ESL One Cologne contest winners

The winners of our ESL One Cologne hype video contest have been decided by your votes - here are the 13 users who will receive tickets to the upcoming major!

Yesterday we have asked you, HLTV.org's users, to vote on five of the hype videos we have chosen as the finalists and you were given the opportunity to decide on who gets the tickets to ESL One Cologne.

After nearly a full day of voting, we have closed the count earlier today at 17:00 and come to the following three videos, whose creators will be getting tickets, with the winner getting two and two runner-ups getting one each.

We would like to thank everyone who took the time to create a hype video once again, winners and runner-ups can be found below:

Winner - Video #3 by WezuArts (2 tickets)

Runner-up - Video #2 by sedogs (1 ticket)

Runner-up - Video #1 by SiCKO (1 ticket)

Don't forget that we've also decided to give out 10 more tickets to random participants of our contest, who will go to ESL One Cologne later this month:

  • Denmark Åsgård - #515518
  • United Kingdom FlyKikUrNan - #635186
  • United Kingdom W0LFB0Y - #490310
  • Finland LTNyo - #572643
  • Norway wezukevin - #634542
  • Other draegy - #619805
  • Germany owlyable - #544021
  • Norway logicww - #633464
  • United States sting_cs - #633237
  • Finland rawrie - #496965

All winners and randomly chosen users are to send a private message to Nomad with shipping details (name and full address) and a phone number for the tickets.

Time is adjusted to your selected timezone

I agree, clear people who voted had no idea what was going on, and what editing really is. What the guy did can be done on windows movie maker. Referring to people had no idea what they were doing : i.imgur.com/uYBRJ45.png

This is ESL, one of the biggest companies for tournaments, imagine what the quality of this video would do to them. It's so poor. Secondly, yes it did have hype but it's not what should of been voted. In the article it said vote for a clip (eg. #3) And ive seen atleast 5 people who said #3 even though I didn't even watch any videos.

Nice bait attempt kid, one thing that can't be made? I can name you 5 things easily 1. The color correction 2. RSMB (reel smart motion blur) 3. Film burns with multiple different blending modes applied 4. Half the transitions he used aren't these petty wmm presets your familiar with 5. Sharpening Mad that you didn't get what you wanted? Now stfu, you don't know anything about video editing

I agree, it just looks so amateur like the vídeos we often saw about Best Moments, but people liked because of the funny part, i can't agree with this, its a serious tournament like Champions League. And what were those letters?really looks like Movie Maker imo

Hey everyone, as seen above I am one of the randomly selected winners and therefore I have won a ticket. However due to me being located in the United States I can not make the event. If anyone wants the ticket to be sent to them, please message me your name, address, and phone number. I know that giving up private information to a complete stranger on the internet is crazy and therefore understand if no one messages me. But as seen above I have won and do not want this ticket to go to waste. First come first serve. Also if the owners of this contest see this comment and object to me giving away the ticket, feel free to re-roll so someone else can get it.

I dont agree with WezuArts being first, the video quality and other stuff looks like shit. SiCKO should have definetely won that.
