We are happy to announce that the tenth team heading this year to ESL One Cologne is Immortals! They will be the second Brazilian team to compete in the tournament, among SK Gaming, Virtus.pro, Cloud9, G2 Esports, FNATIC, Ninjas in Pyjamas, Natus Vincere, FaZe Clan and North. With a US$250,000, the coveted ESL One trophy and the chance to play in front of the legendary LANXESS Arena crowd on the line, we are looking at another unforgettable ESL One event.

Currently placed 12th in the CS:GO World Ranking, Immortals are not a team any opponent should underestimate. The team had a great performance at the recent IEM World Championship Katowice. They advanced to the playoffs with a 4-1 score in the group stage and wins against FNATIC, NiP, OpTic and Astralis. The quarterfinals, they played against North and took a 2-1 victory. Their tournament run ended in the semifinals with a 0-2 loss to FaZe Clan and finishing in the top four. Their most recent LAN performance was at StarLadder i-League StarSeries Season 3 where they did not make it to the playoffs, finishing in the swiss stage with a 2-3 record and losses to North, FaZe and CLG.

We are excited to see what Immortals will show us at ESL One Cologne. They proved more than once that they are capable of beating the world's very top teams. Will the manage to do it in Cologne?

See you in there!
