Magiskb0Y to miss ECS finals

dignitas talent Emil "Magiskb0Y" Reif will sit out the ECS Season 2 finals due to personal matters, the player has revealed.

On Twitter, Emil "⁠Magisk⁠" Reif revealed that school exam commitments will prevent him from attending the event, which will run from December 9-11 in Anaheim, California.

dignitas qualified for the ECS Finals after finishing fourth in the European division due to having the best overall round difference of the six teams who finished level on points in the table.


Magiskb0Y will miss the ECS finals 

The Danish team, who recently lost to SK Gaming in the ELEAGUE quarter-finals, have yet to announce who will be filling in for Magisk at the event, where $750,000 will be on offer.

dignitas have the following quartet available for the ECS finals:

Denmark Mathias "⁠MSL⁠" Lauridsen
Denmark Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke
Norway Ruben "⁠RUBINO⁠" Villarroel
Denmark René "⁠cajunb⁠" Borg

depends what exam it is, if it's the final exam then he obviously can't rearrange it, if it's just a small test then he should rearrange it. don't know how to compare it to anything in the UK apart from GCSE and A-level exams which you can't just rearrange for a game of course

do you really think it's that simple if it's a final exam? you can't just resit the exam the next week, maybe in a year's time or a few months if you're lucky depending on what subject you're studying. however if it's not his final exams that he's sitting then he should just rearrange them because it would be stupid if they aren't final exams.

so you can just resit your final exams whenever you like? I wasn't able to do the same in the UK sitting mine, I never needed to personally but friends of mine who resat their exams needed to wait until November after they got their results back in August.

yeah, but how important are these exams? on the same importance as final exams? because from what magisk said this is part of his final paper, which from experience in the UK you need to wait at least 3 months to resit, probably longer depending on what course it is you're looking to resit.

All the reason not to skip the finals and be done with it after some time. After you have your degree you can still decide to play counter strike full time but now you have a fallback option with your degree. And some exams/papers cannot be rescheduled.

Like some people said 750000 is on offer here, and great chance they will take home a big chunk of that. If education is free in DK, he could very well shift it a year and hope it only clashes with some 100-250k event by then But i get it he has been putting in the work in school too and wants it finished

That's a shame :/ But maybe, just maybe this gives valde a chance. Who else to stand in for Magisk? RUBINO has just been that "emergency call" kinda thing so there is room for valde. I mean dude been going ham by the regular and is clearly a player dignitas needs.

The thing is that event is held in NA, so valde maybe won't go to USA. I think it's some player from NA or cadiaN cuz he sucks up to everyone on the scene

We didn't expect to qualify for @ecsleague Yeah, you had 4 matches at Nov 24-25 against G2 and mouz, you lost both to mouz - why did you try hard against G2 then? You didn't care about it anyway, so why? And now you're going to that event not even having a full team. GJ! I'd punish them for that shit.
