The Esports World Cup organizers have unveiled the names of seven elite teams invited to compete in the prestigious tournament set to commence on July 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Alongside FaZe, the tournament will see the participation of G2 and Vitality, both notable for their performances in Major playoffs, as well as Virtus.pro and MOUZ, rounding out the five European teams slated to compete.

Representing the Americas, FURIA and Complexity have been granted the two available invitations, highlighting the tournament's global appeal.
