well, im pretty sure the opening matches are seeded by the ending places in the eps, the team who finish 1st, face the team who finished 4th while the team who finished 2nd, face the team who finished 3rd.
as you can see here: esl.eu/de/pro-series/season14/cs/5on5/ra..
alternate and nfaculty finished 2nd respectively 3rd, which they also did the previous season, as you can see here: esl.eu/de/pro-series/season13/cs/5on5/ra..
which by the way, also was the case the season before that, as you can see here: esl.eu/de/pro-series/season12/cs/5on5/ra..
haha, quite funny actually .. and it makes sense ;p

meh ESL-TV sucks, especially for people who are not able to understand the german language
not a kind move banning HLTV, they lose much more spectators than they win, and the majority of them will watch the freestream. So mainly ESL won't gain a single cent/penny/whatever and the spectator will only have half of the joy he could have :(

truthful and the target audience are the germans anyway, so it seems they don't want to win some international interested people over because otherwise esl would offer an english stream so...
ESL: fail! :D

lol d2 when i started playing (like 3 years ago) was online :P. It wasn't from the beggining ? there is open battle net and closed battle net europe/asia
and it would be really nice to have 2x stream. One national language, other english. Many people outside the ger watch it...
