NiP, EnVyUs pull out of CEVO finals

CEVO has announced that Ninjas in Pyjamas and EnVyUs have decided against attending the Season 7 finals.

Last week, HLTV.org reported that EnVyUs would most likely miss the event due to roster changes at hand, which will see the DreamHack Winter champions recruit Kenny "⁠kennyS⁠" Schrub and Dan "⁠apEX⁠" Madesclaire from French rivals Titan.

EnVyUs and Ninjas in Pyjamas have now informed CEVO that they will not be able to attend the season finals, scheduled to start on Friday, due to "last minute unforseen circumstances."

The news increases the number of European teams to have withdrawn from the event to three after fnatic also relinquished their spot in the $75,000 competition. It is also likely to fuel speculation that NiP could also undergo roster changes before the ESL One Cologne major, which is just one month away.

Replacing the European duo at the CEVO Finals will be Tempo Storm and CLG, who finished fourth and fifth, respectively, in the North American professional division.

The groups draw has been remade to reflect these changes, and it looks as follows:

Group A	Group B
Cloud9	Virtus.pro
mousesports	Luminosity
Liquid	Null element Na`Vi
CLG	Tempo Storm
