ESL One Katowice bracket drawn

13-3-2015 01:44

The ESL One Katowice bracket has been drawn after TSM advanced to the quarter-finals from the last match of the group stage.

Even though we have seen surprises in the form of PENTA advancing over Titan and LGB, as well as Keyd Stars over HellRaisers and CLG, all of the favourites won their respective groups.

The bracket was drawn shortly after TSM finished the last match of the group stage, which saw them taking revenge against Cloud9 on Overpass. First seeded teams were randomly drawn to second seeds, with one exception - the teams from the same group couldn't meet right in the quarter-finals.

EnVyUs will kick off day two in Katowice

fnatic will get to meet PENTA and the Brazilians from Keyd Stars were drawn to Virtus.pro at the upper half of the bracket, while EnVyUs will re-match Na`Vi after their semi-final at DreamHack Winter 2014 and NiP will meet TSM on Saturday.

Take a look at the the bracket below:

fnatic	vs. PENTA
Virtus.pro	vs. Keyd Stars
EnVyUs	vs. Na`Vi
NiP	vs. TSM

Note that the matches are not in chronological order, as tomorrow, EnVyUs and Na`Vi are playing first, followed up by fnatic and PENTA, and the day will close with Virtus.pro and Keyd Stars. The last quarter-final between NiP and TSM is played on Saturday.

LETS GO NIP

2015-03-13 02:01

If they're going to win they're going to need to beat TSM, probably ENVY, probably Fnatic. They had an easy group but a pretty tough run now.

Semi final and final are always going to be tough. QF can be a mixed bag. They got an easy group but they have the hardest QF.

ENVY have the hardest QF IMO.

Debatable. Na'Vi doesn't look to be in the best form. TSM played well in their lost game (13-2 CT half on nuke). Na'Vi got totally rekt on CT side of cobble.

Agreed, Na Vi is a very streaky inconsistent team at times, but when they get going, its going to be one tough match for anyone facing them. I'm going to go with EnVyUs on my Pick Em though.

ko ima bolju farbu za kosu ti ili JW ???

2015-03-13 14:15

go vp

snax ez

2015-03-13 01:47

groups without surprises - boring quarterfinals, lets hope navi and tsm can step up

While it was a complete shock that Titan didn't make it, I don't think most people thought they would go out in two games.

2015-03-13 01:48

it was pretty obvious, why do people still believe in titan after shitty performance for so long?

2015-03-13 03:36

ye CLG and keyd winning against HR ( huge comeback from CLG) c9 winning against TSM after huge comeback keyd dominating CLG 12-0 or whatever it was Penta dominating Titan boring groups l3l

2015-03-13 01:54

GO KEYD

RIP Penta and Keyd

fnatic 2-0 vp 2-0 nip 2-1 nv 2-0 or 2-1

2015-03-13 01:49

never navi lose to nv,

2015-03-13 11:48

dhw 2014... wtf r u saying

2015-03-13 12:21

I like it NiP could play against Envy in Semis and VP in Finals. :D

2015-03-13 01:51

Good luck Na'Vi. Need all 5 players to be on point for a chance to win.

C9 out??? How??? Got sick???

2015-03-13 01:50

Penta ez win

This is dumb. 2 Majors in a row VP get a free pass in 1/4 :/ lucky them. Hopefully EnvyUs and TSM are ion the finals

Free pass or not, they won last time, so...

2015-03-13 01:57

lets see if this will be a free pass..

2015-03-13 04:07

Envy cant meet tsm in the grandfinal cuz they would match up at semi against each other... For me it was so clear that vp will get keyd cuz the tournament is in polski

2015-03-13 10:33

VP was seed 1 in their group,so they wont get to play envy,nip,fnatic. The only opponents they can face are navi,keyd,penta,tsm. And i guess VP can beat 3 of them quite easily,maybe a struggle against navi.

2015-03-13 10:41

GO VP!

2015-03-13 01:52

so basiclly all first seed teams will advance to semis...

2015-03-13 01:53

navi title or bust

VP opponent draw conspiracy inc.?

2015-03-13 01:55

I heard they were suppose to play Navi and then it was changed wtf

2015-03-13 02:26

cuz it's polando.

2015-03-13 02:36

Anyway KeyD > NaVi at the moment

2015-03-13 07:01

lol vp

#GOKeyd

2015-03-13 01:59

rip keyd, but was very good run for now, this guys will improve more.

2015-03-13 02:00

Only possible upsets I see here are TSM and Na'vi, since both teams have a high ceiling, but they might as well just lose 2-0. Envy and fnatic should advance with no problems.

You mean VP and fnatic advance with no problems? If na'vi shows up big it's going to be tough for envy

2015-03-13 02:56

I could have sworn that VP were set to meet Navi, but as it stands now, then yes.

2015-03-13 03:03

Keyd

2015-03-13 02:06

wtf i.imgur.com/jegkyO6.jpg

2015-03-13 02:09

2015-03-13 02:23

well its unofficial site i guess something like wikipedia

fnatic,vp,envy, but nip/tsm idk

2015-03-13 02:11

probably fnatic, EnVyUs, virtus.pro and NiP going to half finals.. can only see Na`Vi causing an upset eventually - go for it GuardiaN..

captain obvious

2015-03-13 02:34

nip and envy again the easiest bracket :/

these are all bo3 correct?

2015-03-13 02:38

Yep

2015-03-13 02:41

fnatic vs vp in 1/2 ;(

2015-03-13 02:43

2015-03-13 10:43

RIP Penta, rooting for the underdogs like Penta and TSM Hope EnVyUS wins this whole thing

2015-03-13 03:20

NiP x VP rematch would be sick

2015-03-13 04:28

I picked Keyd after finding out their previous results including boot camp which were really solid. Woke up to see they made it through. Congrats on achieving your goal at first major Keyd Stars <3

2015-03-13 05:08

the easiest to keyd team would be the VP, the only chance to see them between 4 was that , hard match , but I still believe in keyd, they have two strong maps Mirage / dust2 and two intermediate maps Inferno / Cache, they can surprise the world, almost did it against fnatic in the Clutch-Con winning the first map

2015-03-13 06:12

inb4 2-0 32-0

2015-03-13 06:13

Yeah, at least they will play confident since fallen wanted to play against VP, if they wanna win that's their best chance.

2015-03-13 07:37

Don't take me wrog i belive KeyD is quite stong and it could be esier to draw team like NaVi for VP. The problem of KeyD is that VP have huge advantage in map pool since D2 easy ban for VP and surely i dont want to take VP on mirage or cache.
