VISA issues mean that both Natus Vincere and Space Soldiers will be directly replaced by G2 Esports and Legacy Esports respectively, with no changes to the already drawn groups.
IEM Sydney gets underway next week, and whilst last minute changes are not desired they can not always be avoided. With not all players on either team being granted Australian VISAs in time.

Last night the final spot at the DreamHack Masters Marseille 2018 tournament was filled, as Renegades overcame Optic Gaming.
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.

The third and final Quarter-Final for the day was to be the Americans of Cloud9 versus G2.
The first map was Cloud9's pick of Mirage, and as such they started out on the Terrorist side. The pistol round went the way of the French side, but the American (desert) eagles answer back and the match balanced out once more at 1-1. After a slightly stressful timeout, the game was restarted and Cloud9 go on to take two more rounds. Eventually the first half came to an extremely close 8-7 half in favour of the American side. The second half however started out with a six rounds straight for the Cloud9 side and things were looking frightening for the Frenchmen. G2 only picked up one more round before they found themselves facing match point and that is where the map ended, 16-8 for the Cloud9 side.
