Immortals get IEM Oakland invite

ESL have announced that Immortals are the eighth team invited to IEM Oakland, which will feature a $300,000 prize pool and count towards the $1 million Intel Grand Slam. Due to the organizers reducing the number of qualifier slots for the event, there still remains a final invite. The invite comes on the heels of news that the team's most recent addition Vito "kNgV-" Giuseppe will be away from the team for at least two weeks due to visa issues. Due to IEM Oakland occuring in mid-November, it is currently expected that he would be able to attend.

The qualifiers for the event, which will offer teams from Europe, the Americas, and Southeast Asia changes at attending, will be kicking off in under two weeks time, and sign up is still available.

The current teams list for IEM XII Oakland is as follows:

Astralis	Cloud9
FaZe	G2
Gambit	Immortals
Liquid	SK
Invite	EU Qualifier
NA Qualifier	SEA Qualifier
