EPICENTER 2017 Americas Closed Qualifier

Immortals pull out of EPICENTER qualifier

21-9-2017 12:35

Immortals have been forced to withdraw from the North American closed qualifier for EPICENTER due to their roster issues, HLTV.org has learned.

The PGL Major Krakow runners-up had been due to face Liquid in Group A's Winners' match after defeating CLG 2-1 - with Vito "⁠kNgV-⁠" Giuseppe stepping in for the final two maps of the series after team coach Rafael "⁠zakk⁠" Fernandes had played the first.

However, with kNgV- no longer tied to Immortals, and Henrique "⁠HEN1⁠" Teles and Lucas "⁠LUCAS1⁠" Teles having requested to be moved to the bench, the Brazilian team have informed the EPICENTER organisers that they can no longer field the majority of the roster that was submitted for the qualifier - resulting in immediate disqualification.

Immortals have pulled out of the EPICENTER qualifier

Liquid have been awarded a walkover victory over Immortals and will thus advance to the playoffs, while the elimination match, between Luminosity and CLG, will determine the team who finish second in the group.

Immortals, who are currently ranked 8th in the world, are due to play their next official match on September 28, against CLG, in the fourth week of ESL Pro League fixtures.

nice one ! jufi

2017-09-21 15:14

Confirmed.

2017-09-21 16:22

12yr old is smarter...

2017-09-22 20:21

Smart move by fns. Cant beat them ingame, destroy them by tilting the dumbest player irl.

2017-09-21 13:42

what did FNS won? Immortals will disband ,but he didn't won anything.

2017-09-21 14:36

One big mouth tells he will kill you meanwhile u kill his entire team. Sounds like a win to me.

2017-09-21 16:56

If the tweet was directed at kng then it would be smart. But it wasn't, he was just dumb enough to react in the way he did.

2017-09-21 14:39

Rrip steel and boltz

cogu haunting thing

Boltz to SK ----------NTC--------- hen1 Make lucas1 NTC kngV Great fnx Again taco EZ ----------NTC---------

Get a grip. That lineup has zero disipline. Will be late for many matches.

They will always be late for BO3 and start 0-1 but end up beating 2-1, every, dam, time. xD

2017-09-21 17:19

who IGL ? fnx ? what about IMT and steel ?

2017-09-21 12:41

he technically didnt kick anyone

2017-09-21 12:44

he has "honor" tier 3 honor soon...

2017-09-21 17:20

doesnt matter, csgo isnt his primary source of income

2017-09-21 17:55

income you say? At this very moment the company is paying salaries that sum more than half a million dollars per year so 3 paid players plus kNg can have the time of their life drinking and partying on their homeland, a tropical country. They are probably in a place like this i.imgur.com/73gtgeb.png while Reddit screams in agony and IMT CEO is hiring some PR guru to deal with the leftover.

2017-09-21 18:08

so? its obviously not going to stay like this. a different org will buyout the twins and theyll form their own team.

Indeed he is :)

bait overload

2017-09-21 13:20

You're* :)

2017-09-21 15:04

inmortals are retardeds, you have a major spot and you pull of the guys of the major spot OFG

Wat?

2017-09-21 15:41

The players did that to the team not the org ... Kngv is potato, and heni and Lucas are just not agreeing with what is going on with the org as well. So they decided to go and bench themselves as they don't want to waste time on games that will mean nothing to the "team"

2017-09-21 16:54

What a shitshow. Feel bad for the org as there is not much they can do to fix what these braindamaged players are pulling off.

18 replies

They could have supported players by doing nothing. Org fucked themselves when kicked kngv

17 replies

Actually it was expected that kngv would got kicked way sooner... The org is being ripped by these no minded kids, expect HEN1 and LUCAS1 to be kicked too... No org will pick them up again, it's a RIP for them, as they are very unprofessional.

Will play small leagues and dominate. Easy few thousand dollars every week to party

2017-09-21 13:28

Party before match days to improve skill. Better hold proofs of that or someone will kill them.

