Wolves, PD, Na`Vi, n! to EMS Finals

10-10-2013 00:48

Groups C & D of the RaidCall EMS One Fall Group stage have now concluded, and it was Copenhagen Wolves, Party Daddlers, Natus Vincere and n!faculty who won their spots for the LAN Finals later this month, while notably Astana Dragons failed to move on.

In Group C yesterday, German side featuring best Dutch player Chris "chrisJ" de Jong knocked out the team of CIS superstars Astana Dragons, first beating them 21-17 on de_mirage_ce and then in the rematch for second place 16-8 on de_cache.

dupreeh continued his amazing form and led CPH Wolves to the LAN finals

Despite suffering some DDoS attacks, Copenhagen Wolves strolled to the first place of that group, defeating solemn 16-3 on de_dust2_se and then Party Daddlers 16-2 on de_mirage_ce.

Here are the complete stats from Group C participants:

Group D took place today and Natus Vincere made sure that the CIS region will be represented in Germany by defeating ALTERNATE 16-12 on de_dust2_se and n!faculty 16-11 on the same map to take the first place.

Na`Vi will be going to Cologne

In the losers' match ALTERNATE and AWESOME played overtime to stay in contention for second place, and the German team prevailed 21-18 on de_inferno_se. However, n!faculty got the better of them on de_dust2_se with an easy 16-5 victory, joining NiP and fnatic as the third Swedish team at the Finals.

Astana Dragons and ALTERNATE will have to settle for having secured spots for Winter season's cups, while these 8 teams will be making their way to Cologne, Germany in two weeks' time.

UniversalSoldiers	fnatic	Party Daddlers	n!faculty

As it was announced recently, the format of the Finals will be different this time, starting out with double elimination group stage on day one, followed by semi-finals and the final on day two.

Also worth mentioning is that despite using the "_se" maps throughout the season, ESL will now switch to regular maps for the LAN event.

You mean after like 3 teams dropped out?

2013-10-12 13:03

Retard comment is a retard.First off, ESC lost 16-6 to CPH, i think that's enough punishment.AD lost twice to PD, and CPH won 2-0 and 16-2 against PD, which i think makes them better.They've won against VG 16-14, and they almost beat NiP in a 2-1 map.Your post is invalid, mate.I can't say anything about Na`Vi since they haven't faced yet (since dreamhack i believe) so yeah.

you are an idiot, two matches online represent the skill of a team, if so then party dadlers are top4, they played more impressive than cph

And you are from China, and know nothing about CS. Step aside.

Just because you're from denmark doesn't mean you have better knowledge than him at CS.

Pretty much does.

2013-10-10 10:47

That's quite dumb to be honest. Following your logic, even a local footballer from brazil is owning everyone from the rest of the world in football?

2013-10-10 10:51

Nope.

Ow okey.. here I thought I could start a smart conversation with you :( hf

U r scum

2013-10-10 11:13

I'm not from China, I do business in China and I'm a former pro CS 1.6 players so I know what I'm saying, who are you?

2013-10-12 11:17

lol ? universal soldiers ? AHAHHAHAH the best teams right now are - nip,vg,LD,fnatic,cphw,ad,col , cant see the polaks in top8

2013-10-10 12:32

The denomination 'polaks' is derogatory, especially coming from low-class, overworked, and unintelligent Americans. Reported.

2013-10-10 14:50

Na'Vi, and universalsoldiers...? No way are they in the top 5. SK, Fnatic, CoL, CPH, all of these teams consistently have better results than those 2. And the lineup of AD just isn't good enough to compete with NiP and VG. They don't have any strikingly good players. SK has delpan and twist, CPH has dupreeh, CoL has hiko, k1ck has fox and Aguila, the best AD has is Dosia, and he hasn't been performing too well lately.

2013-10-10 13:41

haha what a joke, dosia, ANGE1 were the best players in virtus.pro, the same virtus.pro that destroyed NiP time after time on lan. Together with Edward and markeloff they have more skill than any other team. anyway, individual skills are useless without teamwork otherwise navi wouldnt beat astana, it all comes down to chemistry. Na'Vi > CPH 16-9, 16-8, 16-13 and they even removed their best player so now they are definitely better. hltv.org/?pageid=188&matchid=15378&event.. hltv.org/?pageid=188&matchid=15348&event.. hltv.org/?pageid=188&matchid=15347&event.. same with astan hltv.org/?pageid=188&matchid=15176&event.. astana plays 1 bad match and cph plays 1 good match and suddenly they are better? anyway you are retarded, there is no need to argue with you.

2013-10-10 15:00

I was arguing that the top 5 teams you listed were bullshit, and I listed 4 teams that were better candidates. Instead of reaffirming your statement, you chose to take the one team I said that you knew had bad performances against the teams YOU mentioned and proceeded to dig up some hltv links to fully establish your new argument, which is that world>CPH, while mentioning that AD's lineup had the most skill, and that Ange1 was tied with dosia as the best player of virtus pro. Well... What the fuck????
