Cloud9 to attend BLAST Pro Series Istanbul, Liquid replace them at ESL One New York
Cloud9 are set to attend BLAST Pro Series Istanbul, scheduled for late September, the organizers have announced on Twitter. Due to the collision with ESL One New York, this means that Cloud9 will not play in the American event despite being previously invited.
Shortly after, ESL announced that Liquid, recent grand finalists at the ESL Pro League Season 7 Finals, have been invited in place of Cloud9 to ESL One New York. This makes them the second confirmed team after FaZe.
Here is the new, almost full, team list for BLAST Pro Series Istanbul:
Astralis | Cloud9 |
Ninjas in Pyjamas | Space Soldiers |
Virtus.pro | TBD |
and the current team list for ESL One New York:
FaZe | Liquid |
Invite | Invite |
Invite | Qualifier |
Qualifier | Qualifier |
Liquid's next LAN outing will be StarSeries i-League Season 5 starting May 28th, while Cloud9 will next appear at the ECS Season 5 Finals on June 8th.
