Imperial ease past GODSENT to qualify for DreamHack Open Summer

Imperial have sealed their place at DreamHack Open Summer after defeating GODSENT 2-0 (16-9 on Mirage, 16-3 on Train) in the grand final of the European closed qualifier.

Imperial and GODSENT made it into the final round of the qualifier after beating AGO and Valiance, respectively, in the semi-final stage, both by 2-0 scorelines.

Both finalists had made it to the last stage on the back of great individual performances from young talents. In Imperial's case, it had been Mathieu "⁠ZywOo⁠" Herbaut, who temporarily replaced Asger "⁠AcilioN⁠" Larsen on the roster, leading the charge, while for GODSENT it had been Ludvig "⁠Brollan⁠" Brolin doing the heavy work. 

Cph Games 2018 champions Imperial through to DH Summer

The final kicked off on Mirage, Imperial's map pick, with the Swedish side opening things up with a successful CT pistol. Nemanja "⁠nexa⁠" Isaković and co. responded immediately in a force-buy, however, and strung four rounds together to take control of proceedings.

GODSENT responded with their own four-round streak, but Imperial showed great composure and lost just a single round before switching sides. In the second half, the Swedes still rallied back after losing the pistol round, but Imperial quickly retook control of proceedings and locked down the map, 16-9 scoreline. 

The Copenhagen Games champions carried that momentum into the next map, Train. This was GODSENT's map pick, yet Imperial kept shutting the Swedes down with a very tight defence, losing just a single round in the first half.

Now on the CT side, GODSENT took the pistol round to keep their hopes alive, but it was all in vain as Imperial would quickly wrap up the series with a crushing 16-3 scoreline.

Imperial are the first confirmed team for DreamHack Open Summer 2018, which is scheduled for June 16-18 in Jönköping, Sweden, where eight teams will battle it out for a share of the $100,000 prize-pool. Later on Sunday, the North American closed qualifier will determine the next team for the Swedish event.

No bad matches mean none whatsoever and I only picked matches that were below .65 rating. I saw plenty that were still bad. Besides he's carrying in T3 with n notable international events in a long time and absolutely no notable LANs. Put him in a few high profile events with him showing good then let's talk about him being that good.

If I happen to be retarded then I wouldn't have a grasp on English like this and be able to properly use it. "ZywOo has no bad matches" Yes he does He has no top tier experience and any decent team he plays he loses against so he isn't the god tier player everyone says he is I applied logic to the situation and thus, provided evidence to back my logic. Next time please don't argue with no evidence or facts to back it and start insulting due to you losing the argument. Proper grammar and spelling also helps so you can seem believable in the argument. Have a nice day! /closed

Imperial is actually the organization, they started out as MANS NOT HOT. And yea I think AcilioN was one of the founders of the team but I'm not a 100% sure.

To my knowledge it was initially AcilioN, tenzki and nexa who started the team. EspiranTo then joined with kalinka and they formed MANS NOT HOT. Short after, kalinka was replaced by nukkye cause the team roles didn't fit perfectly. nukkye took over primary awping from EspiranTo who is now secondary AWPer and everyone's happy :D They eventually got signed by The Imperial who is a British organisation. I believe ZywOo was just standing in for AcilioN today who must've had personal things today. Plus AcilioN is IGL.

yes I agree, but without Zywoo it is going to be much tougher for them, but I wish them well. Too bad someone like Zywoo won't stay on this team for good, they could be a top 25 team if so

I'm not saying North is a good team at all, but for Imperial to beat those teams on LAN is a great accomplishment for such a new team.
