forZe replaces Renegades at ESL Pro League Season 14

Team forZe will take the place of Renegades among the participants of the fourteenth season of ESL Pro League. The reason for the replacement was the inability of the Australians to fly to Europe due to the restrictions imposed by the authorities of the Pacific country against the background of the coronavirus pandemic.

Team update: With the current travel restrictions being applied in Australia, @Renegades have withdrawn from #ESLProLeague S14.

ForZe received an invitation to the prestigious tournament based on the ESL rankings, as they are the best team among those who did not have a slot in the championship. In the current version of ESL World Rankings Renegades is in 19th place, and forZe is in 20th place.
