MC, Bomber, KLG.Tunico, and mYi.ABomB have received invites to IEM Sao Paulo, joining eight players from the online qualifiers in the group stage stage of the tournament. The groups are as follows:
According to mYi's pengWin, no other players after MC or Bomber applied for the invite spots (invite spots do not have flights and accomodations paid for, unlike qualifier spots), leading to the somewhat unexpected invitations of Tunico and ABomB.
IEM Sao Paulo will take place between January 28 and February 1st, with the players competing for $25,000 in prize money. It is a WCS Tier 2 event, awarding 4,000 total WCS points as well.
