Spacestation will get to keep the ECS spot that the players won while playing under AZIO, FACEIT Director of Esports Roald van Buuren has announced.

FACEIT's decision was made public at the same time as Spacestation formally unveiled the team, who secured entry into ECS following a forfeit win over MIBR and a 2-0 victory over Gorilla Gang in the Challenger Cup.
