This announcement comes weeks after MIBR and Hard Legion had their RMR points reset due to their former coaches abusing the coach spectating bug in previous RMR tournaments. Ricardo “dead” Sinigaglia from MIBR and Aleksandr “⁠MechanoGun⁠” Bogatiryev from Hard Legion received a six-month and two-year suspension, respectively, from the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC).

Chaos will replace MIBR at IEM New York North America since Anthony “vanity” Malaspina and crew were the next team in line based on the North American RMR standings. Hard Legion, on the other hand, will be replaced by the winner of Invictus Gaming vs. HellRaisers, the teams that finished in fifth and sixth, respectively, in the CIS closed qualifier.

MIBR aren’t the only team out of IEM New York North America, though. ESL also announced that Gen.G, Swole Patrol, and Yeah Gaming have withdrawn from the event due to roster issues. RBG and Rebirth, the next two eligible teams from the closed qualifiers, will take two of the available spots. The third open slot hasn’t been finalized yet. ESL will provide more updates in the future.
