ECS Challenger Cup reschedule; MIBR return to competition

Evidently not looking forward to a season without one of the world's most popular teams, MIBR have been given a lifeline by FACEIT.

FACEIT have announced a new schedule for the ECS Season 6 Challenger Cup, effectively pushing back the schedule for the lower bracket to accomodate for the fact MIBR are currently competing in Turkey.

Originally the first round of the lower bracket was to be completed today, September 26th, at the same time as the second round of the upper bracket. This has now been pushed back to 6 PM EDT on October 1st, before the second round of the lower bracket which will be played at 9 PM EDT. Originally the third lower bracket round was also to be completed on October 1st, this has now been pushed back to 6 PM EDT on October 2nd, at the same time as the upper bracket and before the lower bracket finals, at 9 PM EDT.

FACEIT has confirmed to Dust2.us that the reschedule means that MIBR will return to the ECS Season 6 Challenger Cup, reversing their previous withdrawal. MIBR's tweet from last night announcing their withdrawal was deleted, a copy of which can be found below:

This leaves the next round of games as follows:

Upper Bracket Round Two
compLexity vs. Bravado
United States Gorilla Gang vs. United States AZIO
Lower Bracket Round One
United States lmfao vs. Brazil FURIA
Brazil oNe vs. Brazil MIBR

The ECS Season 6 Challenger Cup will continue tonight in the upper bracket, with compLexity vs. Bravado and Gorilla Gang vs. AZIO both taking place at 9 PM EDT.
