rizc sick caster

Kebab soldiers to major?

maybe major qualifier but no chance to get to the major...

2016-11-02 12:27

Good luck to everyone!

RIP LDLC :(

2016-11-02 12:26

ez Space :))

When will pgl stop with this group a only bs

yep, it's fucking retarded indeed...

2016-11-02 15:09

ez for ENCE? ohh wait :) nope xd

Pretty difficult group for ENCE. Hope their "stand-in" will have better LAN results than Juho. Knowing there is a greater than 0 chance of getting ENCE stickers fills me with joy. That 0.01% and a dream.

There's like 1% for ence to make it to even the main qualifier, so rip ence sticker dream and top10 by the end of year :(

2016-11-02 13:51

Seems too high chance tbh xD.

2016-11-02 16:12

I dont really like talent lineup..

2016-11-02 12:30

Hope Godsent fail to qualify

2016-11-02 12:32

actually a good chance they might fuck this up.

2016-11-02 14:49

i think space soldiers are the favorites in group A

2016-11-03 09:26

2016-11-02 12:35

Easy for Heroic and ATN

2016-11-02 12:36

Godsent and HR?

2016-11-02 12:37

What about that

2016-11-02 13:26

Should be the final.

2016-11-02 14:25

Lol i laughed

2016-11-02 14:45

ss has no chance for the next qual :) HR and godsent/attax will fill the 1th 2nd place

2016-11-03 00:48

Heroic v Epsilon - Heroic Space Soldiers v AA - AA HR v ENCE - HR Godsent v LDLC - Godsent Winner B - Heroic v HR - Heroic Winner A - Godsent v AA - Godsent

2016-11-02 12:38

Winner B - Heroic v HR - HR... look at Heroic, they are playing sht rn, HR were able to beat teams like fnatic or VP on Epicenter. Should be final GOD vs HR.

2016-11-02 14:23

Not sure bro, didn't do any research.

Imo Heroic isn't so bad, ofc they don't have glaive but actually they showed off pretty decent on SL-I and DH Bucharest

2016-11-03 08:50

How to make lopsided groups lol

2016-11-02 12:41

XANTARES STICKERS HYPE, GO SS

2016-11-02 12:42

gl fnatic 2013

2016-11-02 13:03

ez 4 ence.

2016-11-02 13:09

Why does natu keep getting invited?

2016-11-02 13:13

Because he is an OK analyst. Not tier 1 but this is also not a tier 1 event. I think the better question is why Vendetta is there. He never adds anything to the discussion and has no knowledge on the pro scene. At least natu used to be a great player at one point and thus has some insight.

2016-11-03 09:47

But he speaks with potato in his mouth

2016-11-03 12:39

Ez 4 xantares if they can play 5 vs 5 not 4 vs 5 like always hahahahhahahaha botux

2016-11-02 13:18

sEx6TenZ vs GODnax

2016-11-02 13:28

2016-11-02 14:39

where is ENVY?

2016-11-02 14:41

Its minor

2016-11-02 14:46

mm nice and even teams by the looks of it. It can be anyones game really. I hope Heroic with niko can impress but Attax, HR, Epsilon, Godsent and SS can all win if they have good form. LDLC and Ence the obvious outsiders. Hoping for some good CS in the coming days :)

2016-11-02 14:56

NO MAN 2 EZ FOR ENCE , PROFESSIONAL TEAM FROM FINLAND

2016-11-02 14:57

not so Ez after losing Allu.

2016-11-02 15:00

but they professional team man , they win ez pz

2016-11-02 15:02

SS lost to LDLC twice recently (1 on esea, one on semifinals of eswc) you never know...

Godsent lost to LDLC in esea too these teams in group A are really close

2016-11-02 17:20

I agree, even though I think SS has every chance to beat all of these teams in straight up aim duels I don't think they will make it out of the group. flusha and ex6tenz are too genius for them :(

2016-11-03 03:08

ez godsent

2016-11-02 15:20

Good luck HR

2016-11-02 15:35

2016-11-02 17:24

2016-11-02 17:48

Gl Ex6TenZ and LDLC.com !

2016-11-02 18:04

groups are not balanced at all wtf is this? It'd be 99% easier if SS was in Group B.

2016-11-02 18:05

no? perfectly balanced. all teams are good

2016-11-02 18:30

Ence is bad after allu left (juho left also) Heroic doesn't look promising after gla1ve left Hellraisers may be a suprise Epsilon is just meh. -------------------------------------------- LDLC is looking really strong after ESWC Space Soldiers wasn't looking good in ESWC Alternate Attax qualified for ELEAGUE Season 2(Strong) GODSENT is GODSENT, they have enough experience to beat every single team without problem.

2016-11-02 20:33

hr surprise epsilon meh lmao

2016-11-02 20:35

Epsilon is inconsistent, HR is also inconsistent. SS has played against Epsilon many times and mostly won but against HR I don't know. Also SS lost to all of these teams (in group A) in recent tournaments.
