HLTV.org is set up in Cologne, Germany to bring you instant coverage of the RaidCall EMS One Fall 2013 Finals.

The teams arrived at the venue early so the action is set to start as scheduled, at 12:00 , with the opening match in Group A between VeryGames and fnatic.

VeryGames and fnatic have been warming up for almost 2 hours

The first casting pair will be Joe Miller and Lauren "PansY" Scott, while players from the other group are expected to join as co-casters in later matches during the day.

As usual, ESL will be having the next two teams, Copenhagen Wolves and n!faculty set up on the secondary PCs. After the first match is finished, they will swap SSD drives and start their clash as soon as possible.

Don't forget to check out our viewer's guide and preview to get yourself fully prepared for this action-packed weekend.

HLTV.org will bring you photo updates throughout the day, as well as stats, demos, scorebot and more.

Go Petar!

just start the match already :S

Swap their SSD's, is this normal at LAN? Sounds like a huge delay waiting to happen.

No. It's extremely fast. Just insert it in the slot without having to open the case and turn on the PC.

It's completely the opposite. Set up your config etc on the warmup PCs, when the game on the tournament PCs has finished, take out their drives, put in yours and boot. They'll be hotswap I imagine so it'll only take a couple of minutes to change it all over and be ready to go!
