EC 2013 QR1 pairs drawn

3-9-2013 00:31

Earlier today E-Frag.net have drawn pairs for the first qualification round of their upcoming tournament European Championship 2013.

As announced last week when the schedule and format of EC 2013 were revealed, E-Frag.net held a draw today to decide how the twelve nations starting at the bottom level will pair up in qualification round one.

Each match was assigned a number to allow for the second round draw to be made before the first round ends. Here is what the pairs look like:

QR1 match #1: Macedonia vs. Moldova

QR1 match #2: Estonia vs. Luxembourg

QR1 match #3: Slovenia vs. Armenia

QR1 match #4: Andorra vs. Greece

QR1 match #5: Croatia vs. Montenegro

QR1 match #6: Israel vs. Iceland

The matches will be played in best-of-three mode and the winners will advance to qualification round two where they will join another 18 teams.

The entire draw was recorded on video, and E-Frag will continue recording the future draws as well.

The deadline for the first round to be finished is September 13th, while round two will begin after DreamHack Bucharest, on September 17th.

HLTV.org will cover every match of the tournament, including both qualifiers, so stay tuned to our front page to find out when your nation will be in action.

2013-09-03 09:49

Oh what, that country that isn't even a shell of its former self? Sound great to me.

2013-09-03 10:11

So.. "United Kingdom" is basically "England"..? Who taught you this?

2013-09-03 11:06

I was just taking the piss surprised people took it serious but England isn't that bad I like it :) Can't beat a good ole british pub! you must have been in pubs with a flat roof #RULE 1. When visiting england never go in a pub with a flat roof usually on the outskirts or inside a council estate and usually gonna end with you picking your teeth off the floor from like 5 little skinny toe rags!

I lived there for 17 years. I also didn't go to any pubs with flat roofs lol, but in comparison to Australia it is not a nice place to live at all imo.

2013-09-03 03:29

But they are. Sweden wins this easy.

2013-09-03 04:37

Im happy that i aren't the one to set the swedish lineup for the matches, they got so many great players... Tbh i can't see other countries win this but i hope for Denmark!

2013-09-03 08:54

france has a real good chance, i would put my money on france

2013-09-03 09:09

they are not. What you don't understand is that -maybe they have more good players- but they'll play with a mix of players, therefore, they won't be as good as a real team, same for France, at this point, any team can win. People said the same thing as you, during cb nations on 1.6, result ?France won.

2013-09-03 16:00

Macedonia had some good players in 1.6 like NENO

2013-09-03 16:09

CSGO is where magic happens. Not top3 obv,but MAYBE.

2013-09-03 16:36

I was referring to a top3 in the QR1 not overall :D

2013-09-03 17:53

Greece and Croatia and Macedonia are top from QR1 I think (though there can be surprises)

2013-09-03 16:38

Macedonia - NENO Greece - tsack and maybe Estonia/Slovenia has good players dont know much about them
