Kinguin qualify for ESL Pro League S5

6-1-2017 01:21

Team Kinguin have secured a spot in ESL Pro League Season 5 after moving past LDLC in the ESEA Season 23 Premier Finals.

The top two teams of ESEA's European Premier division faced off in Burbank on Thursday to determine which of them would get direct entry into the next iteration of the ESL Pro League in addition to a higher seed in the ESEA Global Premier Challenge.

Heading into the match, many believed that this would be a close affair as both teams boasted a 13-3 record during the regular season, but Kinguin set the series off with a bang as they cruised to a 16-2 win on Cobblestone, with Mikołaj "⁠mouz⁠" Karolewski and Michał "⁠MICHU⁠" Müller both getting 1.99 ratings.

Kinguin secure ESL Pro League spot

LDLC gave a much better account of themselves on Overpass and closed out the first half with a narrow 8-7 lead, but Kinguin were simply dominant on the Terrorist side and conceded just one round before taking the map, 16-9.

I'd still like to see him in a more consistent team. Until then I'll reserve thoughts on coaching positions.

Godsent lost to LDLC and after that won ex-dig, G2, HR. Bad against t3 team and good against t1-t2, right? :D

2017-01-06 01:39

2-3 games makes sense. yes they are bad.

2017-01-06 02:17

Leading a team that is arguably below your skill set (6 is not a fragger, but a leader) is like working without a full tool kit. Contrasting to SK Fallen has players like cold and fnx to do things for him that 6s players might not be able to with the same consistency.

lol fallen is like top5 player atm in the world wtf u talking about. lets say that zeus was bad because he was igl blablabla, last months in navi he wasnt leading and was still bad so that doesnt make a sense. if player is bad he will be bad, no matter he is igl or not

Zeus wasn't igl in navi, Starixx was. Zeus hasn't been igl for Na'Vi since star stepped off the in game roster. Your second statement about an igl/player being bad regardless of team is plain wrong, look at the changes made in the optic roster over the last two years and progression of their callers. Optic has made it to be a genuine tier 1 team by making key changes around firepower while keeping the key components for calling. Players can create synergy between each other, and that's why I disagree with you.

2017-01-06 03:38

he doesn't even deserve to be on a consistent team - washed up baddie

2017-01-06 04:14

Washed up maybe, baddie ehh. Hard to conclude his actual standing without a proper team ;) look at god sent & pronax.

A top tier 2 team is a team like FaZe Clan, not fucking LDLC LDLC is mid-tier 3 at best

top 10 team in the world is tier 2 ? try using your brain once in your life lol

You think FaZe is tier 1? On what basis? Because they got two top 4 finishes? Everyone's been winning tournaments except for FaZe. Why don't you use your brain for once, retard? LDLC tier 2 hahahaha

2017-01-06 06:57

faze have been top 10 in the world for the past year, a bit more actually. I think about it in a pretty simple way: tier 1 = top 10, tier 2 = top 10-20

2017-01-06 06:59

For the past year? Where were you in 2016, FaZe were below the top 10 for the majority of the year. And how tf is top 10 equal to tier 1?

2017-01-06 07:15

hey maybe it's ok for you to understand, wow, i dont know shit about cs, ive only played for a few months. I've played since 1.6. I've won money in this game in every rendition of it. That's why I know there's no point arguing with shitties like you over the years :) Hope I taught you something.

2017-01-07 00:07

lmao so butthurt, you have to bring up your playing history hahahahaha if you think that I'll respect you just because you won money playing CS, you're deluded as fuck

2017-01-07 09:02

Both recently added guys sucked. Why did they kick minise and innocent?

2017-01-06 13:20

You know shit man. They were sucking dicks since 2013. The only good period of their team was DHW'14 and that's it. They were kicking minise. Then adding him. Like 3 times. Then oskarish and Loord. It's the best possible polish team (without vp players). Rallen and Furlan (that just had bad match) are way better than minise and innocent.

2017-01-06 14:20

You know you can't have all 5 players with massive ratings right? Just happened to be the new guys now but they're still beast and get thw job done when they need to
