compLexity replace Rogue at ECS Season 7 Finals
FACEIT have announced that compLexity have replaced Rogue at the upcoming ECS Season 7 finals. compLexity were the team that finished as runners-up in the first series of ECS and as such receive the spot in their stead.
Rogue's problems started last week after reports that, once again, they were set to see their imported Danish players be acquired, this time by OpTic. Instead of wanting to re-build the roster for the second time in six months, Rogue instead withdrew from CS:GO just before last Friday's ESL Pro League roster lock.
This is the former Rogue team's latest tournament withdrawal, with the team having been replaced at the upcoming StarSeries i-League Season 7 finals by Chinese squad ViCi, due to one of the departing players' new teams suffering a scheduling conflict with the event.
compLexity's invitation also means that Hunter "SicK" Mims will still be in attendance at the finals having secured qualification with Rogue in the first week of competition. SicK joined the team in place of long-term stand-in Jordan "n0thing" Gilbert.
compLexity's promotion to the finals has meant that they have withdrawn from the third series and FURIA, who beat them in the semifinals of the second series, have been invited as a replacement. As such, the matchups for ECS Season 7 Series 3, with times in EDT, are as follows:
| April 25th | |
|---|---|
 Cloud9 -vs- Spacestation |
6:00 PM |
Singularity -vs-  Luminosity |
6:00 PM |
INTZ -vs-  Denial |
9:00 PM |
| Bad News Bears -vs- FURIA |
9:00 PM |
While it may appear curious on the outside that Liquid, MIBR, Renegades and eUnited have not elected to compete in that week, their absence is most likely down to the latter stages of the series clashing with travel to IEM Sydney, which starts on April 30th.
So far, compLexity and NRG are the only North American teams qualified for the ECS Season 7 Finals, with Astralis and North joining from Europe, which is scheduled to take place at the SSE Arena in Wembley between June 6th-9th.