2017-09-21 13:34

Not kicked, leave. Didn't you read? They requested to leave

2017-09-21 13:55

Requesting to leave before they get kicked!

2017-09-21 15:05

2017-09-21 15:11

Still better than any Portugal team to be fair.

2017-09-21 16:41

That is questionable, since there is little to no investment in our scene and Brazil is 92,5 times bigger than Portugal. Its good enough already to have Fox in top teams and a couple of players in international low tier teams, but we will get there, just w8 4 it, we have very good players here ;)

2017-09-23 00:30

They have the legends spot on major, the team who pick them will play the major, its not enough?

2017-09-22 02:57

No, its not, because the major spot wont give you the prize money by default and those 3 without a good IGL and Coach are just a couple of plebs in an org.

2017-09-23 00:33

If you're implying that IMT handled this situation wrongly you're stupid

2017-09-21 15:43

IMT fucked up. Should have thought about money. Not some pussies feelings. Now they have lost major team and probably also sponsors.

2017-09-21 15:47

Lol ok allow idiots to ruin your brand by showing up to events late, partying before a MAJOR FINAL, sending death threats to people and being completely unprofessional. I don't know how old you are, but this is the real world where your actions have consequences and that behavior is completely unacceptable from grown men. Noah and IMT did the 100% right thing

2017-09-21 15:50

+1 All these kids were saying Valve should have banned them perma before KNG got kicked, hypocrites

2017-09-21 16:21

That us stupid US culture. In my country FNS and his buddies had beaten up kngv and problem would have been solved.

2017-09-21 17:23

Ok I'm fairly certain your just baiting now

2017-09-21 17:30

0/8

2017-09-21 19:50

Welp immortals is screwed

I hope these 3 never make it to a good team again, fucking bullshit.

2017-09-21 13:05

I agree that they are a bunch of retards doing stupid stuff one after another, but they are also extremely skilled, so you can expect them to join another org real soon.

2017-09-21 16:30

I agree, that's why I just said "I hope" haha. Though it doesn't necessarily mean they will be a good unit if they are packed with skilled players. In IMT, I always imagined steel and especially boltz as the "glue guys" that held it all together.

2017-09-22 01:36

Yeah, Steel and Boltz are way smarter and have more integrity than the Trio, so I guess you are right...

2017-09-22 01:41

n1 :D

2017-09-21 12:54

sure many orgs will think twice to make a brazillian team. they are known for their discipline issue.

2017-09-21 13:08

No way, man. It´s all about money all the things in the world, unfortunately. They´ll easily find an org which will hire them (the twins, kng, fnx and more one). Due to the quality of them (despite of behaviour) and Spot Major (the more attractive part).

2017-09-21 13:48

A Brazilian team these guys sure. Otherwise, you have SK, LG, TS BR in NA and I never heard anything about discipline issues coming from these teams.

2017-09-21 14:02

The SK guys kinda stabbed the owner of LG in the back.

2017-09-21 14:23

I don't think he feels betrayed because he hired another BR team. LG in 2016 really weren't up to par as an org.

2017-09-21 15:17

So you can't move to a team that pay you better? Lul I agree with thoorin

2017-09-22 00:18

yea only if the orgs think deeply. they should go for more talented and more professional brazillian despite of some troublemaker.

2017-09-21 18:23

Why wouldn't they give another team their spot? I'm sure Renegades would have been happy to play.

2017-09-21 13:19

Kng Lucas1 Hen1 Fnx ? Next n°1

TACO - IGL/Support Fnx - Lurker Lucas1 - Entry KnG - Support/2nd Awper Hen1 - Awper

2017-09-21 13:30

Taco won't leave from SK, and he isn't igl/support, he is entry fragger/ alone in the bomb, and he makes him work very well and onr of the best in him funtion, that's why the side T from sk it's very good.

