This decision comes in the wake of emuLate's embarrassing WCG qualifier campaign, where it crashed out of the tournament at the group stage after losing to aAa and Ubiteam.

Contacted by GotFrag.com, Mathieu "R!Go-" Bridet stressed that this decision was not caused by the early WCG qualifier exit.

"We made this decision before the WCG qualifier, this was not caused by the results, the admin was contacted by e-mail before," Bridet told GotFrag.com.

"This decision was made because of ioRek's school commitments and because I will be moving to another house."

Bridet also noted that emuLate will still attend the Global Challenges taking place in Montreal and Dubai, two events the French team has already signed up for.

Meanwhile, the ESL has confirmed that emuLate's replacement will be unveiled on Wednesday.

A provisional list of teams for Extreme Masters LA looks as follows:

Team Roccat
