The first team to be invited to attend the event is the hometown team of Astralis, which won't come as a shock to many considering they are from Copenhagen and also owned by Rfrsh Entertainment.

The location of the second event was revealed at the start of February, along with the first invited team, the 'home town heroes' Space Soldiers.

Despite the best efforts of Kristian "k0nfig" Wienecke who ended the 3 map series with 80 kills, 47 of those coming on his team's map choice, it was not enough for Optic Gaming as Renegades won 2 maps to 1 to secure the last place at the DreamHack Masters tournament in France.

In a hectic few days, transfer news has been none stop in a race to beat the roster lock for the ESL Pro League. One of the main story-lines has been the unforeseen departure of Markus "Kjaerbye" Kjærbye from Astralis to North and who would be replacing him.

North have a press conference scheduled today to announce a big roster move, but that appears to have been leaked by Lukas "gla1ve" Rossander, the Astralis captain. As he tweeted:

After a long time away from the keyboard it looks like Nicolai "device" Reedtz is back in Astralis. He announced the news via his personal Instagram, where he posted an image on his story with the caption "Guess who's back". The fact that he's back on the starting roster is strengthened by his girlfriend, Emilia Hult, answering a Twitter user's comment over the past weekend that Reedtz, who lives in Sweden with Hult, is currently in Denmark to practice with the team.
