CEVO S8 finalists determined

16-10-2015 14:54

The online portion of CEVO Season 8's Professional divisions has come to an end, with all eight finalists having been determined.

Over the last two months, 12 teams from Europe and North America faced each other for the chance to attend the season finals, which will take place at the MLG.tv arena, in Columbus, Ohio from November 6-8.

The European division was topped by Titan, who impressed everyone by winning nine out of 11 matches. The French side were followed by dignitas, who finished second on a 7-3-1 record.

There was a two-way tie for third place between G2 and HellRaisers as the teams amassed 14 points. Since the match between these sides ended in a 1-1 stalemate, CEVO looked at the head-to-head round record, which sees the Ukrainian side advance to the offline finals.

Team Liquid topped the North American division

Last night, Mikail "⁠Maikelele⁠" Bill took to Twitter to state that Overtime rounds were not being considered by CEVO to determine the head-to-head record, but that is not the case. Even with OT rounds considered, G2 still have a worse record (-1 against HR's +1 if rounds are considered, -4 against HR's +4 if they are not considered).

In North America, things were more straightforward: Team Liquid finished at the top of the table on 20 points, followed by Luminosity Gaming (17) and Conquest (16).

These six teams will be joined by Virtus.pro and Natus Vincere, the top two teams from Season 7, at the event, which means that the list of participants comprises:

Virtus.pro	Null element Na`Vi
Titan	dignitas
HellRaisers	Team Liquid
Luminosity	Conquest

nice

They were considered. With OT rounds included: HR = 32 W / 31L = +1 G2 = 31 W / 32L = -1 Without OT rounds: HR = 31 W / 27L = +4 G2 = 27 W / 31L = -4

for once i get first comment and it gets removed, rekt anyway, glad to see Titan and especially HR and diggy getting a chance to fight against NA teams, might be good for both

2015-10-16 14:58

EZ for VP. Snax, byali, and Taz are really hot atm.

"Titan, who impressed everyone by winning 9 out of 11 matches" titan was an inside job

2015-10-16 14:59

2015-10-16 22:05

ez for Oskarraisers

2015-10-16 15:01

ez for conquest thank me later

Oskar on LAN? I are finally think that.

2015-10-16 15:04

Titan, who impressed everyone by winning nine out of 11 matches. kappa123

I don't get it. Here on HLTV all the points that are shown in this post are different. I mean, there Hellraisers is actuall with 15 points and both G2, and flipsid3 are with 16 points. The NA division as well, LG has 24 points, Conquest 22 and liquid 29. I don't get it.

2015-10-16 15:15

hehe is legit* standings cevo.com/event/cs-globaloffensive/standi.. *HR above G2

2015-10-16 15:21

CEVO gives 2 points per victory, instead of 3.

The tiebreaker should have been matches won, not round differential. When I look at the overall standings Kinguin still wins the round differential with a +54 compared to HR's +41. I can see why maikelele is mad, because this makes no sense.

2015-10-16 15:33

Matches won between them (HR and G2) are 1 and 1 for each side, then you look for RD again between them and HR have better RD, easy.

2015-10-16 17:18

Yes except that total matches won are 5 for G2 and 4 for HR, plus G2 has a better overall round differential. So basically the team that won less matches against other teams gets to go on due to them tieing the team above them in the standings. That's why it's stupid. G2 wins in every category except the 1 head to head match.

2015-10-16 21:08

But it's is in the rules, after two teams are tied in points, they first look the head to head matches and then RD between them. I mean, it's more important the records between the teams tied, not the overall stuff.

2015-10-17 02:04

Wtf is Conquest doing there?

hellraisers and gamers2 both 14 points? when i go to the group standing page on hltv it says 15 for hellraisers (3win 6 draw) and 16 for gamers2 (4win 4 draw) hltv.org/?pageid=216&eventid=1890

2015-10-16 15:18

ok,that explains why thx for the fast reply!

lol why is dignitas there :S

Online quals

2015-10-16 15:24

dude this is the teams for the lan

2015-10-16 15:27

? Not sure if troll

2015-10-16 16:38

Cant tell if b8 or retard

2015-10-16 16:42

Because they ended 2nd in the European group: hltv.org/?pageid=216&eventid=1890 Why are you here?

2015-10-16 16:58

Luminosity easy take this

so its based on round diffrents when its totaly diffrent maps, thats pretty shitty way to determen it.

ye different maps + starting sides etc, if you get to start ct on a ct sided map and win like 16-5 or something you get so many free +rounds round difference is so bad to use for csgo

HAHAHA no g2 get rekt shit team

In no other "professional" league is a tie breaker determined by a head to head match up. Kinguin won more maps and had a better overall round differential, therefore they should be going on.

Inb4 Hellraisers and NaVi won't attend.

2015-10-16 15:45

Why?

2015-10-16 15:52
