A Tweet from @ESLRainbowSix told fans to tune in following EU play day #4 for the direct invite reveal and the group stage seeding show.
Most fans were primarily eager to find out which team would be revealed as the last confirmed team attending.
G2 Esports have not returned to their previous dominant form, instead going through a roster change, but will be looking to defend their Invitational crown.
The first Major of 2020 will see fifteen other teams including Team Empire, Giants Gaming, Team Liquid and Fnatic.
In the list of teams missing the event are Team Secret, Team Vitality, Evil Geniuses and Chaos Esports Club.
The wait is almost over.