2017-09-21 16:03

Funny how brazillians told me that BR players are better than other players because when they get the chance to play in NA they are so dedicated that they will only try to be the best.

2017-09-21 13:22

These 3 guys are the exception, not the rule.

2017-09-21 14:01

+FNX one more "very disciplinated" player,

2017-09-21 14:21

Agree they should take lessons from Fallen. That guy might not be the best player in CSGO but he is certainly the best guy in csgo scene as a whole that I can think of.

2017-09-21 17:34

You're right. Very composed and professional. Really liked in the pro scene. Even Thorin has come to respect him, even though he has a turbulent relationship with brazilians to say the least...

2017-09-21 19:29

Why would anyone disrespect him? He has only done good things with games academy and his own teams.

2017-09-21 19:31

And because of that he is treated has a legend in Brazil. But these kids are top young and too dumb to understand this, that's why boltz and steel (more experienced) are staying in the org.

2017-09-21 19:39

They just came late again xD

2017-09-21 13:27

RIP Immortals ?

RIP

Poor Boltz & Steel

7 replies

Except boltz & steel caused this in the first place, so don't feel bad for them

2017-09-22 03:58

OHH they caused it. Now I see.... ?????

2017-09-22 12:02

They were the ones who went out and got wasted, thus Immortals didn't show up on time. That's why

2017-09-23 01:26

...no it was Hen1, lucas1 and kng that supposedly went out and got drunk.... not boltz and steel. Where the fuck did you get that from?

2017-09-23 01:31

Everywhere? Ok maybe I'm wrong about steel, could have been kng, but I'm 100% on boltz, he's been said like 1000 times. And I know the 1 brothers had nothing to do with it.

2017-09-23 01:34

hltv.org/news/21558/kngv-some-players-pr.. well you're 100% wrong. Here's even kng saying that boltz and steel didnt go anywhere, but that boltz&steel also didn't say that they supposedly knew that kng hen1 and lucas1 didn't go out. (which they should've said according to kng, cuz they apperantly knew, again according to kng) hltv.org/news/21558/kngv-some-players-pr..

2017-09-23 01:37

Wow I guess I heard fake news, pros and people were saying this. And after it happened boltz apologized for it in a tweet?? I'm really confused haha

2017-09-23 01:40

expected FeelsBad 4 steelega and boltz

finalists of MAJOR :D

2017-09-21 14:06

gj 1 iq CEO

All these organizers need to do is to make superstar players become their video-game slaves and rekt their talents with avoidable penalties.

2017-09-21 14:37

FNS's revenge

2017-09-21 14:48

RIP IMT NEXT MAJOR

2017-09-21 15:39

you guys are really sad lol

2017-09-21 15:42

Expected ! sad for boltz and steel :(

2017-09-21 16:00

Except boltz and steel caused this in the first place?

2017-09-22 03:59

actually no, it was hen1 and lucas1 caused this

2017-09-23 08:13

feel bad for boltz and steel, always been my fav brazilian players. hen1 and lucas both talented, funny to see how they destroy their own career.

2017-09-21 16:08

Pulling out before coming losers

every sport has this... raw talent thrown away by stupidity... they will look back in 10 years and think how juvenile they were.

2017-09-21 16:47

nah, they will look back 1 month and think: "What a shit org IMT was. This new org is miles better and the new CEO isn't a sentimental teen who shitposts in his twitter."

2017-09-21 17:25

think about the roster +fnx, they will find a org equal or better than imt very very soon.

2017-09-21 18:40

not all organizations are quick to pick up unruly players.

2017-09-21 22:45

JÁ VAI BOLTZ

sad, sad, sad professionalism! RIP! Good luck steel and boltz! We smart, we loyal, we friendly, we are from BRAZIL! Kreygasm

2017-09-21 17:33

That's why we don't have respect from other countries. When we start to be really god and achieve something then all the emotions and drama appear. So unprofessional and immature from them.

2017-09-21 18:02
