SLTV StarSeries V Finals viewer's guide

3-4-2013 20:54

Full schedule for SLTV StarSeries V Finals, taking place on April 4-7th at CyberSports Arena in Kiev, Ukraine, has been now announced.

The event will see NiP Gaming, Natus Vincere, Virtus.pro and ESC Gaming go head-to-head in a best-of-three, double elimination bracket with a total of $13,500 in prize money up for grabs.

No GOTV will be available, but there will be streams in various languages; NiPTV will be streaming in English, Knochen will stream in German and SLTV's own official stream will broadcast in Russian.

Can the Ninjas keep their strea alive or will someone snap it in Kiev?

Action is split over four days with two best-of-three series taking place on each of the first two days, with the consolidation final scheduled for Saturday and grand final for Sunday.

The grand final is setup so the winner of the upper bracket starts the best-of-five match with a one map advantage, thus needing to only win two maps, while winner of the consolidation final will require three wins to be crowned champions.

Thursday
15:00	Natus Vincere	vs. Virtus.pro
21:00	NiP Gaming	vs. ESC Gaming
Friday
12:30	Lower bracket final
18:00	Upper bracket final
Saturday
16:00	Consolidation final
Sunday
16:00	Grand final

Additionally, SLTV has informed HLTV.org that they will host a one-on-one tournament for the players participating in the tournament, but prizes and schedule are yet to be determined.

Although HLTV.org will not be on-site in Kiev, we will provide you with pre-event interviews, previews, statistics, hot matches and more to make sure you get to enjoy SLTV StarSeries V finals to the fullest.

That's actually cool. Teams can focus on just one match, have a good warmup prior to match start and take a rest.

"Additionally, SLTV has informed HLTV.org that they will host a one-on-one tournament for the players participating in the tournament, but prizes and schedule are yet to be determined." Neat idea to fill the time between the days. Looking forward.
