iBUYPOWER Masters 2017 is starting to release the names of the teams invited to this season's tournament, with North American teams Cloud9 and Liquid being the first two confirmed assistants.

The tournament, which is going on its third year, will once again be held offline in California, where eight teams—invited by the organization—will fight for a prize pool of $100,000.

After last year's event at The Hangar in Orange County, iBUYPOWER Masters is going back to the Esports Arena in Santa Ana, California, where the first edition of the tournament was played in late 2015.

The tournament will take place on November 11-12, and with Cloud9 and Liquid confirmed, six more spots are to be announced by the organizers before the event in Southern California.
