RC EMS One quarter-final matchups

20-6-2013 18:41

The draw for the quarter-finals of the RaidCall EMS One Summer finals has been made, with the eight participants having learned their fate.

The LAN finals of the second RaidCall EMS One season of the year will take place inside the ESL TV's studio, in the heart of Cologne, from June 29th to 30th. The top eight sides from the group stage will gather in the German city to battle it out for the top prize of $12,000.

Fresh off winning DreamHack Summer, Ninjas in Pyjamas, will begin the defense of their RC EMS One crown against Western Wolves, to whom the Swedish giants suffered a 16-2 defeat in Jönköping.

shoxie's VG paired with CPH Wolves

The most interesting match of this quarter-final stage looks to be the one between Copenhagen Wolves, who had a close three-map game against NiP, and VeryGames, who will finally be attending their first LAN event with Richard "shoxie" Papillon.

LDLC.com, who placed 3rd-4th, will tackle fnatic, who will be desperate to impress after crashing out of DreamHack in the group stage, while Virtus.pro will tackle ESC Gaming.

RC EMS One quarter-finals:

CPH Wolves	vs.	VeryGames
LDLC.com	vs.	fnatic
Ninjas in Pyjamas	vs.	Western Wolves
ESC Gaming	vs.	Virtus.pro

Meanwhile, the ESL has indicated that until Friday at 18:00 there is a 50 per cent discount on tickets to the EMS One Finals, in Cologne. You can purchase your ticket here.

Thank you.

8 best teams in one torunament

2013-06-20 18:55

Personally I would have liked WW vs CPH LDLC vs VG ESC vs fnatic NiP vs VP Anyhow I really hope WW can do better this time. They messed up after Day 1 of DH...

ESC vs fnatic lol. Probably the lowest teams in the tournament meeting eatch other.

The skill level would be equal, so it'd be a more exciting game. You think I'd choose boring shit on purpose?

2013-06-20 23:33

Talking about equal... ye right... How does it come then if those low shiteams will advance instead of better team who will be knocked out... Seems equal...

2013-06-25 13:32

"instead of better team who will be knocked out" That doesn't make any sense... This one close game would be better than two boring games instead, since both ESC and fnatic would just get knocked out. Think before you comment.

2013-06-25 18:38

Eh Think? So its better to have boring semifinals then quarterfinals? Is it fair that teams that are "bad" have a better chance to advance then the teams that are the best?

2013-06-25 18:52

NIP to lose their second LAN. (2on2 not included)

So fucking great matches :D

(y)

gogo ESC

2013-06-20 18:59

all matches sick

2013-06-20 19:07

The matches look absolutely brilliant. CPH > LDLC > NiP > VP > Should be your Semi-Final match up. I think WW will take a map off NiP, but I think NiP will just have another level to get to.

you know im worried about nip. because western wolves know how to beat them. shutting down get_right i was very impressed with how they shit down his back stabbing!

Oh yeah, they managed to do that effectively on nuke. However that was nuke, so I'd be interested to know if they could replicate that on other maps.

2013-06-20 19:19

I highly doubt we see a repeat of that. NiP was clearly off their game on the first day of DH Summer.

2013-06-20 19:29

GetRight played shit the entire day. He's back to it though, found some form for the last day.

Agree, NiP just needs to like on day 3 and they will win 2-1.

2013-06-21 10:57

VG will win against cph

2013-06-20 20:02

I dunno really, because VG have had exams recently which has messed up their practice schedule. They are also in the middle of switching their entire gameplay style. I'd say it'd be close, but I could easily see VG going home on the first day.

2013-06-20 21:32

and what about casters? any news?

2013-06-20 19:13

well i think it will be the people esl have on board. pansy and redeye joe miller. seems like they have the best csgo casters there. well apart from anders i like anders work ethic and cant hate on such a thing.

2013-06-20 19:16

Agreed ReDeYe > Joe Miller > Anders. They are my favorite full time casters, though I like having lurppis or cArn for their pro knowledge. Pansy has been improving her game knowledge a lot as well, I like her casting.

2013-06-20 19:31

hey, have you heard Steel do his analyzing? compared to lurppis and carn he is alot bette no offence to them at all but he just can see where the team made mistakes and the tide of the round changed he is very good at it!

2013-06-20 21:34

there should be something coming soon to clarify a few more things. We took the feedback given and worked with it hopefully.

2013-06-21 10:40

We'll announce the casters at a later point. You'll like them!

2013-06-20 19:33

redeye and joeM ? make it happen

2013-06-20 20:13

Can we have Jason Kaplan on the job if possible?

2013-06-20 19:26

Not sure about NiP vs WW. They know how to play against nip, but they are not so good.

2013-06-20 19:27

awesome matches!

2013-06-20 19:28

but prize purse is shit 35 000 and just 12 000 for winner IMO much better 16 000 9 000 6 000 4 000

2013-06-20 19:32

It is done so that teams reach the Top 8 are rewarded in a way of covering their travel expenses.

2013-06-20 19:41

dude why can't you just shut the fuck up ? why do you always have to whine in every single topic ?

2013-06-20 20:00

Look at his username lol

2013-06-20 21:09

2013-06-21 13:31

Good matches,hope organizers put them at different hours,so we won't miss anything. GL ESC!

2013-06-20 19:46

they will :D just like they did last time

2013-06-20 20:01

Hmm, don't like that ESC has to play against VP. I like both teams :(

2013-06-20 20:04

VG LDLC NiP VP

2013-06-20 20:08

Gl VERYGAMES <3

The bracket is unlucky for Virtus.Pro, again :( But we have some chances to see VG vs LDLC @ another 1/2.

2013-06-20 20:14

gl for ESC and all teams...:)

2013-06-20 20:19

2013-06-21 09:48

hope for good game from fnatic

2013-06-20 20:54

Good matches. I wonder if ESC learnt already how to close almost won games and will impress against VP. Gl G5!

2013-06-20 20:55

CPH Wolves < VeryGames LDLC.com > fnatic Ninjas in Pyjamas < Western Wolves ESC Gaming < Virtus.pro

2013-06-20 20:58

Ninjas in Pyjamas < Western Wolves really?

2013-06-20 21:33

I hope so. It might be a long shot though ;-)

2013-06-20 21:58

if anything, NiP will win WW and VP will then knock them out

2013-06-21 13:49

VP totally sucked from NiP on DH, so i doubt that they will do much damage to them.

2013-06-21 16:42

no epsilon :(

2013-06-20 22:00

They played awful in the 4 cups so they didn't get to play the groups who you qualified through. :/

2013-06-21 13:42
