NiP, LondonC in CKoTH #5

20-8-2014 15:41

The fifth edition of Caseking of the Hill, which will take place on Thursday, will feature four teams, including ESL One Cologne champions Ninjas in Pyjamas.

The last edition of the tournament saw iBUYPOWER defeat Natus Vincere in the final to take the crown off the Ukraine-based side, who had been Casekings since week one.

With the North American side now back home after attending ESL One Cologne, the tournament is back to a four-team format in order to determine the next champion.

Will NiP be the next Casekings?

Cologne champions Ninjas in Pyjamas will be taking part in the tournament, just like London Conspiracy, who bowed out of the event in Germany in the group stage.

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that mousesports, who made headlines on Wednesday when it was revealed they would skip the Starseries finals, and ENCORE will complete the participants' list.

The semi-final matchups are the following:

NiP	vs.	ENCORE	18:00
London Conspiracy	vs.	mousesports	20:30

Caseking of the Hill #5 prize distribution

2014-08-20 15:46

Oh wow seriously? None of these teams got a chance against NiP in a BO3, maybe onlinesports if NiP is not on form.

2014-08-20 15:57

mouz have HIGH potential to upset NiP(anyone) anytime online.

2014-08-20 16:32

Bo1 - surely, but in a BO3? I wouldnt bet on them.

2014-08-20 16:34

Put Na'Vi put in lol

2014-08-20 15:45

2014-08-20 16:08

Lol, of course anders and semmler give NiP another chance because they are so biased to them

Or because they are the worlds best team and everyone wants to see them play, as well as sponsors who get more publicity this way. Too big of a conspiracy for you?

2014-08-20 16:21

Oh hehe I see what u did there.

2014-08-20 16:30

everyone? u know what this word means?

2014-08-21 17:35

Or maybe because some other teams said no. I could definitely see VP, HR, NaVi and Titan say no to this because they fucked up in ESL.

pretty much all the tops teams will eventually get invited back =) most just can't right now because of vacation!

2014-08-20 16:31

Nope, obvious conspiracy you must be part of the illuminati. *adds additional tinfoil to hat*

fedora*

2014-08-20 21:24

they asked other teams as well, most of them are on vacation

2014-08-20 17:33

pff not even gonna bother to watch

2014-08-20 16:18

sry, NiP are offliners. Can't win online

Seriously encore ? -.-

2014-08-20 16:27

Wouldve loved to see the new reason line up play instead of NiP and see who's the best out of those four.

you guys act like every team is jumping balls to get in this tournament.. I think its the other way around.. I think they are having hunt n find teams... that's why we've seen LDLC twice

its a busy schedule for european teams...i pretty sure if IBP/c9 or any american team had a playable ping..they would jump to play this even every week...seeing as they hardly get any other chances to play... And you dont want to invite overgaming,unu.ain etc..

2014-08-20 16:42

agreed

2014-08-21 20:35

CSGOLOUNGE is faster :D Added Encore NIP,Mouz LC.

2014-08-20 20:41

2014-08-20 20:49

Would have been cool to see IBP.

2014-08-20 21:09

LC are gonna have a rough time vs onlinesports. Depends on what maps but 2-0 or 2-1 for mouz. Unless LC are gonna surprise me yet again.

2014-08-20 21:11

shit, i was looking forward to seeing iBP try to defend with 150 ping.

2014-08-20 21:35

worst Caseking of the Hill :S

2014-08-21 00:06

Go NiP!

2014-08-21 01:25

RoF-Anders should think about changing map pool a little bit! I think de_season is not a popular map anymore and could be replaced with overpass(this!)/cobblestone. Moreover 2 new maps can be added instead of season/train. Maybe I am too influenced by ESL One though =]

2014-08-21 08:56

YES! +overpass +cobbestone

2014-08-21 11:41

Oh right overpass and cbble are in btw guys, actually based on player's requests.. and also on the fact that we keep bitching about having a single united map pool and then we don't actually help doing it, so there!
