ESL has issued a statement to clarify the situations of Ricardo "boltz" Prass and Lucas "steel" Lopes in the ESL Pro League.

As recently reported, SK will be able to field loanee Ricardo "⁠boltz⁠" Prass at the upcoming ESL Pro League Finals, while Liquid will have to make do with coach Wilton "⁠zews⁠" Prado, as their newest member, Lucas "⁠steel⁠" Lopes, is ineligible to compete at the event.

According to ESL, boltz was transferred to SK's roster in the Pro League prior to the competition's November 10 trade deadline.

ESL confirms that steel's transfer took place after the trade deadline

steel, on the other hand, played his final match for Immortals on November 12 - two days past the deadline -, after which his contract was transferred to Liquid, rendering the player ineligible for the finals. The 24-year-old, who made his debut for Liquid at IEM Oakland, will make his next appearance for the team at the ECS Season 4 Finals, in Cancun, from December 15-17.

The ESL Pro League Season 6 Finals will take place from December 5-10 at the Sparekassen Fyn Arena, in Odense, with 12 teams facing off for the lion's share of a $750,000 prize pool.
