boltz to play for SK at ESL Pro League S6 Finals

27-11-2017 17:49

SK Gaming will be allowed to field Immortals loanee Ricardo "boltz" Prass at the ESL Pro League Season 6 Finals, according to a report from Dust2.us.

The 20-year-old is already part of SK's roster in the ESL competition, which suggests that his transfer from Immortals happened somewhere between his last match for his former team in the league, on October 20, and the November 9 trade deadline.

This explains why SK are able to field their newest member while Liquid cannot attend the event with Lucas "⁠steel⁠" Lopes, who was not registered by the North American team before the transfer deadline, forcing them to field team coach Wilton "⁠zews⁠" Prado.

boltz will be SK's fifth player in Odense

Ricardo "⁠boltz⁠" Prass joined SK on October 20 on loan from Immortals. Since then, the Brazilian giants have won two events, EPICENTER and BLAST Pro Series Copenhagen, and placed third-fourth at IEM Oakland.

SK have been drawn in "Group Red" for the ESL Pro League Season 6 Finals, alongside OpTic, North, Ninjas in Pyjamas, Misfits and NRG. The event will take place from December 5-10 at the Sparekassen Fyn Arena, in Odense, Denmark, where 12 teams will square off for their share of a $750,000 prize pool.

Well according to the article, SK made the transfer before the deadline unlike Liquid and Astralis. So if ESL will follow their rules, Boltz is of course allowed, while Astralis' and Liquid' transfers/stand-ins aren't.

Technicalities, played the whole fuckin season for another team, which the rules specifically state isn't allowed. But sure.

Do you have the rulebook in hands to say such a thing?

Used to be different, just checked the updated rules. It's legal. Editing posts right now.

Cant edit anymore :(

2017-11-27 18:57

Cant edit post, nvm, its legal

That's not "technicalities", the name of these are RULES. If you don't know how to respect rules I'd rather never play anything with you.

2017-11-27 18:22

I'm sorry but that's gonna be easy for Liquid.

2017-11-27 19:39

2017-11-28 03:02

easy for sk

Dennis and Steel should be allowed to play for Astralis and Liquid then.

Not really. Boltz went to SK before the roster lock. Dennis and Steel did not, so it's a completely different scenario

2017-11-27 17:54

He went as a loan, the rule is just stupid and makes no sense.

Lol what? Boltz was with IMT for majority of EPL and was with IMT during the roster lock.

2017-11-27 18:02

Read the article again. It says that boltz was transferred to SK before the deadline

It says they suggest he was transferred, theres no evidence here. Just that Boltz joined as a loan on november 20.

2017-11-27 18:24

BOltz joined as a loan on OCTOBER 20. And as the article suggests, he was transferred to SK before November 9. Probably WESA have the contract to allow Boltz playing. It's not kinda that they have to make his contract public(as an evidence) so all HLTV lawyers and experts may not bullshit anymore.

2017-11-27 19:19

YOUR TURN NOW VALVE Lets the man play at the major also FREESTEELGA

SK have been drawn in "Group Red" for the ESL Pro League Season 6 Finals, alongside OpTic, North, NiP, Misfits and NRG. they could play without him and get out of this joke group lmao

It is not the same situation.

Yeah like he played the whole fucking season for IMT expect the last match so he can play for SK while Dennis and steel cant totally legit and fair

2017-11-27 18:26

I agree the rule is dumb as fuck.

2017-11-27 18:30

Even tho I agree with steel and dennis playing with their teams, boltz did not played the whole season. He did not played the last two matches. I know, sounds dumb as fuck, but ESL rules say that you cannot trade your team once you played the whole season. But this rule sucks, steel is even kind of comprehensible, but dennis is going as a stand-in for a sick device, man, wtf. Aren't they humans?

2017-11-27 19:37

"according to a report from Dust2.us." thats one way to advertise your own site i guess

It's their story.

If Astralis don't get Dennis now while one of their players is seriously sick (!) esl is a fucking joke

Welllp...

and now Dennis and Steel should be allowed to play for Astralis and Liquid...

Contrata o boltz logo sk please

How cool, is the last championship of SK in the year, more than deserved that they can play with boltz

Astralis can't play with dennis and Liquid with steel unfair and not deserved

2017-11-27 21:51

Seems legitimate but I dont really understand the rules They can't play a certain number of matches, but if they do, they have to be transferred by a certain date? I just feel bad for astralis and liquid too

Im not sure but i think its cuz Boltz only played 21 matches for immortals and steel played 25? huh.

