SK and FaZe invited to IEM Sydney 2018
The finalists of IEM Sydney 2017, SK and FaZe, will return to the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia, where they will look to take home the lion's share of the $250,000 prize pool.
The number of teams competing at the event in Sydney was doubled compared to the 2017 edition, with SK and FaZe becoming the first two of 16 teams set to compete in May. The event also features a double elimination group stage and a best-of-five Grand Final. This is a result of the standardization of ESL's tournament format in 2018.
The two teams were announced with a few hours in between. Here is a link to the FaZe announcement tweet: https://twitter.com/IEM/status/968289588467789824
