even tho its the navi name, the fact is that they have been playing pretty bad recently, and if rain does another 40bomb NaVi is crushed. So really dependant on PartyAstronauts players single performance

if rain gets 186 kills they have a chance... well,good luck... BOOM! he's dead (guardian) :P

2014-02-24 19:49

How have they been playing bad lately?

2014-02-24 19:59

sry, mixed them up with AD

2014-02-25 09:12

Srsly? With Guardian and Zeus in NaVi? Have you seen latest SLTV where they played with this lineup only for couple days?

2014-02-24 20:01

2014-02-25 09:13

Well Extana Dragons suck big time. That's for sure :)

2014-02-24 22:17

i am sorry.but on what stats are u saying that navi have been playing bad ..

2014-02-25 06:20

Think Wizards have a decent chance against mystik. They've been awesome the last few weeks.

2014-02-24 19:33

the Wizards will win against mystik, mystik was making some mistakes yesterday that would cost them against a stronger opponent than H2K....H2K OVERRATED

2014-02-25 16:04

Wizards they've been doing it pretty well

2014-02-24 19:24

For sure. You have no idea how good Navi has become since adding GuardiaN and Edward back! They have been bootcamping like every month for few weeks! Are you forgetting Starladder season 8 finals?

bo3 double elimination so much cs coming up.

2014-02-24 18:53

It's kinda boring format to watch, but most fair for the teams. No place for lucky win.

2014-02-24 20:11

oh mystik. Shit. Good luck wizards, you will need it.

Wizards playing really good in the last days, i wont be surprised if they win.

2014-02-24 19:09

yea you're right but for me, individually, mystik have better players (Kennys is a monster), so they will need play without big mistakes.

2014-02-24 19:12

kennyS is inconsistent and plays for himself too much, not for the team. I believe in Wiazrds :)

2014-02-24 19:34

you shouldn't have that flag :s Go wizards I believe in you!

2014-02-25 05:18

hahahahaha ohh man! You made my day hahah.

2014-02-25 15:13

Kennys is inconsistent. One game he's top scoring and the other he's at bottom. I believe that wizards would take.

2014-02-24 20:13

Wizards winner :D

2014-02-24 20:15

Have organizers selected match-ups and brackets? Looks like no coincidence that VP/NaVi on separate ends of brackets. Same goes for nationality. Polish/German/Danish teams on separate parts of brackets...

It's pretty legit that Virtus.pro and Navi were given the top 2 seeds! Nothing biased I see.

2014-02-24 20:28

Well, obviously I'm glad they both did, I was just curious.

No dreamteam?

2014-02-24 22:47

unlucky for greyface and party, think they dead now.

2014-02-25 00:27

I'm still curious as to how they're gonna get six winners out of a 16-team pool. EDIT: Just looked at the Event page. So the upper bracket quarter-final winners and the third-round lower bracket winners get the spots. If my thinking is correct, a team will qualify if: A) they win their opener and then their next match; B) they lose their opener and win the next three matches; or C) they win their opener, lose their next match, and win their two lower-bracket matches. Am I right?

2014-02-25 05:17

There's a third championship bracket as a tie breaker

2014-02-25 16:30

I think it's time to have a 32 man tournament. So many big teams deserve a spot in a major... I mean all of them almost.

2014-02-25 05:20

They actually don't dserve spot in major. I mean 6 teams out of above list will qualify. This seems about right. Teams here like GreyFace, USSR, Alternate, oBG, Hudgz Team, TBA, PartyAstronats are nowhere being top teams that can even surprise big names. Two undoubtedly best teams here: VP and NaVi are in this qualifier only because they completely and utterly fucked up at DHW. I would say for NaVi it was most horrible event in CSGO, for VP it was losing to French mix (Recursive) after leading 12-2. Horrible performance.

2014-02-25 09:54

the teams who qualify deserves the spot, dont care about who is famous. TBA got pretty good players and so does Greyface so i think they really can surprise and qualify

and maybe <h2k but im not sure

2014-02-25 12:59

Go-go, Loordy. Certainly TBA looking much stronger, but Loord haz zis. They will win this, then Starladder, then Dreamhack, then they will conqure Iran, Iraq, USA and the whole world. This is how it's gonna happen.
