ESL One Cologne contest winners

7-8-2015 00:40

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:

Åsgård - #515518
FlyKikUrNan - #635186
W0LFB0Y - #490310
LTNyo - #572643
wezukevin - #634542
draegy - #619805
owlyable - #544021
logicww - #633464
sting_cs - #633237
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.

they did the best videos? :D

2015-08-07 00:43

because if a NA guy wins the tickets it`s going to cost him almost 1k dollars flying to europe and staying there...

:D Congratulations though

2015-08-07 02:44

#3 imo was the worst one

12 replies

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

2015-08-07 00:57

This is the "hype contest", #3 was the most hyperino, and it deserved to win.

2015-08-07 01:11

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.

2015-08-07 01:15

Im sure 5 people made a big difference.

2015-08-07 01:50

If you don't understand english, I said "Atleast 5 people" Secondly, those are people who actually said "I dont know what im doing" there are probabbly more

2015-08-07 02:28

Ok fine. Im sure "at least 5 people" is not making such a huge difference like your suggesting.

"should of" Why Internet, why?

2015-08-07 14:36

They probably voted because of the overused "le funny allu redbull maymay lel xDD heheheautism"

2015-08-07 02:22

LOL, the fact you've said this can be done in windows movie maker proves your ignorance in moviemaking. Don't try and act like you know anything about editing

2015-08-07 03:41

Are you fucking dumb, tell me one thing that cant be made? Please, and if you ignore this comment cause you got proven wrong, just know stop acting like you're smart.

2015-08-07 03:46

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

2015-08-07 03:50

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

2015-08-07 03:28

2015-08-07 00:50

I don't mean this is any better than other people's and i should've had more in-game footage except in the end but i think if that many people won i would've too :D:D I did+uploaded this second day of contest but deleted to add more content but whatever i forgot ::D but honestly i didn't WANT to win a ticket with this little of my own ingame footage except in the end and commentators too not only music :) youtube.com/watch?v=DF-uVmcvsIA (nvm they gave to RANDOM participants, then i wouldn't have won anyways mayn )

2015-08-07 11:37

Nice vid!

2015-08-07 11:59

hahaaa not good video someone dislike ;))

2015-08-07 13:04

Number One was the best one but ok :(

2015-08-07 01:17

2015-08-07 02:55

Congratz!! Awesome videos! =]

2015-08-07 01:41

I like #3 but I think the filters were too overdone, anyway gz all, shame #5 missed out

2015-08-07 01:44

expected

#1 isn't 1080p60? what a shame but congrats

2015-08-07 01:53

2015-08-07 01:59

gratZ

2015-08-07 02:00

lol at asgaard he called me a third wolder well i am

2015-08-07 02:04

Wow, the winner's video is really nice!

Won only because of the "allus red bull comment"

2015-08-07 02:05

If you read this SiCKO, your video was by far the best. :)

2015-08-07 02:18

+1, really different video he did it great without using a common eletronic song and very well timed effects

2015-08-07 03:30

2015-08-07 03:34

Very happy you liked it! :)

2015-08-07 03:47

+1 yeah it was the only hype video in my opinion.

2015-08-07 08:13

2015-08-07 02:46

ez wezu

2015-08-07 03:32

the shittiest one rigged jk good video:)

congratz for the winners

2015-08-07 03:59

2015-08-07 04:16

Anyone know #1 song name? Also #1 got me the most hyped tbh.

2015-08-07 04:32

Grats :D

2015-08-07 06:33

so you basically get the ticket and have to pay for the rest of it yourself ? rip tickets

2015-08-07 06:48

#3 actually tells a great story. Congratulations. I knew you'll win it

2015-08-07 07:18

2015-08-07 07:42

2Finns won tickets. Lurppiss is a Finn. That equals 3. Triangle has three angles ILLUMINATU CONFIRMED

2015-08-07 08:12

#1 is the only hype video of those three. #2 and #3 are like recap videos of previous competitions, no hype at all. I don't understand how how people don't see that.

they are premium tickets,arent they?

2015-08-07 08:19

congratulations to the winners. Have a blast guys

2015-08-07 08:53

GZ to all the winners hf

2015-08-07 09:07

Expected, he is the legend.

2015-08-07 10:25

winner looks like a montage edit who the hell voted for this community plz

2015-08-07 10:27

Nt. But my video was better than all of them combined. youtube.com/watch?v=s4N2fmMB_JE

2015-08-07 11:02

But you still kinda won :P

2015-08-07 12:35

Its maybe because copyrihghted music . The thing you needed to use free music

2015-08-07 13:58

Oh my god. Its just absolutely fantastic video and edit. I thought #1 was the best but when I saw yours.. No words. excellent work

2015-08-07 14:19

I sense the salt.

2015-08-07 14:20

JUST WOW... WTF this is not even in the 5 chosen? you are right man, the only one who really gave me chills. BEST ONE.

2015-08-07 22:43

Where is FGW apply ? FGW the one who made tsm draw & nip dh valencia , he isnt in final list ? WTF?

2015-08-07 11:23

how the fuck was that the winner when I could have better quality videos with no experience with vegas at all.

2015-08-07 12:46

its good!

2015-08-07 13:35

That one was the worst honestly. 1 and 5 were solid, 2 had good music and decent editing, but you don't make a Cologne hype video ending with 'Your Katowice champions are fnatic!'.

2015-08-07 13:43

2015-08-07 14:03

Aww yeah only NA winner!

2015-08-07 14:13

nice wezu

2015-08-07 14:30

the video is so fucking shit... how can people vote that???

2015-08-07 14:48

gz :)

2015-08-07 14:57

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.
