DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca 2015 Qualifier at DreamHack Open Stockholm

DH Open Stockholm groups announced

15-9-2015 22:01

DreamHack have announced the group draw for its upcoming Open event in Stockholm, which will run from September 22-26 and also function as a qualifier for the upcoming CS:GO major.

With 16 teams from across the world flying in to Stockholm for September 22-26, DreamHack's Open event will span across two stages and witness an eye-watering best-of-three, double elimination format.

The top eight performing teams (and just which matches will determine said advancements can be seen below in our schedule) will qualify as challengers for next month's CS:GO major at DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca.

Eight teams automatically were placed into the event via their 9-16th place finishes at ESL One Cologne, whereas the other eight teams have been slogging it out via online pre-qualifiers in order to compete: five in Europe, two in North America, and one in Asia.

Titan will share Group B with HellRaisers, eBettle, and Skyred

The official group draw for the event has now taken place, and places the teams into four groups according to an individual team-based seeding:

Group A	Group B	Group C	Group D
Cloud9	HellRaisers	Renegades	CLG
Immunity	Titan	mousesports	FlipSid3
MIXCAT	eBettle	Team Liquid	Lounge Gaming
dignitas	Skyred	Mythic	CPH Wolves

As was announced only recently, the Chinese team QeeYou have been replaced by the Vietnamese team Skyred due to the former running into difficulty obtaining visas for the event in time.

The updated schedule, which actually sees Group B play out after Group D and then Group C due to visa and arrival timing, for the event is now:

Tuesday, September 22
12:30	Cloud9	vs. MIXCAT
15:30	Immunity	vs. dignitas
18:30	Group A Upper Bracket Final		*
21:30	Group A Lower Bracket
Wednesday, September 23
12:30	FlipSid3	vs. CPH Wolves

21:30	Group D Lower Bracket
Thursday, September 24
12:30	mousesports	vs. Mythic
15:30	Renegades	vs. Team Liquid
18:30	Group C Upper Bracket Final		*
21:30	Group C Lower Bracket

12:05	Group A Decider Match		*
15:05	Group D Decider Match		*
18:05	Group C Decider Match		*
21:05	Group B Decider Match		*

* Winner qualifies for DH Open Cluj-Napoca

The first four days of the event will play out at the Monster Energy DreamHack Studios, which will be closed to the public.

The final day, when all four best-of-three decider matches will take place, will take place at the Annexet Global Arena. Those interested in attending can purchase tickets here.

Nearly getting top 8 in Cologne > 0 LAN results Previous results are more reliable than comparing skill

Fair enough, but I think this lineup has major potential, with twist and jkaem. Both are insane players.

2015-09-15 20:20

In that case twist got to Katowice 2014 semi final > f3

I think Liquid will destroy renegades and possibly even beat mouz to top the group. Even mythic have a good chance vs renegades

2015-09-15 21:10

13 replies

mousesports and renegades have both beat liquid convincingly in bo3s, but without hiko etc. i still dont think they're gonna be any good on lan since the core got demolished so many times already

12 replies

Old teams, if youve been watching liquid lately theyve looked like a different force, polished up all their teamplay issues and no more conflicting roles, nitr0 playing like a beast

2015-09-15 21:15

nitro and elige stepping up but they're playing pugs in na. its a lot different, even vs t2 eu teams

2015-09-15 21:16

4 replies

Didnt know LG and clg are just 'pugs from na' :/

2015-09-15 21:19

they've been playing like it

2015-09-15 21:20

Or liquids just been playing better, as a viewer you can defnitely see that as a team they look a lot stronger than with flowsick now that theyve had prac with hiko

2015-09-15 21:21

CLG pug all their online games lmao. its unfortunate as a fan. hopefully they start trying for esea league

2015-09-15 23:53

They beat flowsick liquid. Hiko liquid is a completely different beast.

2015-09-15 21:30

completely overrated beast*

2015-09-15 21:32

Beat luminosity in a bo5 and a bo3, beat CLG in bo3s, win the only tournament they've entered so far, and yet they're overrated? Were you dropped as a child?

2015-09-15 21:49

come back after they dont qualify and win less than 20 rounds overall, thanks.

2015-09-15 21:51

Liquid has the easiest group. Mouse sports is crap versus US and Mythic is just crap period.

