The Finns of ENCE eSports have replaced fnatic as the ninth and final team in ESEA Invite Season 15, which is starting any day now.
fnatic announced their intention to drop out of ESEA Invite a while back in order to focus on the many LAN tournaments coming up later this fall, including ESWC, MSI Beat it! and DreamHack Winter.
Originally the replacement team was announced to be AWESOME, who placed second in the vote while still possessing Jacob "Pimp" Winneche in the roster, but the Danes have also turned down the spot.
