Playoff bracket drawn for DH Winter

28-11-2014 00:45

The playoff bracket has been drawn for DreamHack Winter's $250,000 tournament. Playoffs will begin tomorrow at 10:00 with the first quarter-final.

The bracket was drawn randomly with group winners facing second place finishers from another group, meaning no one could face a team they had in their initial group.

Quarter-finals will be played tomorrow with the schedule laid out below, while both semi-finals and the grand final have been scheduled to take place on Saturday.

11:00	HellRaisers	vs. NiP
14:15	Virtus.pro	vs. PENTA
17:30	LDLC	vs. fnatic
20:45	dignitas	vs. Na`Vi

* Start times have been updated

Each match will be streamed by DreamHack TV as well as a number of other streams. GOTV is also available for every match through CS:GO's Watch-tab in-game.

It's a BO3.

hr was good in another group-stage in majors before, after they got eliminated quickly in playoffs

You'd have to be blind to not see that this is a conpletely new HellRaisers. They're finally playing together, having coordination and discipline, for the first time since forming. They were in such good form in the group stage and didn't win through aim alone, besting 2 teams who previously I would have put far ahead of HR. Imo hr will beat nip easily if they keep this form up. (Unless of course Nip return to the old nip form)

How about the LDLC game? Also Cache is one of their worst maps

2014-11-28 01:08

ESC is a really good team. I had the chance to talk to get_right after they barely won (i watched it live at dreamhack). He told me that NiP has been in a slump lately, and not winning a lot of games (as we know), but he seemed really motivated and said that he believe they have a really good chance at getting far (if not winning) in the dreamhack winter 2014 CSGO championship. A really nice guy, btw :)

2014-11-28 00:44

3 replies

Why the hell they don't deserve that slot ?.. i think they pretty much deserve this slot as any other team. ESC played well... but in the end NiP played better.. stop saying shit. 11-4 to NiP - first half 5-9 to NiP - 2nd half They won more rounds then ESC so please don't post unless you have full knowledge of everything.

2014-11-28 00:49

2 replies

Of course they win more rounds if they win the game, dumbass. Are you trying to act smart just to prove a point? NiP played god awful. Definitely not on the level of a team that should be contending for the 1st place in this tournament.

2014-11-28 01:05

Apparenyly nip never deserve to win xD

2014-11-28 01:09

NiP, VP, LDLC, dignitas to the semis, u heard it first time here ^^

2014-11-28 00:44

NiP are looking good. Maikelele seems to have integrated just fine within the team. If they stop making dumb mistakes like on overpass against LDLC and if Get_RiGhT, f0rest and friberg step up their game then I think they stand a good chance to play the final.

2014-11-28 00:44

6 replies

Bla bla bla, Ninja in Pauses saved their arses. Mekeleke missed so many easy AWP shots, he just bad and GTR and Forest are even worse without form (just look LDLC match)

2014-11-28 00:46

3 replies

This is my point. If GtR and f0rest played their usual game, they would've defeated the 2nd best team in the world on one of their best maps. This is a good sign imo. And maikelele the way i see it was crucial for NiP to get out of the group stage (I don't think they would've won the first gun round as T without him).

2014-11-28 00:51

2 replies

Bla bla bla NiP fanboy. ESC was rly close to win this and you say that NiP were plaing good. Tomorow against HR they will cryyy. Simples AWP 2 strong for them.

2014-11-28 00:54

1 reply

ESC played a good CT side, I agree. And yet, NiP won the game even though they lost both pistol rounds. Anyway, I fail to see your arguments. :)

2014-11-28 00:56

honestly bla bla bla "Get_RiGhT, f0rest and friberg step up their game" we can talk the same about others team "if their 3 players step up then... lalala... =win

2014-11-28 02:42

1 reply

No, we can't talk like that, because LDLC, fnatic, VP and dignitas already have their players at full throttle. As I said yesterday, NiP were looking good, improved, and them crushing HR today proves my point. Anyway, from now on anything can happen, but it's good to see NiP back with their amazing game.

I think the scheduling is quite poor. Saturday, 29th of November 2014 13.00 Semifinal #1 (BO3) 16.30 Semifinal #2 (BO3) 21.00 Grand Final (BO3) 2nd semi-finals team has a huge disadvantage. They have only at most 1.5 hours from end of semis to the final (7-9pm). During which time they need to have dinner too. 1st semi final team (1st finalist) has like 5 hours before finals. They will be able to watch the 2nd semi final and gain an edge on their opponent because they'll be watching them play just before the final. 2nd finalists would have watched 1st semi-final but preparing for their semis (2nd semis) would be their priority at that time. + I hate this group stage format. it should be round robin.

2014-11-28 01:37