2017-11-27 18:16

esl = german sk = german org meanwhile steel and dev1ce are not allowed propably lmao

Why wouldn't dev1ce be allowed to play?

2017-11-27 17:56

you mean *steel and dennis Device is sick

yes i mean dennis, not device

2017-11-27 18:41

only ESL?? ez boltz in future

deserved

Nice. Ez games for SK.

Fuck ESL

ez boltz

ez boltz ez for SK

isnt that normal?!

no boltz played for immortals at the beginning of the season

Almost the entire season except for like the last 2 matches or something.

2017-11-27 20:54

Some rules should be reviwed. Like boltz played the minors online and isnt able to play the major for Sk. And device is sick and rumors says that dennis wont be able to stand in. Valve, Eleague, Esl and Ecs should review some rules of roster's changes.

Boltz should be allowed to play the major for sk Steel and dennis should be allowed to play for liquid/ast @ epl

2017-11-27 18:33

The rules are just dumb...i want to see good cs...they are literally forcing astralis and liquid to play with their coaches and that sucks donkeys balls

2017-11-28 00:05

As a Brazillian, I am happy to hear that, but, ANYONE FROM ESL, PLEASE, allow the teams to play with their best, steel, dennis, everyone dude, we want to see good cs, and not some bs burocracy. It's not device's fault that he's sick, they shouldn't be punished for that. ESL PLS ? . Up my comment to reach ESL

2017-11-27 18:11

those laws are fucking brain dead if a team is a top team in their region, when they make a roster change OF COURSE THEY GONNA GET A PLAYER THAT ALSO PLAYS AT TOP LEVEL ._. THE CHANCE OF THE MOTHAFUCKAS GET A PLAYER THAT ALREADY WAS PLAYING IN THE SAME LEAGUE OR QUALIFIER OR WHATEVER DA FUCK IS 200000% just let everyone play with their roster ffs -.- this time SK got boltz, why da fuck steel cant play for liquid etc so much bullshit lol they need to make this work better.

2017-11-27 18:12

Once again ure a fuckin retard

2017-11-27 18:35

toxic people UP HERE.

2017-11-27 18:47

You're the only retard if you really think that Dennis and Steel should be allowed to play at EPL Finals.

2017-11-27 19:02

Dennis 100% should Steel sort of could

2017-11-27 19:03

You have given yourself a definition of who you are.

2017-11-27 19:04

No. You have. And guess how much I care about your opinion.

Lol they just let him play because SK wins most events and will bring in the most money for ESL

2017-11-27 18:50

Nah, if it was for this reason then they should let astralis field in Dennis since astralis brings the fans to Odense.

2017-11-27 19:43

R I G G E D

2017-11-27 18:53

Expected from ESL "Industry Leader" LUL so freaking rigged.

Very nice

let them play ffs! #freedennis #freesteel these rules sucks

2017-11-27 19:09

The Brazilian giants exerted great banana control for the rest of the half and utilized a variety of different paces to keep the Astralis defense in check, with the only two rounds that the Danes won coming off of individual plays from Markus "Kjaerbye" Kjærbye and Dennis "dennis" Edman.

2017-11-27 19:13

LET THEM ALL PLAY FFS

2017-11-27 19:15

Astralis and Liquid should just drop the finals. What‘s the probleme? Rules are rules. Everyone have known them before. They all should make their decisions beforehand and should register a stand-in in advance.

Device is sick, it's not a matter of "Decision beforehand".

2017-11-27 19:48

That logic itself gave me cancer...u cant know when are you going to get sick lol

who?

2017-11-27 19:54

We smart, we loyal, we friendly, we are from BRAZIL! Kreygasm

2017-11-27 20:17

But he's fat.

2017-11-27 20:23

>CS >Consistent rules Pick one. This kind of rules are useless as they don't prevent anything and they end up lowering the overall quality of teams in this situations. Liquid should be able to use steel, astralis should be able to get a standin (even more as they are down 1 player due to circumstances impossible to predict).

2017-11-27 20:43

NICE !

2017-11-27 20:45

Pants on head retarded rule. "boltz joined before a certain artbitrary date, therefore he gets to play" SK didn't play a single EPL match with him on the roster. Astralis and TL got fucked over hard.
