Liquid win RGN NA Intercontinental II

16-4-2015 07:05

While much of the day's evening action here in North America was centered around the CEVO-P Season 6 finals, North American contender Liquid secured themselves a first place victory in the RGN Intercontinental II series as well.

In a world of no work weeks, Liquid very well may have qualified for the CEVO-P Season 6 finals that took place this week, however the team were forced to forfeit their remaining matches due to scheduling issues with the offline finals.

Regardless, Eric "⁠adreN⁠" Hoag and his men stayed busy and competitive today by winning the online RGN Intercontinental II series in North America, netting a healthy $2,000 prize as well as an invite to the RGN Pro Series in North America (for which dates are upcoming).

Liquid made it through to the grand finals as favourites, and ultimately found themselves facing off against Fenix Fire, an up-and-coming squad that many in the North American scene have had their eye on as of late.

However, the difference in tiers between Liquid, who competed at the ESL One Katowice Main Qualifiers and MLG X Games Aspen, and Fenix Fire was noticeable in the series.

Despite putting up a solid fight, Fenix looked unlikely to take the series to a second best-of-three and ultimately expired, giving Liquid the win with scores of 16:7 on de_mirage and 16:9 on de_cache.

There are no tier 1 teams in NA. CLG/elevate/C9 are tier 2 at best.

Katowice closed qualifiers + the X Games MLG tourney.

2015-04-16 08:20

There were no tier 1 teams at the Katowice closed qualifiers (except mabe Titan) and as I recall, only EU teams made it out of groups at Aspen.

2015-04-16 16:33

Top tier NA teams, phrased it poorly.

2015-04-16 08:30

CLG has beaten envyus and titan which are both tier 1 so I think CLG is a tier one team.

GPlay has taken maps from Envy and trains and often beats Titan. Gplay Tier 1 confirmed... Kappa. Also Titan is not Tier 1.

2015-04-16 09:30

If Titans not tier 1, how many teams are? like 6?

2015-04-16 12:40

One good tournament doesn't make them tier 1. By this logic GPlay is tier 1 too, Titan very barely beat them in a Bo3 lan few days before the ESL tournament. Flukes happen. Titan need to prove themselves this year. Then we can talk about tier 1.

2015-04-16 16:31

Beating EnVy in BO1 doesnt make them Tier 1 lol.. You dumb fucks even think PTR is a fucking god after the show he put up on MLG against EnVy. He never performed that well ever since.

2015-04-16 11:12

your thinking is wrong

2015-04-16 13:21

Fantastic logic 10/10

2015-04-16 15:00

2015-04-16 08:10

They qualified to Katowice didn't they?

2015-04-16 08:18

ayy adren won a $2k first place prized tournament, congrats.

2015-04-16 09:45

Why so much hate ? You guys should be happy that there are a lot of competitions, with a lot of teams which make the game more interesting for everyone. Also, they never said they were tier1 team but at least they are trying to achieve something while you're trying to drag them down. In the end, it brings a lot more of exposure for the game which is definitely good.

2015-04-16 13:55

Why is this tournament called "Intercontinental" when it's just NA teams? .... LEL

2015-04-16 22:23

We have a EU and NA tournaments running at the same time.

2015-04-16 22:28

The EU Intercontinental final is upcoming today

2015-04-17 07:47

Ah, thanks. This clears things up a bit :D

2015-04-17 19:11

lol this cup was worth it more than the CEVO finals to begin with. if you count the lost wages from work for traveling to MLG stadium and the cost of the trip itself.
