ECS organiser FACEIT has revealed the invite list for the North American Challenger Cup.
Complexity, Splyce and Rise Nation, all of whom had made their way through the qualifiers, have received invites to the Challenger Cup, joining Ghost and four qualified sides.
Immortals were initially due to compete in the cup after finishing at the foot of the table last season, but the North American organisation decided to forfeit their spot as they currently cannot field a starting line-up.
Thirteen teams will be taking part in the closed qualifier, featuring a single-elimination bracket. Dignitas, Mask Off and Rogue have all been given a bye into the second round of the qualifier, which will run from February 17-19.
Below you can find the first round of matches:
 Dignitas | vs. | BYE |
 Bravado | vs. | Iceberg |
 TeamOne | vs. | 2K |
| Mythic | vs. | LFAO |
| Mask Off | vs. | BYE |
| F1-racecar-PEEK | vs. | BlackOut |
| Etherian | vs. | Wise |
| Rogue | vs. | BYE |
