FaZe invited for ESL Pro League

ESL has announced that FaZe have received the wildcard spot in the European division of the ESL Pro League.

The former G2 side, who signed for North America-based organisation FaZe Clan earlier in the week, have secured the final spot in ESL Pro League Season 3, which will kick off on February 9.

Just like Renegades, who were given the wildcard spot in North America, FaZe gain entry into the league without having competed in ESEA Premier, the second-highest division in the league system established by ESL and ESEA. This was possible due to the controversial changes to the relegation process, introduced by ESL in November.
