Best photos from ESL One Cologne

10-7-2017 18:49

With ESL One Cologne now in the rearview mirror, we have prepared a collection of some of our best photos from the prestigious tournament.

ESL One Cologne came to an end on Sunday, with SK claiming the grand prize of $100,000 after defeating Cloud9 in a straightforward final that had just three maps.

Throughout the six-day event, there were plenty of upsets, both in the Swiss stage and in the knockout rounds, and nail-biting rounds, making emotions run high. Our photographer Radosław "MAKKU" Makuch was on site to capture those emotions, and you can find below some of the best photos that he took during the event:

All photos from ESL One Cologne can be found by heading over to the event's gallery section.

I have no idea if you guys are taking "critique" - but it would be LOVELY if you could take pictures of the players (mainly the star players) monitors while playing.. To see the little things they change and tweak (stretched, black bars, hud color, aspect ratio and crosshair.. those kinda things) on players like s1mple, dev1ce, coldzera etc etc etc.. :) Could be just me, but I think that it could be really really populaR..

I understand the request but it would be difficult to get. Having access to be behind players is something not only teams/players don't want but pretty much every single event doesn't allow or have. Some people don't even realise how sometimes is difficult to even have a normal access to have this kind of shots.

Why doesnt HLTV bring news about how SK used a tech. pause during the 2nd match of the grand final to discuss tactical stuff and how SK's prizemoney has been lowered due to that rulebreaking.
