27-2-2014 01:48

Virtus.pro, Na`Vi, Clan-Mystik and Reason have managed to qualify for the EMS One Katowice $250,000 tournament.

The upper bracket quarter-finals of EMS One Katowice European Finals took place tonight, offering four of the six spots for the $250,000 tournament scheduled to start in two weeks' time in Poland.

Virtus.pro had the least troubles out of the four match-ups, even though they also trailed early on both maps against the Germans ALTERNATE. Nevertheless, Filip "Neo" Kubski's team came out on top 16-10 on both de_dust2 and de_mirage, to secure their spot at the big event on their home soil.

Neo's Virtus.pro will be in Katowice

In the second of the two earlier matches, Clan-Mystik edged out Danes 3DMAX after three thrilling maps (22-26 on de_inferno, 16-10 on de_nuke, 21-16 on de_dust2). The Frenchmen were on the verge of defeat in the last map, trailing 11-15, but Kenny "kennyS" Schrub & co. stepped up and took the match to overtime and eventually prevailed.

kennyS leads Clan-Mystik to Katowice as the top fragger of the qualifier with 150 kills

Natus Vincere were heavily favored to get one of the spots, and the Swedish side TBA weren't supposed to present a big problem for them. However, after winning 16-11 on de_dust2, the Ukrainian-based side got stunned 5-16 on de_inferno, so it all came down to de_train.

The deciding map ended up going down to the wire, with TBA fighting hard and taking it to overtime, only for Na`Vi to need saving by Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovacs to take the match into another extra period.

In the end Ioann "Edward" Sukhariev's couple of great rounds gave the Ukrainians the key advantage on the T-side, and they closed out the map 26-23.

GuardiaN, together with Edward, excelled in the overtime on the deciding map

Reason Gaming, who featured two former fnatic stars Finn "karrigan" Andersen and Michael "Friis" Jørgensen as unconfirmed new members of the lineup, also managed to secure a spot in Katowice after defeating mousesports in two close maps (16-13 on de_train and 16-12 on de_nuke).

Friis is back in action after his departure from Copenhagen Wolves back in November

3 overtimes, actually (2 inferno, 1 dust2). That's exactly as much as an extra map.

dropping the 100 bomb - almost.

2014-02-27 02:48

Nice

3DMAX or H2K from their side of the bracket. mouz or TBA on the other side. Really think 3DMAX and TBA will make it but it's close. EMS will be so sick

2014-02-27 01:52

2014-02-27 08:39

omg so nice to see neo back on top again :D the true legend is back

2014-02-27 01:53

I would wait to see him playing against some better teams...

2014-02-27 07:44

Some really sweet matches today, thanks for that! gl to the teams in the lower bracket!

2014-02-27 01:56

Nice game between navi and tba, was a pleasure to watch the stream. Thanks Anders & co. ;)

Na'vi, virtus GL

2014-02-27 01:57

No delays, no ddos, two double overtimes... it was a good day of CS

2014-02-27 01:59

Yep O_O

2014-02-27 02:12

It was a freaking beautifull day of CS:GO, So much overtime in both na'vi vs tba and CM vs 3dmax! KennyS with 2 nice noscopes and pimp showing off some awp-skill!

2014-02-27 03:37

cybersport.pl/artykul,26514,loord-dzieki.. no ddos, no delays? okay. Match alternate vs mym was lasted for 3h at least.. translate this site on google on somethin.

TBA,H2k TO KATOWICE

2014-02-27 02:04

These where such sick matches, gl 3DMax and TBA to secure spot for Katowice. :)

Filip 'Neo' Kubski with 1.46 Rating... Monster!

2014-02-27 02:10

I hope mousesports or TBA and H2k secure the last two spots! gonna be awesome regardless!

2014-02-27 02:14

Ty Reason for the skins!! hf on EMS!

2014-02-27 02:17

2014-02-27 02:31

All losers from today will advance one more stage.

Arf, MyM, 3DMAX and H2k in the same half of the bracket, so disappointing, I wanted at least 2 out of these three to qualify...

lol 16 world's best teams! not enough money for all these teams... :D

i dont think that vox e is top16 tbh

2014-02-27 02:46

yeah but is good for the competition to have teams from different regions. i would like to see a brazilian and an asian team also!

2014-02-27 03:40

haven't seen them play much against eu teams so guess we find out in poland :p

2014-02-27 09:24

they played byoc at dreamhack and failed.

2014-02-27 14:18

NEO was good :)

2014-02-27 02:40

GOGOGO France with 3 teams capable of anything =]

2014-02-27 02:53

Dignitas and vox eminor are not deserved

2014-02-27 03:17

Why dignitas? They're a top 10 team if not top 5. Dunno about vox, haven't seen them play much, but I guess it's always nice to see teams from different continents play against each other

2014-02-27 09:27

tba and 3dmax to wrap up the sickest tournament ever!

nice kennyS!!

2014-02-27 06:17

Would have liked to see Trident anywhere in the qualifiers.

2014-02-27 07:09

I doubt that 3DMAX got any sleep last night

2014-02-27 07:16

Virtus finally looking solid :)

2014-02-27 08:47

They were always this good. Katowice is the real test for them.

2014-02-27 09:18

+1 lets hope they can get far in the tournament!

2014-02-27 09:29

yeah, especially in a home soil

2014-02-27 09:52

kennys such a fighter, always proving the doubters wrong

2014-02-27 09:30

TBA and 3DMAX will be the final 2 teams.....

2014-02-27 09:55

so Friis is Nicky Romero :D ?

kennyS 99 kills ,amazing * _ *

2014-02-27 09:57

LGB lineup ?

2014-02-27 10:08

eksem :D da=best

2014-02-27 10:18

mouz fails every time they reach the deciding match to qualify.. In SLTV StarSeries they needed one win to secure the spot in the finals, and lost against kerchnet and us. In the DH BYOC they were leading 15-8 to xapso in the deciding semi final, and lost in overtime. Now they lose against reason in the deciding match, and their 'second chance' tonight will be also a tough one.

2014-02-27 10:19

top matches

2014-02-27 10:51

kennys reflex's was so quick x)

2014-02-27 11:44

So happy to see virtus in the tournament. Hope they perform good at home soil.

2014-02-27 11:50

<3 FRISS!

2014-02-27 11:54

good too see poles in poland xd

Weird to see so few countries...dunno but 32 slots would be fine too. Of course there would be some weaker teams then too but they'd still be decent.. ENCE, h2k, mouz, Alternate, k1ck and the list goes on all deserve a chance somehow at least 2 more can qualify :) but I wanted to see both, wizards and mousesports at the tournament -.-
