mousesports to ESL One Cologne

12-5-2017 16:19

mousesports are the latest team confirmed for ESL One Cologne, the event's organisers have announced.

mousesports, who made their offline debut at DreamHack Tours last weekend, taking third-fourth, have become the 11th team invited to the prestigious $250,000 competition.

Later this month, the European mixture will be in attendance at the ESL Pro League Season 5 finals, in Dallas, after finishing in third place in the European division, with a 16-10 record.

chrisJ & co. will compete in Cologne

The announcement means that there is now just one invite left to be determined. The final four spots will be filled through qualifiers held in three regions, two of which are already known: Europe and North America. Details about the third regional qualifier will be unveiled soon.

ESL One Cologne will take place in early July, with the playoffs running from 7-9 at LANXESS Arena. Below you can find the updated team list for the event:

SK	fnatic	Natus Vincere	Virtus.pro
FaZe	Ninjas in Pyjamas	G2	North
Cloud9	Immortals	MOUZ	Invite
EU qual.	EU qual.	NA qual.	TBA

🏆 The German based legends will return to Cologne! 🏆

then it is a viable option because if I had to pay for VRS ticket as well - not really worth to because it would have been like 13€ every day

2017-05-12 16:30

mousesports = EU flag

2017-05-12 16:40

Btw he refers to the clip's flag so its because cologne is in germany

2017-05-12 16:41

Ok I accept your reasoning.

thats not how it works.. either its the location of the event or its team flag which means EU flag in this case. Not the org. flag..

2017-05-12 17:32

6 nationalities = germany n1 admins

lol

Last team to get invited will be either liquid or optic, mark my words

2017-05-12 16:51

I'd guess optic, and prefer them too, but we shall see

2017-05-12 17:35

Eyyyyy

2017-05-13 20:31

pow

2017-05-13 20:39

It's probably Liquid, since they were finalists in the last edition of the event.

2017-05-12 19:42

Wouldnt it be astralis?

2017-05-13 01:07

They refused it.

2017-05-13 02:04

Nice

yes Ropz <3

Noicee

RIP GAMBIT

esl - german organization cologne - germany mouz - german team no chance to HR xd

2017-05-12 17:03

Wasted spot for onlines

What about Astralis

hltv.org/news/20123-astralis-to-skip-esl..

saving strats for the major

strats in 2k17, lul

2017-05-12 17:27

NO DALLAS NO COLOGNE R.I.P TOP 1

2017-05-12 19:24

saving since now cause won't even come to EPL finals

2017-05-12 19:27

Astralis said they want to focus on the major and they won't go to Cologne

Nip,C9 and Immortals in there, Im dying

last inv better be gambit

they declined initially but saw all these teams going so might attend anyway

2017-05-12 16:39

twitter.com/moucsgo/status/8630446184257.. twitter.com/ZeusCS_GO/status/86305645323.. doesnt sound like they declined anything?

2017-05-12 18:05

forgot its esl and they never make sense I mean their league playoffs are 6-6 split they'll invite liquid last lmao and gambit wont qualify cuz gambit online lul

the amount of shit theyd get for inviting liquid/optic over gambit would be absolutely insane. in fact, its already tragic enough that nip and c9 got invited over them. mouz i can kinda understand but even that on paper makes no sense.

nip makes sense- Wesa. but I mean they invited optic+C9 over gambit for IEM katowice

2017-05-12 18:49

the main problem is it isnt justifiable looking at their results. they are mostly going after who they think will attract the most viewers or fans at the event. thats why nip is there and thats why they probably wanna have 2-3 NA teams. but thats the thing maybe: theres another NA qualifier, so theyll likely get optic or liquid anyway, which opens up the last invite spot for gambit.

How do you forget to invite asstralis. Seriously. That last slot better go to them or there is something seriously wrong here.

They chose not to go to the event, they want to focus on the major hltv.org/news/20123-astralis-to-skip-esl..

2017-05-12 16:25

omg...

2017-05-12 16:53

Astralis dodging event

this tweet is wrong on many levels

GAMBIT NEXT

Cmon, invite LDLC...they were solid at EPL. I want so see them on Lan against top tier teams. Online wins are boring.

2017-05-12 16:37

this tournament is stacked af, hope they invite Gambit next

Asian qualifier then.

2017-05-12 16:43

Please Astralis change your mind and take the last invite spot! Then we got a solid tier 1 event!

They refused to participate because of the preparation for Major

2017-05-12 16:46

I know that. Thats why i say "Please change your mind"

Major is more important, let them prepare, they arent in the best shape now

2017-05-12 16:49

lol they know they fucked up, they thought more teams would've declined

2017-05-12 16:54

yeah, their management is very dumb l3l. they do not deserve #1 spot anymore, already dodged 2 events

2017-05-13 11:40

This is going to be an awesome event. GL mouz!

3 majors PogChamp

Everytime I think about mousesports and tournament in germany, I think about cyx. Someone should name a tournament after this guy, community deserve to know a legend. hltv.org/blog/11275-in-memory-of-cyx

2017-05-12 16:52

:D Good idea

2017-05-12 16:58

legends never die <3 cyx

Expected

2017-05-12 16:55

2017-05-12 16:57

This will be sick event, just missing astralis

2017-05-12 17:00

lower prize pool, much better event. PGL sucked at Kiev major, the same will be in Krakow.

how did they suck or what sucked about it? bcs i know for sure the crowd will be fucking unreal, the first waves of tickets they put on sale sold out in minutes.

2017-05-12 18:07

Nah, polish crowd is shit.

2017-05-13 02:09

still didn't invited gambit LUL

2017-05-12 17:11

shit event cuz no astralis

2017-05-12 17:16

2017-05-12 19:02

Onlinesports 4Head

2017-05-12 17:25

They regret even more now that they didnt got too 6 at esl pro league EU.

I like watching mouz play, they're exciting and a bit random. ropz and oskar are two of the most impactful players in the scene right now and as a team they have genuine upset potential against anyone. Glad to see them invited.

2017-05-12 17:37

2017-05-12 18:38

mousports invited. Scamm

2017-05-12 17:38

german based orga without germans lul atleast give them german citizenship and passports its not something hard anyway

denis

why the fuck do you think anyone would give up their nationality for fucking cs? I bet every player in mousesports is proud to be representing his home country..

2017-05-12 20:30

that was obviously a joke lol

2017-05-12 21:24

GAMBIT or boycott

2017-05-12 17:59

hypppe

2017-05-12 18:06

HR or gambit pls one of then invite, second pass through qual.

2017-05-12 18:17

gambit plz, since astralis won't go

2017-05-12 18:18

make a qualifer for middle east and north africa purhapse and asia ?

2017-05-12 18:19

waste of spots

2017-05-12 20:33

tier 3 asian team can destroy top uk team so nt

2017-05-12 20:46

Do you see me vouching for UK spots you dumbfuck? They'd be a waste of spots as well so learn how to fucking read.

2017-05-13 13:08

i don't think you have the right to rly say that a region doesent deserve the spot when your own country is pretty much a waste of tournaments made by esl
