CEVO has announced that Ninjas in Pyjamas and EnVyUs have decided against attending the Season 7 finals.

Last week, HLTV.org reported that EnVyUs would most likely miss the event due to roster changes at hand, which will see the DreamHack Winter champions recruit Kenny "⁠kennyS⁠" Schrub and Dan "⁠apEX⁠" Madesclaire from French rivals Titan.

EnVyUs and Ninjas in Pyjamas have now informed CEVO that they will not be able to attend the season finals, scheduled to start on Friday, due to "last minute unforseen circumstances."
