Kinguin over Space Soldiers? I think thats questionable.

they can come from open qualifier easily.dont worry.

2017-03-19 22:19

kinguin is marginally better that space soldiers imo, but ss is better than pretty much any other team that could qualify.

Haha yeah

2017-03-19 22:05

still great lineup so far, will be good 2 see how IMT, heroic and gambit progress, how new TL and g2 look like on LAN and c9 still has the pieces to be a good team.

2017-03-19 22:35

Yeah, it's gonna be fun

2017-03-19 22:37

It will be good, it's not possible to have only tournaments with tier 1 teams all the time, this tournaments are usually very nice,just to see how this tier 2/3 teams will progress

2017-03-20 11:50

4-man coL > LG OK

Declined the invite... it's a 100k tourney 10k ea 1st place, north makes 25k salary a month...

2017-03-19 22:08

Also MSL said they werent going to participate in a smany toruneys

2017-03-19 23:51

North American invites are a joke

2017-03-19 22:07

2017-03-19 22:09

SS?

turkish so wont be let into the country

2017-03-19 23:06

I want to see MarKE on tournament

2017-03-19 22:11

Me too! It will probably end up Misfits or NRG going thru the NA Quals. So, hopefully he will be there.

2017-03-19 22:28

Renegades OR LG could get the spot, if they go through the open qualifier

RNG would be about the same level as Misfits or NRG, LG can be better but sometimes doesn't perform as well as they should.

2017-03-19 22:41

Just looking for LG...

2017-03-19 22:13

And people say IEM Shitney will be bad :D

2017-03-19 22:17

this isnt bad^^ lots of interesting teams to watch, even tho noone in top8 atm.

ez heroic

ez4mouz

NA they deserve like 1 or 2 spots no more.bots

2017-03-19 22:24

NO LG????

2017-03-19 22:30

lol lg is some shitty t4 team even worse than clg and complexity

2017-03-20 05:49

SS deserve invite more than kinguin and hr

2017-03-19 22:31

Turkish and america

2017-03-19 23:07

Ez mouz

2017-03-19 22:49

wonder why mouz even plays the qualifier so far the never played one for an 100k Dreamhack Event and recently never played in one assuming they probably got invited to numerous ones directly. Maybe they realize it would be a good experience to play and maybe win a smaller Event.

2017-03-19 22:53

we havent t1 teams like Astralis,VP,Faze,SK,North and still we have great t2 teams like NaVi,g2,Envuys,Optic,Immortals and Gambit. This year will be great. NaVi can return t1 team if finally win bo3 after group stage. Ps Gambit online suck, but i think this team looks rly good on LAN, and they can be t1 team.
