PENTA complete CCS list

9-3-2015 13:30

PENTA Sports have qualified for the CCS Kick-off Season after beating AliGon 3-0 in the grand final of the closed qualifier #2.

After FlipSid3 Tactics booked their place in the CCS league via the first closed qualifier by beating HellRaisers 3-1 in the grand final, only one spot in the prestigious $110,000 championship hosted by PGL remained up for grabs.

There were quite a few surprises along the way - the first of which being 3DMAX, who will be in action at ESL One Katowice later this week, stumbling at the first hurdle following a 0-2 defeat against Copenhagen Wolves in the opening round.

dignitas, who had been touted as favourites to reach the final of the qualifier, were surprised in the semi-finals by Swedish mix team AliGon, featuring players like Marcus "⁠Delpan⁠" Larsson, Jerry "⁠xelos⁠" Råberg and Gustav "⁠KAB0M⁠" Runemalm.

PENTA qualify for CCS league

PENTA Sports, who recently picked up Tobias "⁠Troubley⁠" Tabbert, reached the tournament decider after edging past German rivals myKPV 2-1 and beating CPH Wolves by a 2-0 scoreline.

The grand final used a best-of-five format, and even though all the maps were very close, PENTA Sports' experience and teamplay always prevailed as they ran out 3-0 victors following 16-12 victories on de_cache and de_inferno and a 16-13 win on de_dust2.

pls read the article first... no one cares about some pictures... "The grand final used a best-of-five format" And i know hltv fucked it up

2015-03-09 17:23

they noobs

gratz

nice.

I love Penta's playstyle ,i hope we'll see some good matches :)

2015-03-09 14:14

Its pretty cool to watch as they play very aggresive and lot of gambles (which work most of the time, good read). At least thats my opinion. Very risky style but its cool to watch

2015-03-09 14:33

nice boys

Wait... No NA spots for $110k+ tournament.. really?

The main part of this tournament is going to be played online, with the finalists locking horns at the Dreamhack Bucharest LAN in April. Kinda hard for NA vs EU online match-ups to be playable and enjoyable, don't you think?

2015-03-09 14:19

seperate us league - 1 NA team can qualify for offline finals. that would have worked. ;)

2015-03-09 17:39

Well yea, I agree with you. I don't know the reasons behind the org's decision in not making a qualifier of some sort for NA teams, too.

2015-03-09 19:02

Waste of money?

so fucking ez for fnatic

2015-03-09 14:17

fnatic will win everything from here on in this year so ez pz them.

did titan lose their qualification match or why they are not in it, does someone know?

who cares about titan, weird that they haven't disbanded yet

2015-03-09 14:21

putin pls

2015-03-09 16:53

top 8

when is it? where is it? c`mon HLTV tell us these things, youre a news site for gods sake.

... there already IS a news thread about it. Better look before writing something next time k?

2015-03-09 15:43

It's in Romania. Here you can find the details - csgoseries.com/

2015-03-09 17:01

so much potentional on PENTA

2015-03-09 14:28

yay, Penta <3

2015-03-09 14:42

denis topfragging wow well done denis !!! keep it up

2015-03-09 14:49

Damn, those participants... it will be a hell of a tournament. With new rosters and Vengance between teams.

You're actually right. Despite Penta being the best team in Germany they're still so bad that if you lose 0-3 to them even if every map is 21-19, you're bad.

2015-03-09 14:50

Hope you ppl enjoyed the stream!We gave it our best :) and don't forget on the 17th we have the groups

2015-03-09 15:24

It was nice to see some details that are not present in other well known streams. I genuinely like the casters, I think they made a good choice.

2015-03-09 15:46

good performances keep it up

2015-03-09 15:27

Flipside for maybe Hellraisers? Close between those 2 I think.

m8, they played a bo5 this week for the spot in CCS, and bo3 on last week, and it's 5-1 for f3 in map score

2015-03-09 15:45

True, plus I didn't even notice titan were missing!

2015-03-09 18:35

F3 beat HR twice recently, BO3 and BO5.

2015-03-09 22:17

pretty close to that, at least. Titan should arguably be in there. I'd say they are still above flipside and slightly above penta's level.

2015-03-09 17:51

Anyone know if LGB participated in the qualifier? I feel like they are slacking off, PENTA is in like every league but LGB is only in FaceIT atm? And Katowice ofc.
