dignitas, SK qualify for DH Leipzig

10-1-2016 22:28

dignitas and SK have qualified for DreamHack Open Leipzig after defeating HellRaisers and FlipSid3 in the Closed Qualifier, respectively.

The DreamHack Open Leipzig qualifiers, intended to give the two final spots to the eight-team, $100,000 event, hit their closed stage yesterday after 505 teams had taken part in an open qualifier.

With known teams such as ENCE, Vexed, and E-frag.net falling in the round-of-eight, the two best-of-three semifinals which would decide the two winners featured a match-up between dignitas and HellRaisers and SK and FlipSid3.

Kjaerbye and dignitas to attend Leipzig

The first match to finish was the former one as Tomáš "⁠oskar⁠" Šťastný and his HellRaisers team could not capitalise from yesterday's successful qualification bid for the PGL EU Minor and ended up dropping to dignitas.

The Danish-Norwegian team took de_cbble with a score of 16-10 after an impeccable CT defense on the map and then narrowly edged out HellRaisers on de_overpass with a 16-14 scoreline.

The second match of the Closed Qualifier started in a more mundane fashion with Jacob "⁠Pimp⁠" Winneche & co. of SK annihilating FlipSid3 on de_overpass (FlipSid3's map pick) with a 16-3 score.

SK's pick of de_mirage was a much tenser affair as the game went into overtime and the Ukrainian FlipSid3 outfit took the map 21-18 off of the back of Georgi "⁠WorldEdit⁠" Yaskin's AWPing.

de_train was yet another overtime brawl by the map's end, but it was SK's revenge this time around as the Danish team won the map 21-16.

Nice to see so many danish teams at one lan

2016-01-10 22:35

Lots of opportunities to choke, lots of opportunities for them to dipsel the Danish choke curse.

2016-01-10 23:26

2 danish in semi final imagine how many OT there would be.

2016-01-11 08:22

They would die of exhaustion

2016-01-11 08:55

Denmark/Scandinavia > CIS

2016-01-10 22:53

Scandi - CIS 2:0

2016-01-10 22:55

2016-01-10 23:06

F3 and HR should merge into one quality team, neither are going anywhere with their current lineups.

Not a bad idea Blad3 oskar bondik styko Worledit Perhaps. Thoughts on what you'd do with a merge?

2016-01-11 04:58

Ange1 has to be in it

2016-01-11 08:56

Worldedit? seriously? NOO! seriously?!

2016-01-11 11:38

Haha, who would you put in his place?

2016-01-11 17:30

anyone between ANGE1, markeloff or even Zero. you do realize WorldEdit can only awp? and the fact that oskar (maybe styko also) is better than him makes he useless for this team.

2016-01-11 17:36

Not Really, HR x Dignitas were very close game, just this lineup with zero is together 11 days so they made some mistakes, otherwise they had big chance to win. Just meda some bad decisions in 5v3 5v2 and so on

2016-01-11 06:21

HR played only 2 praccs with Zero. It`s not enough.

2016-01-11 06:57

HR needs queztone and then becoem full retarded team xD ANGE1 should go to gambit instead of hooch

2016-01-11 07:15

Please put konfig and magisk in the same team, would pay to see that

2016-01-10 23:08

Perfect day! Go Denmark!!!

Sk looking really good tho

2016-01-10 23:13

it seems oskar will never go to LAN with this team :(

They already had slots in 2 lans.

2016-01-10 23:15

hellraisers doing really bad lately

2016-01-10 23:24

Lost all their good players to better prospects. If the new Gambit team doesn't work out I could see a CIS shuffle happening, NaVi are the only team from the region getting good results right now.
