The Danes will seek to reverse their current form after disappointing exits from ELEAGUE Season 1, ESL One Cologne 2016, and the ECS Season 1 Finals.

IEM Oakland will take place at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California on the weekend of November 19th and will feature twelve teams, 9 of which have yet to be announced. Additionally, IEM Oakland will use the following format, which is identical to IEM Katowice:

Astralis have experienced a steady decline in their global ranking following their semifinal finish at MLG Colombus 2016 and have struggled at recent lans due to roster changes and the unexpected hospitalization of their captain Finn "karrigan" Andersen. The Danes will return full strength to the United States and will undoubtedly be prepared both in terms of bootcamping and counter strat-ing.
