ClanBase NationsCup XII will be without two-times defending champions Germany, as the national team has decided to out-prioritize this year’s edition of NationsCup.

The Germany national team will not be found in NationsCup XII, meaning a new champion will for sure be found this season. The national team will focus on ESL ENC and with a tight schedule for the German teams, attending both ESL Pro Series and other majors, there won't be spare time for NationsCup this time around. Team Germany and mousesports manager Andreas "andreas_N" Noack states:

"We have decided not to participate in this year’s ClanBase NationsCup as we want to fully focus on this year’s ESL ENC. It was not an easy decision, as CB NC is still a great Cup, but due to tight schedule we had to set our priorities."

Group C is now left with five teams and a replacement will not be found, states ClanBase. Check out more action from ClanBase NationsCup XII tonight, as we have two matches to be shown.
