Today, after the announcement of the list of participants in CCT Online Finals 3, the organizer's Twitter account was taken over by angry fans of the Argentine team BESTIA. The fact is that the three best South American teams, according to the CCT rating, were supposed to receive invitations to the event. However, 9z, who were leading the table, declined the invitation due to their participation in the ESL Pro League Season 18.

BESTIA, as the fourth team in the ranking, expected that a slot at CCT Online Finals 3 would go to them, as a similar story happened at CCT Online Finals 1, when the table leader Fluxo refused to participate and its place was taken by Corinthians, who were on the fourth place.

The organizers stated that only the top three teams in their region are guaranteed an invitation, and the time constraints following 9z's decision to withdraw made it "extremely difficult" for the Argentine team to organize a trip.
