ESL: No ownership conflict between SK/NTC for Belo Horizonte event

16/5/2018 - 00:57

SK Gaming and Não Tem Como will both be allowed to attend ESL One Belo Horizonte as the event's organisers have not identified an ownership conflict between the teams, ESL Tournament Director Jonas "bsl" Alsaker Vikan has told HLTV.org.

Não Tem Como are finally set to make their first LAN appearance after qualifying for ESL One Belo Horizonte, which will run from June 13-17 at the Mineirinho Arena.

The Brazilian event will come just weeks before Não Tem Como are expected to be officially unveiled by SK as a replacement for the German organisation's current team, who have been heavily linked with a move to Immortals.

NTC's attendance at ESL One Belo Horizonte is not at risk

This has raised fears of a potential conflict of interest and of a breach of the tournament rule stating that "each organization and its legal entity can only acquire one license per tournament."

However, when questioned by HLTV.org on this matter, ESL's Jonas "⁠bsl⁠" Alsaker Vikan stated that "both teams will be allowed to play as no organisation has a controlling interest in more than one team during the competition in Belo Horizonte."

In theory, this could mean one of two things: Não Tem Como's players are not yet legally bound to SK and will only be tied down to deals after the ESL One event, or the contracts of Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David's team will be terminated earlier than expected, which would allow the German organisation to be represented by the NTC roster in Belo Horizonte.

2018-05-16 01:40

Holy f*ck thats hilarious xd

2018-05-16 06:45

Would it be a possibility that the contacts* NTC signed don't come into effect until some later date? (i.e., after the event)

2018-05-16 01:02

Or it can also mean that SK/MIBR gave money to ESL so they keep their mouths shut and let them play. And we all know that ESL loves some money ;)

Hmmmm...no, you are Just trash talking

2018-05-16 01:58

I don't know why people are so sure that ntc lineup Will be the New sk team, even IF core +the 2 guys go to immt /mibr, probably they will sign an tier 1 EU team, not NTC guys.

low IQ detected or 0/8 bait

2018-05-16 02:17

you burro men? NTC was practising in SK's house in Cologne for 3 weeks

2018-05-16 10:27

So? Would be an big step down by SK

2018-05-16 17:19

Negam vistos, negam tudo, só o q faltava era essa regra ridícula barrar um time BR no nosso país!!!!

2018-05-16 02:05

Negam visto por que um imbecil tem que ficar soltando ameaças de morte no twitter... Depois ainda vem ser "homofóbico" no twitter de novo. Mano, os EUA leva a serio essa historia de estrangeiro entrar no país. Ao contrario do Brasil que entra qualquer 1 e tem mais direitos que tu que nasceu aqui e paga imposto.

2018-05-16 13:31

Serio mesmo que vc conhece tao pouco do cenario que pensa q o KNG foi o unico a ter problemas com visto? Duvido que tu teria coragem de falar dele dessa maneira na frente dele, isso demonstra que vc 'e um covarde, haterzinho atras do monitor. CALMA FILHOTE!

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk mano, falaria isso na cara dele. Foi vacilo o que ele fez. Não pensou na hora da raiva. Molecagem! Você ter problema de visto por demora em processo e etc e uma coisa. Você ter o visto recusado por ameaças e etc e foda. E essa a diferença. Se você paga tanto pau dele, ao ponto de ser um dos que fica. "Ai meu reizinho, vai passar, vai dar tudo certo, vai mimimimimi" Parabéns. Eu sou o tipo de amigo ou conhecido que se perguntar minha opinião eu ja chego com o 2 pés no peito. "Meu brother, tu vacilo para um caralho! Vê se na próxima não vacila." Entendeu a diferença tb?

Cara, infelizmente eu nunca terei a oportunidade de bater um papo de verdade com o cara. Quem dera esse ano eu tivesse a oportunidade de ir a BH e a sorte de ter a oportunidade de conversar com ele. O cara é sim um puta de um jogador. Mas vacilou filhão. Simples assim, tanto ele sabe que agora não e mais ele que cuida do twitter ;D

2018-05-22 15:31

To pagando pra ver seu video chegando na cara dele e chamando ele de imbecil

2018-05-23 08:16

Video?! Para mano, coisa de viadinho de internet igual tu falou. Outra coisa, vocês acham que o kng e o que? Bandido? Para 12 aninhos.

2018-05-23 14:57

Tu vai chega na cara dele e chamar ele de imbecil entao ne? kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

2018-05-25 12:28

ez 4 ence

Mibr is coming

2018-05-16 02:24

They say it can only mean two things, but it can also mean SK gaming doesn't drop their roster. How hard is it to believe they would want to keep a lineup that has proven successful over time?

2018-05-16 03:31

because they will go to immt/mibr lineup

2018-05-16 03:37

and who can confirm that? the man has a point

2018-05-16 04:00

It isn't only about sk dropping roster but also about the lineup signing new contract since their current one will expire soon

2018-05-16 06:28

What if the NTC turns MiBR?

2018-05-16 13:33

Yea who knows... Everything is possible I guess

NTC always have problems ........

2018-05-16 09:23

both will fail lol ez

2018-05-16 10:25

I believe they will not fail as hard as your 'french superteam' failed m8

2018-05-16 10:33

If it wasn't for NA's easier leagues, SK wouldn't have qualified to PL finals if they were playing in the EU Pro League. SK couldn't qualify to ECS finals, and G2 did it so ... Put G2 in NA leagues they would be in EPL finals (and ECS as well but they qualified easily as second seed in the EU league) and ECS, put SK in EU leagues, they wouldn't be qualified to any LANs so. SK is obviously worse than G2 ...

2018-05-16 14:00

lol dude now its the league that is too easy xD g2 is almost disbanding.. no excuses your superteam just suck, so dont trashtalk SK when u are not better.. see ya

2018-05-16 15:00

they both suck lol ez

2018-05-16 20:10

Also possible that the contracts with NTC players are signed but start on 1st of July while the contracts of the current team expire on 30th of June. SK would only have control over NTC from 1st of July and not from the time on they have signed the contracts. Signing contract =/= Start of contract Why should be there a breach of rules? This would mean that a football player or coach who signed for e.g. Real Madrid from 1st July wouldn't be allowed to play for his current team in the champions league, because he signed a contract which begins two months later??? This makes absolutely no sense. Means, it's possible that NTC signed the contracts and they start on 1st July and the contracts of the current team end 30th of June. This is the only fact that matters. /closed

2018-05-16 13:35

agree, shady or not unless there is a ruleset for situations like this you can't say anything.

2018-05-16 15:08

Correct. The only thing that upsets me in this case is that ppl even came up with the idea of a "conflict of interest". How is this a conflict of interest if the contracts start later, AFTER the contracts with the current lineup end? HLTV should also do their research before posting senseless news.

2018-05-16 17:14

Funny how the likes of Liquid and Mousesports are invited, but no room for high performing Astralis, who should be the very first name in tournament giving the form they have at the moment. Perhaps SK to scared to face them, so they are locked out. This tournament will always be remembered by it was only the second best teams playing and not the very best, how sad.

2018-05-22 13:17

they probably declined the invite dude.

2018-05-24 02:26

This tournament will always be remembered by it was only the second best teams playing and not the very best, how sad. you are delusional lol

2018-05-24 10:53
