G2 Esports replaces Cloud9 at League of Legends IEM Katowice
After Cloud9 dropped out of the 2016 IEM Katowice tournament, ESL had to find a quick replacement for the North American roster. As it turns out, G2 Esports is the answer to their prayers.
G2 currently holds the top spot over in the European LCS with a 6-0 record and are considered by many to be the standout team in the league. They will be joined at Katowice by their European brethren Unicorns of Love and H2K.
The other teams include M19 (formerly Albus NoX Luna), Kongdoo Monster, ROX Tigers, EDG, and Flash Wolves. Interestingly, that means there won’t be a single North American team at the tournament.
IEM Katowice starts on February 25, so head over to the Yahoo Esports League of Legends hub for full coverage.
