2017-08-11 16:48

6 teams got invited to the main event and there is 1 spot for the EU qualifier and 1 for NA qualifier

2017-08-11 16:39

Jk, they suck <3

2017-08-11 16:52

Why does G2 need qualifer?

They weren't invited, and it was fair they get a chance to still make it to the event.

2017-08-11 16:31

cuz they are bad?

True they can't even win a WW

2017-08-11 18:18

why would ss get an invite over heroic penta mouz north fnatic?

Fnatic and north have groupstage for eleague the same time as the main event of esl ny so they weren't invited

2017-08-11 17:03

+mouz

+11

And navi

2017-08-11 17:33

navi got invited to the main event already since they won the last esl ny

2017-08-11 17:34

Let's go Misfits

#GOMISFITS

2017-08-11 17:23

It will be way tougher for them to qualify than for 100.000$ DHs where the best NA team is often CLG. In this one there is C9/Immortals as really good teams, and OpTic/CLG as good teams (RNG is also pretty close to Misfits levelwise). Too bad they couldn't get out of groups at either DH Valencia or Atlanta to see more of them.

2017-08-11 17:26

NiP :DDDDD theyshould be invited not going to qualifier... they advenced from Cologne group stage ez. delusional ESL nice. at least we see some more NiP matches :)

Delusionalism at its finest

2017-08-16 12:31

SK?

Already invited to the event, hltv.org/news/21209-liquid-invited-to-es..

2017-08-11 16:42

Imt ez!

lol where is VP

They got invited to ESL One New York, so they don't need to qualify...

2017-08-11 16:32

invited

It ll be even harder than the major quals lul

I know right? Really stacked qualifiers.

2017-08-11 18:54

mouz??

EZ 4 RENEGADES

RENE-WIN LETS GO #1 AU US AND EU

LETS GO G2

Such a joke gambit wins a major yet they need to qualify for a t2 event, but liquid who can't beat flipsid3 and qualify for the major gets invited, bullshit

2017-08-11 16:33

invites were sent before the major and major qual.Nobody knew gambit would win a fuckin major

2017-08-11 17:08

Stil they're in the middle of t1 and t2 and are better than half the teams invited for sure

2017-08-11 17:21

now that they have won the major they are between t1-t2,but back when the invites were sent they were not.anyway they are invited to other events.And lets not forget that they won a major with Zeus in the team,who knows how good will they be now without him?

2017-08-11 17:55

Just because gambit won the major, doesnt mean they need to be invited all the time, they still have to prove their value.

2017-08-11 20:49

That doesn't work that way. How to get invited to almost every event: - Step 1: Be NiP. - Step 2: Not be Gambit.

2017-08-16 20:48

wow that saks dig.... dual screen Eleauge and ESL NY

Haha

2017-08-11 17:04

So does FaZe, VP, NaVi, SK and Astralis. And ELEAGUE is 1 week before ESL new york (ELEAGUE 8 september, ESL NY 14 september ) EDIT: Only their Group stage is during ESL NY

2017-08-11 17:59

FaZe and Na'Vi are in Group A, VP is in Group C while SK and Astralis are in Group D. What's the problem? Only Group B is taking place during ESL NY.

2017-08-11 19:33

ez for big :)

2017-08-11 16:34

Nervous to see what C9 will do

I believe in them

Cloud9 will play with standins since 2 players are on VACation at the time of the qualifier. Shroud said so on his stream the other day.

2017-08-12 09:12

I kind of said that before the moment the owner was retarded enough to let the two wisest players to go on a VACation.

2017-08-16 06:46

C9 LUL

2017-08-12 17:20

Well at least my team is in the finals <3

2017-08-21 04:41

No invite for iBP team REEEEEE

They will get that open qualifier spot ez mark My words

I wanna see them qualify that would be cool.

2017-08-11 19:58

North, mouz and Fnatic have ELEAGUE group B during ESL NY, that's why they haven't been mentioned

ok ty for explanation

Are you drunk? Their group matches are going to be played on September 12

Are you stupid? The main event, ESL One New York 2017, runs from Sept 14-17

Oh I am sorry ! I thought you were talking about the Closed Quals of New York and thoght you said fnatic , North and mouz wont take part in that qual ! And Im sorry again cause I misunderstood the date of the group!

2017-08-11 17:12

It's alright, I'm sorry for calling you stupid as well

2017-08-12 07:49

And ELEAGUE Group B runs from Sept 15-16 lmao, not Sept 12

rip fnatic :(

2017-08-11 16:40

So many good EU teams that won't get past qualifier. It's actually insane. It's actually sad that we won't see two teams out of Optic/C9/Imt either.

Who is fifth in Gambit?

i guess it gonna be fitch from tengry

2017-08-11 16:53

I thought Cloud9 were not going to play in the qualifier because n0thing was on vacation, who will they get to stand in? :thinking:

2017-08-11 16:49

Braxton plz

That might just happen. It would be HYYPE.

2017-08-11 18:56

2017-08-11 19:02

I think we already know who its going to be from each region.

2017-08-11 16:51

gambit and f3 invited to online qualis xD

oh god G2 gonna make a fool of themself once again... oh wait, no top teams.. LETS GOOOOO !

Gambit?

2017-08-12 17:21

without their IGL, new roster ... + lets be honest, its not because they won a major they were considered a top team .. got understand the context of their win

2017-08-12 17:22

I guess so, but AdreN, HObbit, and Dosia, the insane star players, are still going to dominate

2017-08-12 17:23

its up for debate, let see in the future, remember that gambit was losing vs Tier 3 teams before major ... now they lost their igl ..

2017-08-12 17:24

We'll see. Hoping G2 can bring back that May/June 2017 form they had for this qualifier

2017-08-12 17:25

meh ... i think they are completly lost ...

G2 got this

Long story short: wont watch

Great way to brush some rust off after a vacation... having to qualify for one of the biggest events of this quarter. Hopefully that means Splyce, NRG, Renegades, ex-iBP, etc. all finish their roster announcements this week.

2017-08-11 20:08

Its incredible to me that this is just a qualifier to get to a tournament. The ESL New York Closed Qualifier is at the same caliber of a tier 1 event a year ago. Everyone is so good, who the fuck knows who is going to advance! I'm going out on a huge limb here and going to say CLG and NIP because who the hell knows what can happen these days. I'm hoping Cloud9 and NIP qualify though.
