Who´s taking part?

We got a stacked participant field for the first bigger event of the new year after WePlay Academy League Season 3. Next to the four invited teams, Astralis, Entropiq, Fnatic and Gambit, four teams managed to qualify themselves for the event! BIG and Extra Salt took the first two places at Funspark ULTI 2020, while K23 and ECSTATIC managed to qualify via the European Points Ranking.

Astralis IGL: gla1ve
Astralis AWP: gla1ve
Astralis Riflers: Xyp9x, Lucky, k0nfig, blameF
Astralis Coach: ave

The four invited top teams were not active on the transfer market during the winter break! While with Gambit and Entropiq the two CIS lineups have been playing together for some time, Astralis signed two new players at the beginning of November and Fnatic strengthened themselves with smooya as the new main AWP in October! Since his signing, the team around ALEX could achieve some great event results and their first appearances in 2022 are eagerly awaited.


Funspark ULTI lineup of fnatic:

fnatic IGL: ALEX
fnatic AWP: smooya
fnatic Riflers: mezii, Brollan, KRIMZ
fnatic Coach: keita

Astralis, around the two new signings blameF and k0nfig also have a lot to prove after an, understandably, mediocre finish to the year! The German top team BIG will compete at the Funspark ULTI for the first time with faveN, while Extra Salt will participate in the event together with Grim and junior! However, the official lineup for next season is not yet fixed at the North Americans!


Funspark ULTI lineup of Extra Salt:

Extra Salt IGL: JT
Extra Salt AWP: junior
Extra Salt Riflers: FaNg, floppy, Grim
Extra Salt Coach: T.c

K23 and ECSTATIC are probably the two underdogs in the high-class field, although the Danish organization could show up with numerous good results towards the end of last year, winning the Pinnacle Fall Series #3 and the Malta Vibes Knockout Series #3, among others.


Funspark ULTI lineup of ECSTATIC:

ECSTATIC IGL: birdfromsky
ECSTATIC AWP: WolfY
ECSTATIC Riflers: maNkz, Daffu, FASHR
ECSTATIC Coach: none
