2015-02-09 19:19

I like that there are more and more tournaments for good teams, let's say 2tier teams. In general i like this idea for mix teams involved in tournament.

2015-02-09 19:35

It was up to them if they wanted to compete. It's an open event, not invitational.

2015-02-09 21:45

It's time for k1ck to prove themselves as they face teams with almost the same level of skill as theirs..

2015-02-09 19:57

FYI, We host these tournaments once a month, and the prize pot will keep growing pretty much each month, and we also host these in North America, so you can multiply that pot by 12 2 times and thats about how much throughout the year will be in prize pots. At least for now its going to be around $25,000-$30,000 USD Throughout this year atleast.

2015-02-09 19:58

nice! :)

2015-02-09 23:26

Sweet, good for the lower tier teams to keep themselves busy

2015-02-09 20:12

ez gplay! gl Bulgaria, you actually deserve a win!

2015-02-09 20:34

k1ck can now prove they deserve invites for majors like the fanboys claim, or fail. I'm eager to see what comes.

2015-02-09 20:53

go go Gplay. VaCtor get em all

2015-02-09 20:55

GL K1ck

2015-02-09 21:04

GL x6tence, k1ck, puta and Gplay

2015-02-09 21:06

It's a shame the prize pool is so low, but the teams in it are amazing. It's like the europa league in football, 2nd to the UCL. Top11-24 teams will be fighting it out and it should be great.

2015-02-09 21:08

2015-02-09 22:07

K1ck will win and ESL will regret no inviting them trust my words

2015-02-09 21:15

Time to put up a show K1ck, more practice and less crying!

2015-02-09 21:47

fuck x6 randoms players

2015-02-09 21:56

Gplay has a chance of taking this

2015-02-09 21:58

k1ck players cry to much for some place somewhere... if they fail hard here they should say bye bye to most of the invitational tournaments. Should be ez for them, I expect to see K1ck, gplay, ex-esc and x6 in the semis. gl all.

While puta probably is better than at least 3 of the teams you listed I really expect gplay, puta and ESC

2015-02-09 22:10

I dont see puta as a better team than k1ck, lets wait and see :)

2015-02-09 23:28

-x6 -gplay +orbit +Publiclir

2015-02-09 22:11

orbit maybe, but I really don't see publiclir above them.

2015-02-09 22:24

You're completely right. It's now or never.

2015-02-10 00:08

$800????????? lol

2015-02-09 22:08

Will see now "k1ck" many comments about them and they suck. Not a surprise if lose against tier 2 teams

2015-02-09 23:13

For some reason esports in general is pretty small here, Im not sure why... There are no serious LANs, competitions etc either so even if you get serious you're gonna be looking at LANs in Belgium or Germany right off the bat.
