The qualification tournament for the eighth WC3L Season has just ended and all teams to participate were known. But there still was a big questionmark behind the name of 64AMD who lost most of their players lately. People asked themselves wether 64AMD would be able to build up a new team in time or not.
Obviously 64AMD wasn't able to get a new team or they didn't try it. They gave their WC3L spot to fnatic where some of the former 64AMD players aswell as the former 64AMD squadleader went to. This means that the last remaining question about the participating teams has been answered and the following twelve teams are going to participate in the eighth WarCraft 3 ChampionsLeague season:

Statements of JPB and triMble
Jan–Philipp "JPB" Bohlmeier (Project-Manager 64AMD)
"After some more discussion and argumentation, Team64.AMD and fnatic finally managed to find a solution for the WC3L Slot problem. As a result 64AMD will give its slot to fnatic and step back from any right to play the WC3L season 8."
Frederic "triMble" Steinfeld (Team-Manager fnatic.wc3)
"I'm very glad about the possibility given to us to participate in the WC3L once more. After some weeks of negotiations both AMD and fnatic finally agreed on giving the spot to fnatic. Now the team can focus on preparing for the next season and I'm very optimistic regarding this upcoming season."
