SK invited to Moche XL Esports

SK Gaming have been invited to compete at Moche XL Esports, the event's organisers have revealed.

The Brazilian giants become the third team confirmed for the Portuguese event, joining Tempo Storm and HellRaisers, who were previously invited.

SK, who will take on FaZe at 22:55 in the quarter-final stage of the ESL Pro League Season 7 Finals, accepted the invitation after failing to qualify for the ECS Season 5 Finals, with the two events being held on the same dates.

SK and fox's Tempo Storm will meet in Lisbon

Originally called the Mercedes Benz CS:GO Cup, the tournament was renamed for reasons that remain unclear, although the prize purse remains the same, $50,000. Four invited teams will be joined by the winner of an Iberian qualifier and by the team coming out of Master League Portugal in this competition, which will be held from June 9-10 at Altice Arena, in Lisbon.

The team list for the Portuguese event is currently the following:
