Renegades to miss FACEIT S2 finals

Renegades will have to forgo the FACEIT League 2015 Stage 2 finals due to an overlapping date with the ESL One Cologne Asian qualifier in Malaysia.

The former Vox Eminor squad managed to finish first place in the FACEIT League 2015 Stage 2 Oceanic division, defeating their rivals Immunity in a deciding match over the weekend.

However, an overlapping finals date with the ESL One Cologne Asian qualifier (which both Renegades and Immunity qualified for via their finishes at ACL Sydney) means that Renegades would have to choose between attending the FACEIT finals in Valencia, Spain or the Cologne qualifier in Malaysia.

Renegades will be unable to attend the FACEIT finals at DreamHack Valencia

Luke "⁠Havoc⁠" Paton has confirmed that the team will have to decline the sole FACEIT Stage 2 finals spot at DreamHack Valencia, taking place July 16-18.

Because Immunity finished second place in the FACEIT Stage 2 Oceanic division but have also clinched the second Oceanic pre-qualification spot for ESL One Cologne, the runner-up team will be unable to attend the FACEIT finals as well.

A replacement or workaround team will presumably be announced in the coming days.
