Let's go Immortals! We can do it! We smart, we loyal, we friendly, we are from BRAZIL! Kreygasm

Nice, happy that immortals get a chance do qualify for the tournament, although I think Cloud9 is the clear favorite on an online qualifier. EDIT: Typo

2016-08-31 18:52

Key word, "online" qualifier..

2016-09-01 01:19

They didn't get invited???

2016-08-31 18:57

"ESL have now invited sixteen teams to the closed qualifiers"

no man, godsent is in qualifiers

2016-08-31 19:04

Jason Lake and his org have been involved in this community for so long so its probably really easy to pull strings or to get invited because of the org

2016-08-31 19:18

Yea that's what I thought. Still it's a shame seeing such a "legendary" org like coL with horrible lineups, losing to t4 teams

2016-08-31 19:23

Go GODSENT and OpTic

2016-08-31 18:58

nice

2016-08-31 18:59

Why no NIP tho??

2016-08-31 19:02

Xantares has to be there

2016-08-31 19:07

for people wondering why no NiP they were invited to the qualifier but they declined

2016-08-31 19:13

Nip wasn't invited?? liquid invited but nip asked to qualify :O

2016-09-06 09:46

Liquid Major finalists NiP group stage exiters

2016-09-06 10:03

No s1mple now. Infact I am pretty sure that even C9 is now much better than the pimp-liquid. And dude, don't doubt on the abilities of the ninjas from one or two tournament's outcome. That's just funny xD Friberg will 16-0 1v5 knife all of them starting on 1 hp. They wont even see the banana coming.

Flipsid3 is so shitty why not Heroic

2016-08-31 19:16

2016-08-31 19:35

These tier1 qualies are stupid. First EPICENTER and now ESL. I want to see top quality CS on LAN, not tier1s throwing online qualies due to too many tournaments & leagues going on. Top 15 so even that either invite less (like top4) and give more spots in qualies or just invite the fucking teams based on their schedule (not everyone is gonna participate on every event nevertheless).

2016-08-31 19:39

North American qualifier: NRG sporting European flag.

2016-08-31 19:46

the case of NRG is really intriguing. I mean, at least Immortals is in the same continent and there is no such thing as BR qualifier so... bu NRG is EU and there is an EU qualifier

2016-08-31 19:53

NRG's org is based in the United States, all of the players are currently living in the US, and they were previously a NA team before bringing on an extra EU player. This is what most teams will use to qualify what country they're from, so they get into a North American qualifier, but HLTV and Valve both consider them an EU team. Which means they'll have to go through the EU qualifier to get into a major, but for other tournaments they're deemed NA.

inb4 dignitas beats astralis

2016-08-31 20:41

Godsent - Faze - 50/50 Gambit - Mouse - Mouse EnVy - F3 - EnVy Dig - Astralis - Astralis C9 - CLG - C9 Echo Fox - TSM - 50/50 Optic - NRG - Optic Complexity - Immortals - Immortals Ez

2016-08-31 20:45

Agreed, except I think F3 will win against Envy, TSM will easily win against EF, and NRG-Optic is 50/50 Envy hasn't been on form, TSM is looking good with Relyks, and Optic haven't been playing too hot recently.

2016-08-31 21:14

godsent vs astralis in the eu finale gonna be interesting

-godsent +fnatic

2016-08-31 22:52

CLG wasting a spot as usual.

2016-08-31 23:11
