Cloud9, MIBR headline confirmed teams for B Site CSGO League Dreamhack \/ ECSCloud9, MIBR, Dignitas, Gen.G, MAD Lions, and ex-CR4ZY have all joined the B Site CSGO League, according to a report by ESPN, with the North American-based rival to ESL Pro League set to start in March. Some of North America\u2019s most iconic organizations have partnered with FACEIT\u2019s B Site League for 2020 as the race to secure CS:GO top talent steams forward. Brazilian fan-favorites MIBR and the new Cloud9 roster will headline the rival competition to ESL Pro League. Both teams were invited by ESL to play in the league, but declined the offer or didn\u2019t respond to the tournament organizer. A revitalized Dignitas roster featuring Ninjas in Pyjamas veterans Patrik \u2018f0rest\u2019 Lindberg, Christopher \u2018GeT_RiGhT\u2019 Alesund, and Adam \u2018friberg\u2019 Friberg are also one of six teams confirmed for the tournament, according to ESPN. Gen.G, MAD Lions, and ex-CR4ZY (now c0ntact) have also signed on with B Site. The league reportedly has a $2 million franchising fee, giving teams access to the revenue share model, as well as players also receiving a cut of all money earned through the new league. More teams will be drafted through an online qualifier with more than \u201csix figures\u201d on the line, according to a tweet from Duncan \u2018Thorin\u2019 Shields. The league will finish up with around 10 to 12 teams, although it\u2019s unclear as to whether more teams are expected to get invited or if remaining slots will be filled by the qualifiers. “”B site”” plans already included an online worldwide qualifier, but in light of the disgraceful betrayal by ESL of players and teams who had qualified for\/had EPL slots until today, we’re expanding our system and including additional money for teams who qualify. pic.twitter.com\/BhNTEejVjv \u2014 Thorin (@Thorin) January 25, 2020 The team announcement comes after a week of controversy between ESL and the B Site organizers. ESL revealed the 24 teams invited to Pro League Season 11 on January 24, with a whole new format alongside it. However, at the time of announcing, none of the teams had officially signed to the league, with Thorin cutting ties with the tournament organizer over slashing half of their originally-planned 48 slots for the big event, leaving some teams hanging to dry. \u201cIn light of the unethical and unprofessional behavior of ESL over their EPL dealings I won\u2019t be working with their org under any circumstances until the people responsible are named and fired or leave the company,\u201d he said. Players like Oleksandr \u2018s1mple\u2019 Kostyliev have also called out ESL, labelling the late change \u201cpathetic.\u201d B Site League will take place in Los Angeles, starting sometime in March. It will feature some of CS:GO\u2019s most well-respected talent, including Auguste \u2018Semmler\u2019 Massonnat and Anders Blume. It will also be Christopher \u2018MonteCristo\u2019 Mykles\u2019 first time casting CS:GO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
