Wolves & mouz to Katowice qualifier

Yesterday the first European online qualifier started with 319 participants drawn into a single elimination bracket. Most of the bracket was played then, but from the round of sixteen on, it was played tonight.

mousesports, Copenhagen Wolves and ex-Flipsid3 got all the way to the semi-final, interestingly enough joined by Swedish lanlaget, who bested Planetkey Dynamics and eXes on their way there.

mousesports and ex-Flipsid3 were on the upper side of the bracket and it was the former, who secured a spot at the LAN qualifier by edging the Swedes on Nuke 16-14 after two 8-7 sides, and demolishing them on Dust2 with a 16-3 score.

lanlaget were the big surprise of the tournament, but they weren't able to get past Copenhagen Wolves despite putting up great efforts on Cobblestone, where the Danes had to pull through after an overtime.

Copenhagen Wolves and mousesports will be joining the four invited teams in the LAN qualifier taking place on February 14-15, making the current team list such:

Titan	Epsilon
dignitas	ESC
mousesports	CPH Wolves