2015-09-15 22:38

mousesports is crap vs us teams when they're 1-1 vs c9 and 1-0 vs liquid?

2015-09-15 22:48

i agree spence renegades will take it ez

2015-09-15 21:33

Renegades over liquid ez

2015-09-15 20:12

inb4 niko chokes and only gets 5 kills

+1 Except CPH Wolves over CSGOLounge.

CPH Wolfes is way better than dorby polaks

2015-09-15 20:45

i aren't think that.

2015-09-15 20:47

depends which Liquid shows up.

2015-09-15 20:53

joelz on lan? I are think that

ist da irgendeine story hinter? ich kenn den nicht so ^^

2015-09-15 23:55

dh stockholm with 0 Swedish teams xd

5 swedes across all teams though lol

Sad, Sweden used to have great T2 teams. edit: Btw, are there any T2 Swedish teams except for fnatic and NiP?

2015-09-15 20:29

I guess Property is a tier 2 team. They just need one or two solid guys. Swedens best hope for another top 10 team used to be Acer when Threat led them. Unfortunately they disbanded. I guess we'll have to wait until property gets their shit togheter. The talent is there, they just need to find it.

2015-09-15 20:37

swedes usually dont even have to qualify..

2015-09-21 23:55

liquid have tough group

A: Cloud9, dignitas B: HR, eBettle C: mousesports, Liquid D: CLG, Flipsid3

fan of titan? k den

2015-09-15 20:27

It doesn't prevent me from seeing them struggling too much, so yeah, I think they're to lose to HR and eBettle.

i see, those are the same as mine predictions only with titan instead of ebettle

2015-09-15 20:38

CSGOLOunge? What?

polish g2

2015-09-15 20:07

nice

jOELZ WILL BEAT C9

Cloud9 to win the whole thing or rip

Group D = easy mode

RIP GROUP C

Group C group of death :(((

2015-09-15 20:09

Rigged. why Titan playing vs skyred first match? and not ebettle or hr? :D

2015-09-15 20:17

Group A:Cloud9 ,Dignitas Group B:Titan ,Hellraisers Group C:mousesports ,Liquid Group D:CPH Wolves ,CLG

2015-09-15 20:10

c9 or titan will probably win this event

2015-09-15 20:11

Looks like we're gonna have 3 NA teams going to DH. EZ

c9 dig hr titan mouz liquid clg flipside

Group A: C9 + Mixcat. Dignitas have always problems on such quals. Group B: Titan ezpz + HR yuri's revenge. Group C: Ezpz for Hiko and Niko Group D: Hardest group for betting. Think CPH and F3 will take this. Polando team is always weak on quals like Dignitas and CLG in bad form.

well if dignitas dont get to the major with this group they should just disband in group c im not really sure i think renegades have better chances than liquid since elige and nitr0 are pretty online but its pretty sure that mouz will qualify :D

fuck, forgot about Rene. Ye, looks like it will bad quals for muricans.

2015-09-15 20:19

HELLRAISERS CIS FLAG PLEASE FIX.

3 Ukrainians 2 KZ, I aren't think that.

2015-09-15 22:12

Nope. 2 Ukr 2 KZ. s1mple stand-in.

2015-09-15 22:14

So s1mple is not a human from Ukraine? Nt German Nazi cheater. Fix your brain.

2015-09-15 22:19

Are you retarded? HE ISN'T A PART OF THE TEAM. HE IS A STAND-IN. YOU DON'T CHANGE THE FLAG OF A TEAM BASED ON A STAND-IN, IF SO THEN KINGUIN WOULD HAVE HAD A SWEDISH FLAG WHEN F0REST WAS A STAND-IN FOR RAIN. YOU ARE RETARDED.

2015-09-15 23:02

Expected

2015-09-15 20:14

easy for joelz

ez for csgolounge

dig mixcat titan hr mouz rng lounge flipside

2015-09-15 20:15

LOLOL when you think CSGOLounge is making it out of their group.

ye I was kinda torn between them and CPH Wolves, guess CPH are kinda the favourites

Lol @ the fact ur puttinf clg at last

2015-09-15 21:04

ebettle vs titan again. I hope you will qualify guys

Why do group D always has the strongest teams?

