Formerly known as 4Clover & Lepricon, Mamas Boys took the final series in front of Kaipi last night with 2-1 final score and will join the eight invited teams for regional qualifiers.
After they eliminated two of the contenders at the one spot available in open qualifiers#1, namely Steak Gaming and STARK eSports, Pittner "bOne7" Armand’s team, chocked in the finals in front of Mamas Boys and will have to start all over again in the second round of open qualifiers.
Undergoing a few roster changes after the departure of Jerry "EGM" Lundkvist to Alliance only two days before the Winter Major roster lockdown, 4C&L also decided to start the road to TI6 with a new name.
Mamas Boys roster:
Pelle "Pajkatt" Olsson Lille
Mohammad "hook" Al-Sheikh
Alaan "SexiBamboe" Faraj
Yazied "YapzOr" Majnoon
Martin "Saksa" Sazdov
