100Thieves will not be attending the ELEAGUE Major due to encountering "immigration issues", the team has just announced on Twitter.

ELEAGUE have yet to comment on the matter, although it is expected that 100 Thieves' slot will be allocated to the Main Qualifier, in which case it would produce nine teams as opposed to eight for the next stage.

UPDATE: ELEAGUE have confirmed that 100 Thieves' slot will go to one of the three teams going 2-3 in the Swiss round, who will then play deciding matches to determine the ninth team advancing to the Major's group stage (New Legends stage).

100 Thieves pull out of the Major

The Brazilian squad earned their slot after the majority of the lineup placed second at the PGL Major Krakow under Immortals, before the team split into two pieces as Henrique "⁠HEN1⁠" Teles, Vito "⁠kNgV-⁠" Giuseppe, and Lucas "⁠LUCAS1⁠" Teles went on to create the current 100 Thieves lineup alongside Lincoln "⁠fnx⁠" Lau and Bruno "⁠bit⁠" Lima.

The ELEAGUE Major would have been the team's LAN debut with the aforementioned roster, who spent several weeks bootcamping in Europe in preparation for the tournament.
