The finals for European Nations Championship are closing with heisting steps. Today it’s announced that Spain will be replacing France at the finals, due to a schedule with too much activities for the French players.

Two teams qualified directly to the ENC finals, being Denmark and Sweden after finishing first in their group. Determining who should join them in Leipzig, would be found in two relegation matches between teams finishing second and third in the two groups. Spain went up against France while Germany played Russia. France beat Spain and Germany beat Russia.

Today it’s however announced that France will not be present at the ENC finals later this month. The team is unfortunately not able to compete in the ENC finals. Replacing France will be Spain who played them in the relegation match. The French team stated following regarding the cancelation of their participation:

Due to a schedule with too much activities, the CS1.6 players won't be able to go to Leipzig for the ENC Finals. We would like to free our slot in order to allow another team to go there. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
