ESL Challenger League S51 Cup #4 invites announced

Season 51 begins April 26th.

ESL has announced the 106 teams invited to ESL Challenger League Season 51 Cup #4, with North America's invites including Voca, Wildcard, and more.

Cup #3 champions InControl are absent from the list of participating teams, but runners-up F5 and third-place regain are seemingly confirmed. Of the two teams that qualified through ESEA Season 56, Fisher College is listed, but not LAG. According to the ESL website, LAG and InControl have both declined their invites, among others.

With both FRAG 20 ending and Cup #4 starting on April 26th, the potential for scheduling conflicts exists. InControl and LAG both received invites to the Vegas LAN, as did Voca and Chicken Coop.

Given the disbandment of their previous roster core, Marsborne will unfortunately be forfeiting their matches. ex-SportsBetExpert are also expected to forfeit their matches as the players went their separate ways after winning the Dust2.us Eagle Masters Series #7 last weekend.

It is also unknown if BOSS will play the event in any capacity. It is possible the new Marsborne roster use the slot while using Ben "ben1337" Smith as a stand-in but this remains to be seen.

The full ECL team list is:

United States Voca
United States BOSS
United States Zomblers
United States FarmVille
United States ex-Marsborne
ex-SportsBetExpert
United States regain
Wildcard

United States Aether
United States Chicken Coop
United States Reign Above
United States F5
United States EMPIRE
United States Wanted Goons
Fisher College
United States Surge
