ESL One Cologne 2018 Europe Closed Qualifier

Gambit qualify for ESL One Cologne as HellRaisers forfeit match

26-5-2018 17:43

The second team coming through the European closed qualifier for ESL One Cologne is Gambit, who have booked a spot at German event after HellRaisers forfeited the consolidation final.

HellRaisers shockingly pulled out of the tournament before their final match as Kyrylo "⁠ANGE1⁠" Karasiow could not take part in the encounter due to personal reasons. The Bets.net Masters Season 1 champions did not wish to field coach Ivan "⁠Johnta⁠" Shevtsov as a stand-in and suggested using a player from pro100 as a stand-in, but none of the Ukrainian team's players were eligible to compete.

Gambit, who had beaten Space Soldiers 2-1 in the Lower Bracket final, will join North at ESL One Cologne after the Danish team had topped the qualifier's upper bracket.

mir helped Gambit to beat Heroic and Space Soldiers

ESL One Cologne 2018 will run from July 3-8, with 16 teams battling it out for their share of a $300,000 prize pool. The team list for the event currently looks as follows:

Astralis	BIG
Cloud9	FaZe
fnatic	G2
Liquid	MOUZ
Natus Vincere	Ninjas in Pyjamas
SK	BOOT-d[S]
Renegades	North
Gambit	GG.BET Majestic winner

2018-05-26 17:56

Not ESL's fault, ANGE1 had personal reasons Edit : Just seen a comment saying that ESL declined the stand-ins.

Ange1 told his teammates about this appointment in 26.. and the qualifier was set to be in 23-24-25 but before 2 weeks they edit the time to be in 26... So ange1 is not the only responsible of this ... :)

EXPECTED

2018-05-26 17:47

Lmao description

The real reason was, ange1 was fasting and in Germany is a lot of beer.

He went to brother’s wedding

That not a fucking good explanation for leaving the qualifier. he let his teammates. its not about only him he needs to get some punishment

2018-05-26 17:49

Yeah, the other option would be letting his BROTHER in the lurch. FFS, foi have no brain. They all knew that ange1 would not be able to play if they reached the final.

ange1 knew the wedding is today.let me ask you if u had a brother will you help your brother for wedding n stuff or go to the wedding when it starts ? help your fucking brother of course. so they coulda dodge the qualifier instead of playing and forfeit.

As mentioned by the article, HR thought that they would be able to field in some other player from pro100. ESL denied it as, for some reason, pro100 players were ineligible. Meaning that HR sole option was to forfeit, or to field in their coach.

2018-05-26 18:51

ur actually thick lol

and? you’re acting like you know everything and that you’re right, how is it wrong to want to go to a wedding especially if it was his brothers/best friends? the team knew and tried to field a standin but couldnt, esl denied, they were forced to either forfeit or play with jontha (coach) which they didnt want to do. but expected answer from turkey, y’all stupid most of the times

2018-05-26 21:31

going wedding is not wrong where did i say it? the part u saying about team knew and tried to play with a standin. i didnt know that part if its true the things i said is wrong though.

read #37 ‘That not a fucking good explanation for leaving the qualifier. he let his teammates. its not about only him he needs to get some punishment’ you think he needs a punishment for going to a wedding? lul

2018-05-26 21:44

Only if he left the team without any explanation. if team know about it and tried to get a stand in its my bad.

2018-05-26 21:52

The qualifier was originally planned to be held on the 24th and 25th, it got rescheduled after ange1 had everything planned.

2018-05-27 17:58

best friends, not brothers

2018-05-27 10:28

why

Wtf

Now we can understand why Angel will never be in Navi

he has a fucked contract with HR that he can't leave

Lul. That fits Navi perfectly fine

2018-05-26 18:28

unproffesional... poor w0xic

I hope Gambit will give ther invite in GG Majectic to HR

poor ANGE1

Easily

2018-05-26 17:48

2018-05-26 18:17

yeah, very hard, I think he made the right decision tho

wtf is a fois

2018-05-26 20:08

They probably actually thought the could qualify directly, without having to play the consolidation final. But North punched about their heights in the upper bracket final

2018-05-26 23:35

Once? You can do it as many times as you want, anyway its just show off

2018-05-27 06:19

Ok but you don't get married everyday.

And then surprizingly in a few weeks :"Ange1 replaces Dosia in Gambit" :)

Nice story

HR to replace Gambit/ Heroic to replace North in GG.Bet Majestic you can already post this news hltv =D

2018-05-26 17:54

how do you know?

2018-05-26 19:21

german cs knows all the answers my friend

2018-05-26 19:58

did teams shoose themselves who will replace them? Gambit choosing HR (team with Ange1 and 1 more CIS player and CIS org) and North choosing Heroic (2 danes and danish-players owned org) to replace them is kinda option they could make.

2018-05-26 21:50

Its gonna be North and VP. Next teams from qualifier. It should be HR but after forteit they wont get invite.

2018-05-26 23:12

but North already got the spot in Cologne, why would they play one more tournament to get it once more?)

2018-05-27 11:43

My mistake. I meant Heroic and Vp :P

2018-05-27 13:37

ahhh np ty

2018-05-27 15:10

That was my question, thanks!

2018-05-26 23:52

w0xic: "FUCK THIS SHIT" damn ange1 really triggered his teammates with it twitter.com/w0xic/status/100039251119668..

2018-05-26 18:04

pretty unprofessional too. smells like disband.

2018-05-26 18:20

He is mad because they could not field in any other player. They were aware about ange1 situation and that he would not be able to play the final.

aight I got it

no chance against mir anyway

2018-05-26 18:11

IF THEY KNEW THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN WHY NOT TRAIN WITH THE COACH A LITTLE TOO??

Angel to replace dosia

2018-05-26 18:33

EPL and now this, they don't deserve this

2018-05-27 11:34

Well I read that ange1 had said he had this appointment at the 26th, so it is not his fault the organiser decided to include the 26th as well. That is the fault of the tournament.