Tier 2 teams. HAHAHA...... ResidentSleeper

No shit? Tier 1 teams have already qualified.

yeah IKR. They are already qualified for the next major because they finished top 8 in Cologne. I still find this funny that a torny without T1 team.

that's why it's called qualifier for the major...

2015-09-15 20:24

group C wow

ez skin ez csgolounge

Oddly enough....these groups are semi-even, which is surprising as hell lol.

I was just about to say that. Hey, but it's only the qualifiers. Once we get to the major we'll see the stupid groups. EnVyUs Na`Vi mousesports Cloud9

On the bright side there's no VP, so C9 (unless they play like they did recently) have a solid chance. Inb4 they steal your group and actually make that a group, LOL.

2015-09-15 20:26

Fuck, I should delete that comment. The sad part is that Cloud9 are probably still going to be matched up with Virtus.pro.

2015-09-15 20:35

Until the end of time.

2015-09-15 20:36

I hope CLG + CPH Wolves for group D

2015-09-15 20:41

C9/dig Titan/HR mouz/Liquid Flipsid3/CSGOLounge

Dream group for joelz.

Good luck guys

2 ez 4 Skyred

A: Cloud9 & Mixcat (in jOELZ I believe) B: Titan & SkyRed (ez 4 Vietnam) C: Renegades & Mouz (I think Renegades is and will always be a top 16 team) D: CLG & Flipsid3 (no chance for lounge)

-cloud9 +immunity -clg +lounge -titan +hr

2015-09-15 20:42

Worst troll 2015.

2015-09-15 20:46

so we will have 3 polish teams at major . nice

2015-09-15 20:31

Uh, nah, only one, Virtus.pro. RIP brain if you think there are any Polish teams that can qualify with these groups.

hahaha quote me after stockholm, can see u are murican so u are not as smart as me in terms of cs because i am europe! rip your brain

2015-09-15 20:50

Dat b8 waz far from gr8

2015-09-15 22:40

Skyred has a chance :>

ez csgl

2015-09-15 20:32

group c omg

2015-09-15 20:33

Group A: C9 should walk it, if they dont then i think its time for changes. 2Md place will be between Dignitas and Immunity. Have to side with Dignitas - they've looked much stronger since schneider joined. Group B: Group of death. Don't know much about asian scene but I imagine theyre the underdogs. HR with s1mple will be strong if he doesnt tilt his own team. Titan afe getting back to their form now so reckon Titan 1st and HR 2nd. Sorry eBettle I like you but just dont see it this time. Group C: Actually think Liquid have a chance here. They've been impressive online and if that form continues to LAN then i can see them being better than Renegades and taking to Mousesports. If Mousesports turn up on form then they'll take 1st and going to go with Liquid as a surprise 2nd. Group D: Very even group. The more I watch CPH Wolves the more I rate them, would quite like them to upset here. Flipsid3 to take 1st and CPH to upset CLG who havent been performing that well recently.

You have to remember, adreN is much better online, just saying. And Liquid as a whole are better online imo.

+1 adreN/EliGE onlinemeisters.

2015-09-15 20:44

CSGOLOUNGE for lyfe

2015-09-15 20:57

RNG to destroy hiko inc ez!

Group C looks scary, can't predict who will get out since they're all close level

2015-09-15 21:00

I think jOELZ will beat Cloud9 and improve his LAN win streak to 1

2015-09-15 21:01

CLG has chance in this.

2015-09-15 21:03

Good writing, although attached lineups would be great. Thank you Liquidpedia! wiki.teamliquid.net/counterstrike/DreamH..

lineups are not confirmed tough

2015-09-15 21:07

c9 on a slump, MIXCAT can pull it off

I think C9 are far better than the rest of their group. Dig maybe have a chance if they have a good day but however off form C9 are they'll hammer MIXCAT. Would love to see MIXCAT take 2nd though.

2015-09-15 21:54

s1mple at major hype? Can't wait to get his autograph on my tec-9 Toxic <3

jOELZ is coming! OMG!!!!!

2015-09-15 21:27

[*] Titan, they always get group of death

Nasu is playing instead of Joelz at the LAN. rip dreams of seeing Joelz @LAN

joelz vs shroud pls battle of the century

2015-09-15 21:35

ez 4 joelz, I have faith in you my friend!

