CIS Minor teams decided

All CIS Minor Championship teams have been decided as the last-chance qualifier came to a close.

Four direct invites were handed out at the beginning to Arcade, PiTER, Rebels, and Team YP. Due to Vadim "⁠DavCost⁠" Vasilyev not being eligible to play in the Minor, as he played in the last major with FlipSid3, YP decided not to participate.

Eight teams were invited to the closed qualifier, while the other eight had to go through a couple of open qualifiers.


DavCost's YP will have to try their luck in the Last Chance CIS/EU qualifier

In the end, 420pm, Binary Dragons (ex-Revival), Gambit Gaming, and eXplosive made it out on top of the closed qualifier to earn a spot at the CIS Minor, taking place on January 22-24.

As there was one more spot up for grabs due to YP's withdrawal, losers of the closed qualifier's quarter-finals, Quest, PARTY, and Sibway (KULAK lost three players, thus weren't invited) played in a round-robin last-chance tournament. Quest were able to defeat both PARTY and Sibway, securing the last place at the regional Minor.

The full team list for the CIS Minor Championship is following:

Russia PiTER Russia Arcade
Null element Rebels Null element Gambit
Russia Binary Dragons  Ukraine eXplosive
Russia 420pm Russia Quest

The winner of the CIS Minor, which will take place on January 22-24, will earn a spot at the Major LAN qualifier for MLG Columbus 2016.

It doesn't have to be, he could change the script to write whatever. Unless his friend set up the bot for him and Malunooo123 doesn't know what he is doing. HLTV really needs CAPTCHA to stop these bots, Malunooo's isn't that bad, it's just really really pathetic, but the bots that spam random betting sites and betting advice facebook groups are really annoying.

so the new up an coming, and somewhat promising, team YP can't take part because one player played in the last major. Really works well, ofc we want a new 5 shit players, rather than a new good 4 players.

I didn't say I agreed with it. At least there are still avenues for teams like YP to reach the Major.

yes but they are at a severe disadvantage because of this retarded rule. If that is the actual reason for the rule, then it acts against it's intended purpose. We aren't going to get new blood/new orgs in the form of some of these teams, because they aren't good enough. But we have team YP (new org/new players) which are promising and could actually break through, being given a much harder time.

these rules are really unfair to teams who have picked up just one player from a major... DavCost isn't even an amazing player who would wreck everyone in the minor anyways
