RC EMS One Fall groups drawn

16-10-2013 18:04

Groups for RaidCall EMS One Fall 2013 Finals have been released. The tournament will take place on October 26-27th at the ESL TV studio in Cologne, Germany.

Eight teams that made it past an intense online season of RaidCall EMS One matches have learned who their opponents will be at the $35,000 LAN Finals later this month at the ESL TV studios.

VeryGames are the reigning champions of RaidCall EMS One

The previous two seasons put the eight LAN finalists directly into single elimination best-of-three playoffs, but this season the format has changed and they will first have to go through another group stage before moving to the semi-finals.

Four group winners from the online stage, VeryGames, NiP, CPH Wolves and Natus Vincere were split into two groups as the high seeds, joined by lower seeded second placed teams.

Group A	Group B
VeryGames	NiP
CPH Wolves	Natus Vincere
n!faculty	UniversalSoldiers
fnatic	Party Daddlers

The matches will not overlap and they will all be streamed by ESL TV and the tournament's official partners for other languages. Here is the preliminary schedule:

Saturday, October 26th:

12:00 : Group A
17:00 : Group B

Sunday, October 27th:

12:00 : Decider matches (A & B)
15:00 : Semi-finals
20:00 : Grand final

Groups will be played in double elimination best-of-one mode, with the top two teams advancing. The semi-finals and the grand final will be played in best-of-three mode.

Prize distribution for RaidCall EMS One Fall 2013 Finals:

1. $12,000
2. $7,000
3-4. $4,000
5-8. $2,000

HLTV.org will be on site in Cologne, Germany to bring you complete coverage of the event.

2013-10-16 19:11

Well, after recent results of those teams I think it's even harder to predict what's gonna happen there :) My heart is with US, but generally, all of the matches will be sick! :)

2013-10-16 21:43

VeryGames!

2013-10-16 22:09

Want to see how Party Daddlers will perform :) Looking forward for a underdog winner, basically any team besides VG and NIP (nothing against both though, I just think it would make things more interesting)

2013-10-16 22:17

Na Vi will be last in the group. You heard it here first

2013-10-16 22:55

GROUP A: VG, CPH, Fnatic GROUP B: NIP, US, PD Semis: VG vs fnatic NIP vs CPH VG vs NiP in the final

Group a : vg,fnatic Group b : nip , na'vi (easy)

2013-10-17 00:28

hf US I mean gl...

2013-10-17 00:30

I guess that CPH will take this.

2013-10-17 00:59

go CPH and NaVi :D

2013-10-17 03:26

PD for teh win

2013-10-17 03:30

Go US

2013-10-17 04:45

VeryGames and Copenhagen Wolves got this in the first group, no chance for n!faculty and the recent results of fnatic aren't that good also.NiP without a doubt gets the second group, but it's kinda like indecisive between the rest 3, i still think that chrisJ will do something amazing and get them through(PD).
