ESWC has released the three invites for the female CS:GO tournament that will be held later this year.

Last year's ESWC Montreal champions CLG Red, Team Secret and More Than You are the first three sides confirmed for the $15,000 tournament, which will take place from October 27-31 as part of the Paris Games Week video game trade fair.

There will be four qualifier spots (three for Europe and one for North America), and also a spot reserved for a French team, who will be determined by an application process.
