JUN will have 4 events... ECS SEASON 5 - Day 7 - 10 DH Summer - Day 12 - 14 Belo_Horizonte - Day 13 - 17 BLAST Pro Series: Istanbul Day 23 - 24 astralis fnatic can play DH Summer who is in the same date as ESL ONE BELO HORIZONTE , That's why they are not playing the qualifier or some like that

2018-04-10 06:32

You forgot StarSeries season 5 that ends on June 3rd.

2018-04-10 06:46

That’s a lot of events for one month

2018-04-10 13:49

On the other hand march and april were so empty.

2018-04-10 22:28

What about NiP? Astralis? Fnatic? NaVi?

2018-04-10 03:17

EZ 4 Torqued

2018-04-10 03:45

qbf hah best legend

2018-04-10 04:36

i think cac, ecs, and blast series is in june as well. That might explain some top 10 teams not participating in esl one

2018-04-10 04:37

Fuck this belo Horizonte

2018-04-10 06:26

Fuck you :)

2018-04-10 07:04

Fuck yo balls

2018-04-14 11:53

why?

2018-04-10 22:02

Wtf were is VP : (

2018-04-10 06:29

go SS go NTC

2018-04-10 06:51

Torqued, it's time.

2018-04-10 07:03

No it'll be NRG or Renegades for sure...

2018-04-10 07:19

Torqued still has a very good chance

2018-04-10 07:24

Why the fuck do they keep inviting QBF

2018-04-10 07:05

cuz major legends u get invites xddddddddd

2018-04-10 08:00

why is LG playing the SA qualifier ?

2018-04-10 07:21

because they wouldn't qualify in the na qualifier...

2018-04-11 03:00

But the right qualifier for them is the NA. They may be Br's, but they're a NA based team, they don't live here or take any tournaments from SA...

NO C9 LOL

2018-04-10 09:19

many good teams probably didn't want to take part C9 Included

2018-04-10 10:00

Ez for SS

2018-04-10 10:01

RIP VP

2018-04-10 11:17

quantum,envyus and big instead of any other better team from europe come on?

2018-04-10 11:22

tell me team that is in paper better than envy?

2018-04-10 14:44

tell me team that isnt on paper better than envy,cuz envy is losing to everybody right now.

2018-04-10 15:03

u mean they are losing in prestige leagues like ecs and esl. so tell me who is better?

2018-04-10 15:04

Dude they won 3 maps in 3 weeks,they are awesome dont they? XD btw.we will see their power on dh marseille

2018-04-10 15:09

not saying they are good. honestly in my opinion they are bad , but in paper who is better? everyone is inconsistent as fuck , but i can agree that big and qbf are wasted spots

who will be NTCs 5th?

2018-04-10 11:25

probably Horvy

2018-04-10 14:48

G2?????

2018-04-10 11:27

hahaah BIG??? No AGO or VP lol. Now BIG is really bad

2018-04-10 11:44

You stupid Poland...

2018-04-11 06:36

well this event invited top teams like faze, mouz, but no tier1 team like navi, c9, astralis, G2 is included in the qualifiers. And we will see the four invitees rek the qualified teams' ass.

2018-04-10 13:20

read #183 #195

2018-04-10 15:00

Why FURIA instead of TeamOne? And why Rogue and Torqued instead of Cloud9? These teams are neither ranked... I'm sorry, but this league is very Tier 3-4 for me.

2018-04-10 13:28

Team One declined the invite due to having a schedule clash with WCA Finals and some other reasons

imo NTC will take the spot very ez. The NA spot is the hardest one to pick but I think Torqued will take the spot. The 2 european spots will probably be filled by North and SS

2018-04-10 15:20

Unbiased opinion: QBF and not VP? wtf

2018-04-11 23:40
