CEVO-P S5 finals set to start

10-10-2014 07:26

The CEVO Professional Season 5 Finals will take place today, with four teams battling it out for the top prize of $5,000.

Held at the GXL Universe LAN in Philadelphia, the event will feature the top four sides of the online stage, including North American giants iBUYPOWER and Cloud9, both of whom will also be in attendance at the FACEIT League Finals and at the ESWC finals later this month.

The event was initially supposed to feature just $7,500, but crowdfunding brought the prize pool up to $10,000.

Cloud9 will take on Denial in the semi-finals

A double-elimination, best-of three, format will be used for the tournament, with iBUYPOWER taking on NetcodeGuides.com, and Cloud9 meeting Denial (formerly known as LunatiK) in the semi-final stage.

Below you can find the semi-final matchups and also the timetable for these matches:

iBUYPOWER	vs.	NetcodeGuides.com	15:00
Cloud9	vs,	Denial	17:30

The $10,000 prize purse will be split as follows among the finalists:

1. $5,000
2. $2,500
3. $1,500
4. $1,000

Will the finals be played out today or tomorrow?

You mean the "hot matches"? I can only see semi-final matches listed there. No info about the UB final match.

American day/time, translated to European day/time for a guy in SE Asia. It can't possibly be more complicated than that :D It's 9 pm, Friday here, so I don't even know what qualifies as "today" xD

Thanks.

Curious to see how Denial performs on LAN and hopefully the outcome of this LAN will determine whether or not they change the roster a bit.

They will do better than NCG thats for sure. You could see Denial in LB against c9/ibp. Wouldn't suprise me if Denial win LB and go to finals of this LAN.

2014-10-10 07:34

haah they got raped, and NCG played well this time.

2014-10-11 14:38

Can't always be right. Pleasant surprise to see NCG doing well in the tournament. Huge disappointment in Denial too. Hopefully they bounce back and show some results at ESEA LAN.

2014-10-14 05:03

woohoo!! Go Cloud 9!

2014-10-10 07:38

Really hoping for an upset here from netcodeguides, they can beat IBP... NTC,C9 final!

2014-10-10 07:42

NCG on LAN is... painful. At least ESEA LAN finals 6 was.

I wouldn't look to much into that, it was their first major LAN and they can only improve.

2014-10-10 09:04

puny prize money. lmfao.

2014-10-10 07:57

People care about prize money?

5000$ is puny, you've stuck your head in the LoL scene for too long. They should be grateful they get to show off their talent for any money at all.

2014-10-10 15:00

In Cloud9 we trust!

2014-10-10 08:07

Cevo is joke. Professional league with that long of a season and total prize fund of 10k? Really? If they were in Europe nobody would be playing in their crappy league.

2014-10-10 08:58

What should they do? They have 2 good teams, rest of them is like OG or dAT in EU. But they arw going up with prize. Hope that bunch of good teams will come there like here in Europe. First 15 teams, evertone can beat everybody xD

2014-10-10 14:51

lmao c9 ftw

2014-10-10 08:59

So after the whole season the winning team only get $1000 per person?? What a fucking joke.

2014-10-10 09:17

I agree with you. It's a jojke :))

2014-10-10 13:31

1k in one day is not bad.

2014-10-10 13:38

HIKO , are you kidding me ?! :D

2014-10-10 13:37

Shittiest stream I've seen in a long fucking time. This is pathetic. And this is a fucking LAN? Are you kidding me?

2014-10-10 20:27

The stream is a joke. semphis aced on d2 vs denial and not one kill was shown. LAWL.

2014-10-10 22:09

Worst event I've seen so far I believe.

2014-10-11 00:42

'MURICA!

2014-10-11 01:06

Worst LAN ever. c0tton and cklops are some of the worst casters I have ever heard. The amount of delays and shitty equipment is unbelievable. The stream looks like shit. I think CEVO should be disbanded as a league and another started up in NA.
