The William "⁠mezii⁠" Merriman-led side are the fifth team confirmed to play at the $200,000 Finnish event taking place in November.

fnatic have been announced as the fourth team directly invited to participate in Elisa Masters Espoo, which will run from November 16-20 and see a total of 12 top teams compete on LAN just days following the end of IEM Rio Major.

The tournament's organizers previously announced that ENCE, BIG, and MOUZ would take part in the $200,000 event after accepting invitiations, and four more direct invites are yet to be revealed.

fnatic will play in Espoo in mid-November

The remaining four participants will come from other Elisa-organized events, including HEET, who won the Spring Invitational, two teams from the currently ongoing Fall Invitational, and one more from an unannounced Elisa competition.

fnatic are currently the world's 19th-best team as per HLTV.org's world ranking. The team around mezii made it to the playoffs at ESL Pro League Season 16 last month before faltering to Liquid in the round of 12, and qualified for IEM Rio Major with a 3-2 record in IEM Road to Rio Europe RMR A tournament.
