ESC confirm ESEA attendance

25-3-2013 23:11

ESEA has confirmed via its official website that ESC Gaming will be the fourth European side at season 13 finals next month in Dallas.

The Polish giants will step into the shoes of Virtus.pro, who were last week forced to pull out of the tournament because of visa problems.

ESC finished in fifth place in the regular European season, with a 9-7 record, just three points behind n!faculty, who have secured the third seed following Virtus.pro's dropout.

As the fourth-seeded side, ESC will have to tackle North American champions Quantic Gaming in the quarter-finals of the Upper Bracket.

ESC to replace Virtus.pro in Dallas

The news will come as a timely boost for ESC ahead of Copenhagen Games. After winning SLTV StarSeries IV and the CS:GO tournament at IEM Katowice, the Polish team have failed to make their mark on the international scene, finishing in fourth position at Mad Catz Vienna before clinching the bronze at the four-team TECHLABS.

In the Danish capital, Filip "Neo" Kubski's side will have to go through Copenhagen Games' qualifier after failing to apply for an invite to the main tournament.

With ESC's addition, the quarter-final matchups of the ESEA finals, which will take place from April 19th to 21st, are now the following:

NiP	vs.	Netcode Illuminati
VeryGames	vs.	Team Dynamic
n!faculty	vs.	Curse
ESC Gaming	vs.	Quantic Gaming

n1. good news

Do you know who are n0thing swag adreN AZK and volcano? Seems like you don't. They can upset VERYGAMES. Curse can win n! and Quantic also. NiP will be the only one with a secured and easywin.

VG will lose from Dynamic any time. VG aren't that good anymore. They are lacking something.

2013-03-26 08:36

they are good but havent been stable

2013-03-26 10:06

hmm.. kennyS > azk scream > n0thing smithzz > volcano ex6tenz > adren NBK > swag theres no way VG will lose against that shit team

i actually see them losing pretty bad to dynamic but its probably just me

2013-03-25 23:29

ex6tenz > adren? are you actually being serious? ex6tenz is fucking horrendous. mad catz -50. lmao

2013-03-26 00:22

I think you replied to the wrong person

2013-03-26 14:28

i did, haha

2013-03-26 18:35

Dont be an idiot comparing players like that

2013-03-25 23:30

6 minutes faster :D and even his comparisons are wrong :D he probably never watched azk and is not aware of how skilled n0thing and swag actually are :)

2013-03-25 23:37

ex6tenz>adren? o_O

2013-03-26 00:01

if swag and n0thing are as good in GO as they were in 1.6 then VG are the underdogs tbh.

2013-03-26 00:36

VG has been performing worse since they added ScreaM. that's just a fact. A51/Quantic beat the better VG lineup at ESWC, and DYNAMIC might actually be better than Quantic right now. Time will tell.

2013-03-26 01:22

WHAT? VG beat them what are u talking about??

2013-03-26 01:26

They took a map (dust2) but it was mainly thanks to sean gares' awping performance.

2013-03-26 02:18

DaZeD was arguably the impact player of that match. Also, that's when VG made the finals of every tournament they attended, so they were undeniably the second best team in the world.

2013-03-26 03:09

ehmmmm no? they will lose

2013-03-26 02:06

All that matters in the end is (kennyS, ScreaM, smithzz, ex6tenz NBK) > (azk, n0thing, volcano, adren, swag) not individually. Remember, a champion team will always beat a team of champions.

2013-03-26 02:47

Curse will win over n!faculty'

pretty much spot on

2013-03-25 23:32

same shit ppl talking before ESWC and we know how it ended

2013-03-26 08:13

haters be hatin

2013-03-26 00:57

the only way you would have "went right in everything at ESWC" would be if you predicted that no german team could beat Area51.

proof?

2013-03-26 02:57

I'm sleepK, and Area51/Quantic ruined mousesports and nfaculty's entire weekend at ESWC. They were also 1 map away from placing second at the tournament.

2013-03-26 03:11

why are you taking shots at him and GER? He stood up for the possibility of American upsets. This is why people hate Americans, lets just shit talk all foreigners, shit talk eachother and shit talk people who stick up for us

2013-03-26 03:31

i thought he was shit talking north america. i'm a "come out guns blazing" kind of guy. oops

2013-03-26 07:03

I said they can win except prolly NiP so idk the point of flame against.

2013-03-26 13:27

stupid mad german ugly face. n! do shit on ESEA and you are shit either !

2013-03-26 08:14

You are mad. Watch urself randomie.

2013-03-26 03:43

seriously lol at the ignorance in this thread. team dynamic 1st place

You have just proved that you are an ignorant too mate.

I'd love to see them in the top3. They have the potential

2013-03-26 00:00

delusional kid

2013-03-26 02:56

Looking forward to this! Will be interesting to see how the americans do against some top european teams.

euros judging american teams like this is still 1.6 lol

2013-03-25 23:38

dont judge before the game kids :)

I'd say only NiP's game will be a whitewash...all other games have the potential to be really close. I don't think that all European teams will advance to the semis, we'll see at least 1 NA team there

2013-03-25 23:40

LU for these four americans teams?

ESC u show true skill for Russian brothers))

2013-03-25 23:47

1.NiP 2.interesting.. 3.Curse 4.interesting..

2013-03-26 00:07

love you esc

2013-03-26 00:13

good

2013-03-26 00:18

Noooooo, virtus! :(

2013-03-26 00:37

go esc!

2013-03-26 00:41

Go Netcode! Could be the first one to beat NiP :)

2013-03-26 00:56

Discussion is kind of pointless BEFORE they play, but it would be good ifsome US team placed on high spot (like top3) to keep interest in the game in USA :P CS needs US player base.

Good to see the US teams in action finally :)

2013-03-26 01:12

I don't even follow our own scene here so I'ma root for NiP (although Quantic had a great showing at ESWC, so I'd like to see them do well too).

2013-03-26 01:17

NIP vs Netcode Illuminati - NIP Wins VeryGames vs Team Dynamic - VeryGames Wins n!faculty vs Curse - Curse Wins ESC vs Quantic - Quantic Wins (50/50) In the end, the champions would be NIP as always!

2013-03-26 01:21

ESC are going to have a tough first match as are n!

2013-03-26 01:35

gl EU.

2013-03-26 03:00

Good Money Speended from ESC

2013-03-26 03:40

gl Polish ,,, just need increasing aim ! thats it anothers things is fine ... like brain in game )

2013-03-26 06:52

actually TaZ is one of the best aimers in the world I'd say, Neo's one is not bad as well, imo ESC imroved their aim actaully since their first tournament in CS:GO

2013-03-26 09:51

neo is low so esc wont do any damage

2013-03-26 06:57

True, if you focus on frags only, as many people here look only on the scoreboard.

2013-03-26 10:23

bec we all remember neo as main fragger in team.. but now its taz

2013-03-26 10:29

Same thing. Neo and Taz switch position in cs;go :)

2013-03-26 10:34

yeah ... but esc need two main fragger if they want bright future

2013-03-26 10:36

pasha :)

2013-03-26 11:15

pfff, EU easy

2013-03-26 08:20

easy money for nip .. maybe vg gonna win some thing but others going for nothing

2013-03-26 09:49

Good!

2013-03-26 09:59

America vs Europe. How interesting.

2013-03-26 12:02

grand final NiP vs Curse

2013-03-26 15:22

why do people (even europeans) keep saying that Dynamic will gonna win vs VeryGames and/or will finish top3 in this tournament ? And what makes you think that they're better than Quantic ?
