If I had tickets to IEM Melbourne I’d be pissed with the teams dropping out. With VRS the scheduling has become idiotic.
That said, we welcome the #1 NA CS team as a replacement at least > <.

Visa issues most likely or they didn’t want to lose to Vitality again in the finals.

Has Spirit provided any reasoning?

Vita have 1 fewer main rival on their Grand Slam quest.
Was really looking forward to Vita – Spirit final, Spirit would get a $100,000 “giant killer bonus” if they win. Hopefully Mouz can improve from their close 2-3 loss in Lisbon to win this time.

Lets go CoL!
Also the article said one player hasn’t gotten there visa. Wonder who it is. Be funny if TL have to run it back with JKS in Melbourne

I was real surprised when Spirit accepted Melbourne initially, since it was followed by Blast Rivals Mexico (initially) and then PGL Astana, so the travel schedule would’ve been insane. Also, it’s not like their top 6 positioning for the Stage 3 Major invite was ever in any real danger.
Wonder how this withdrawal affects their ESL partner payouts. They only allow 2 skips in 2 years, and they already declined the invite to Dallas, so this is their 2nd.

ESL needs to stop holding events in 3rd world countries.

This is great news for Complexity. Very excited to watch more of them, they’ve been a joy to watch in Bucharest.

Kyousuke time. Sad that vitality era is about to end so soon

Really weird, only logical thing is that the flight from Melbourne to Denmark for Blast is like 25+ hrs with only 3 days between events.
Another possibility is a roster move, most likely Kyousuke.
Spirit with 2 years in a row of not being able to beat top teams with deep firepower. Spirit cannot afford to lose Kyousuke and keep watching every other team get better. There are no real good solutions for roster moves if mONESY or Kyousuke isnt the ones coming into the team.

It’s either they don’t want to play 3 tournaments in a row, or they are bringing in kyousuke. I don’t think it’s visa issues, as they withdrew on april 4th.

Spirit dodging Vitality. Another Vitality vs MOUZ grand final ?

Tinfoil hats on.
WELCOME KYOSUKE TO THE MAIN TEAM!!!!!
serious note, I do wonder if they will make such a ballsy call during the mid-season. I would become an instant TS fan again if they do.