2015-09-15 21:40

joelz is not playing

2015-09-15 21:41

A: c9, Dignitas, Immunity, Mix C9 are far and away the best team in the group. Dignitas' recent roster change makes them a wild card, but also takes away a bit of chemistry. Immunity and Mix have no chance, though. B: Titan, Ebet, HR, Skyred Titan is the clear favorite in this group, although Ebettle could repeat the Cologne qualifier and win the group but I don't see that happening. HellRaisers with simple instead of Dosia is going to be interesting. It's too bad that outside of Mou the rest of them kind of blow now, though. Skyred is an unknown quantity, but I can't see them putting up much of a fight. C: Liquid, Mouz, Renegades, Mythic This is the group of death. Mouz's recent niko change makes them better skill wise, but their communication will suffer as they change to English. Liquid's addition of Hiko makes them scary good. They've already beaten Luminosity to a pulp, handled CLG, and shown consistency that has been expected since they joined the org. Renegades is a known quantity at this point, they won't really surprise anyone in the group. This lan will be the test for them. If they can make it through, they'll solidify their place in the top of tier 2. If not, they fade into obscurity. Mythic has had roster change after roster change in the last few months. It's not really a strong roster in terms of fragging ability, but their experience is pretty nutty. That said, DW isn't IGL anymore, so his fragging has to step up or he'll be a serious crutch. They'll probably finish last in this group, but their form since adding xp3 is encouraging. D: CLG, F3, Lounge, CPH Easiest group CLG could've asked for, frankly. If they do not win this group, I'd expect a roster change. Nothing else to add to this one, really.

2015-09-15 21:47

You've got group D completely wrong, it's the most even and unpredictable. No clear favorite in that group.

Disagree with Group A, Immunity showed some very promising signs in Cologne and Dignitas have been seriously shaky recently, especially against T2 teams.

2015-09-15 23:23

You would be correct if it was best of one. In a bo3 they haven't a snowball's chance in hell.

2015-09-15 23:35

twitter.com/suNnycsgo/status/64386160919.. joelz not playing.

Ridiculous. Never has such a (supposedly) good player dodged so many LANs with no reason given at all. What a cunt.

2015-09-15 21:59

Have you ever thought about that theres a smallest of chances that he has a legitimate reason he dont attend lans? somekind of mental health issue etc... and reading all of the shit people talk about him just makes it worse?

2015-09-15 22:17

Zuggin too much dig is not a good reason.

2015-09-15 22:37

I have thought that yes. However, if he had a legitimate reason and considering how much hype/interest there is around his situation. And also considering the importance of this particular event for the teams who've made it, and those who didn't because he played then I think it's reasonable to expect him to give a reason. If it's a good one then I'm sure people would understand. If it's all kept quiet and he just carries on playign random online things and helping mix teams qualify for LANs they don't deserve to go to then fuck him.

2015-09-15 22:47

eBettle versus HR and Titan I have deja vu

i guess i will never see joelz on lan :(

EZ for Shox

2015-09-15 22:06

why no joelz bro

2015-09-15 22:11

2015-09-15 23:58

For the major this qualifier is for yes.

2015-09-16 00:14

Renegades to top group <3

2015-09-16 00:22

Cloud9 easy. Group C is going to be an interesting one.

2015-09-16 00:38

i really hope Titan won't make it again

2015-09-16 00:42

Yet again clown9 gets handed the easiest group in the world

2015-09-16 00:56

skyred go go go

2015-09-16 04:29

why is joelz famed??

2015-09-16 11:44

Why so much hype on joelz? He is just medium tier player and so popular?

2015-09-16 12:48

JOELZzZzZ COME ON!

2015-09-16 15:32

Titan in group with eBettle? Rip baguettes.

2015-09-16 15:35

So many days for matches and yet, the teams are very dependent on their seed, ie. what group they are placed in. How come no cross group matches? Last day could be Group A winner bracket loser - Group B lower bracket winner Group B winner bracket loser - Group A lower bracket winner That way 3 teams could get spots at major if they deserve it. Right now you just find the 2 best teams of each group - maybe a 3rd placed team of one group is better than a 2nd placed team of another group. I was looking forward to a better format with all this time available for Dreamhack.
