ESWC announced that last year's champions Fnatic will not be defending their title this year as they had to cancel participation due to tight schedule.

Once more ESWC had to correct their participants list, as last year's champions Fnatic  have had to cancel their participation due to a tight schedule. Fnatic had almost a flawless run in the last year's edition of ESWC as they dropped only one map in the whole tournament. They bettered Team LDLC in the finals 2-0.

Due to a tight schedule, Swedish team @FNATIC won't attend #ESWC. They are replaced by French renowned team @Titanorg at Montreal
