BIG are the second CS:GO group to be immediately invited for Elisa Masters Espoo, a $200,000 LAN match that can run from Nov. 16 to twenty in Espoo, Finland.
ENCE have been the opposite group immediately invited and HEET certified for the occasion as a result of they gained Elisa Invitational Spring in July 2022. Elisa Masters Spoo will characteristic a complete of 12 CS:GO groups taking part in in two round-robin teams, and the highest three groups from every group will advance to the single-elimination playoffs.
BIG have been probably the greatest CS:GO groups on the planet previously years, having gained a number of on-line tournaments between 2020 and 2022 akin to DreamHack Masters Spring Europe in 2020, Funspark ULTI in 2020, and Roobet Cup in June 2022. They presently area Johannes “tabseN” Wodarz, Florian “syrsoN” Rische, Josef “faveN” Baumann, Karim “Krimbo” Moussa, Nils “k1to” Gruhne, and head coach Fatih “gob b” Dayik.
Elisa will immediately invite different six groups to Elisa Masters Espoo and the remaining three spots will likely be crammed by groups who earn their spot by way of Elisa occasions akin to the continued Elisa Invitational Fall and Elisa Invitational Spring like HEET did.
Though the group checklist for Elisa Masters Espoo already options two tier-one groups in type of BIG and ENCE, it’s unclear if the match organizer will persuade a top-five squad on the planet to play within the $200,000 occasion.
It is because Elisa Masters Espoo will likely be performed proper after IEM Rio Main, the second Valve-sponsored match of the 12 months, and one of the best groups on the planet like FaZe Clan and NAVI will more than likely need some relaxation earlier than attending one other occasion.
