SAW to Replace Eternal Fire at IEM Melbourne

Eternal Fire has announced their decision to skip IEM Melbourne 2025.

According to the official announcement by ESL, the organizer initially invited the next teams in the Valve ranking, but G2 failed to obtain visas in time, while Astralis and FURIA declined the invitations.

SAW received an invitation and accepted it. As a result, this team will replace Eternal Fire at IEM Melbourne 2025.

IEM Melbourne 2025 will take place in Australia from April 21 to 27. The tournament features a prize pool of $300,000.
