XpreZ removed from EPS Scandinavia

ESL Pro Series Scandinavia is one team short as XpreZ is removed from the current season.

The Norwegian team XpreZ played their last match in ESL Pro Series Scandinavia this week against mTw. The team managed to get a very close match against the Danes, ending 16:14 in favor of mTw. XpreZ is however not longer to be found in ESL Pro Series Scandinavia, as the team have been removed due to accumulating too many penalty points. The team broke several rules in a short period and there was no way around the immediate removal of the team.

XpreZ produced penalty points which amounted to a prize money deduction above 35% of the overall prize money. Most of the players on the team did not have premium accounts, which is needed in order to participate in the league, which resulted in four minor penalty points.

The team did furthermore in the match against mTw use two ineligible players, xern and tacky. The players were added on 1st December, and were used on the 4th of December. New players shall wait one full playday, which in this case meant the players would have been eligible to play on the 15th of December.
This resulted in 1 major penalty point per player not eligible to play.

XpreZ also failed to upload the needed match media after their match against GamePlay, resulting in another 2 minor penalty points. This is end of the road for XpreZ’s ESL Pro Series adventure as they have been removed from the current season, plus banned from the current EAS and the coming EPS season.
