V4 Future Sports Festival invites revealed

The organisers of the V4 Future Sports Festival have revealed the names of the four teams that have been invited to attend the Counter-Strike tournament.

MOUZ, Virtus.pro, Ninjas in Pyjamas and MIBR have all accepted invitations to compete at the €300,000 (~$335,000) tournament, which will be held on September 21-22 at an as-yet-undisclosed location in Budapest.

The first two were the finalists of last year's event, where MOUZ came out victorious in a hotly-contested final series. Both teams have just two remaining players from the squads that competed in the tournament: Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool and Chris "⁠chrisJ⁠" de Jong in MOUZ, Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski and Michał "⁠MICHU⁠" Müller in Virtus.pro.

For Ninjas in Pyjamas and MIBR, the V4 Future Sports Festival will be their second post-Major event as they are both due to attend the BLAST Pro Series stop in Moscow, a week earlier.

The four invitees will be joined by the winners of four online qualifiers, three of which reserved for teams from the V4 countries (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland), while the last one is open to teams from all over Europe.
