Astralis receive first iBUYPOWER Masters 2019 invite
The organizers of the iBUYPOWER Masters 2019 event have announced the first of eight teams invited to the January tournament - Intel Grand Slam winners Astralis.
The Danish team have just come off the back of winning the ESL Pro League Season 8 Finals over familiar foes Liquid, where the win granted them the $1,000,000 Intel Grand Slam Season 1 prize. Now, they've received an invite to the first non-Major related tournament of 2019 in Hollywood, CA, where they'll look to start off 2019 in a similar vein of form to the dominant performances that they ended 2018 with.
Astralis are currently scheduled to attend BLAST Pro Series Lisbon next, as their final event of the year. This will be Astralis' first time attending an iBUYPOWER event, having missed out on both previous Masters tournaments.
The current team list for iBUYPOWER Masters 2019 is as follows:
