ESL One Belo Horizonte first matches revealed

6-6-2018 21:36

The first match-ups of the $200,000 tournament in Belo Horizonte have been announced by ESL.

The first four matches of the group stage, which will feature two groups of four teams, will see FaZe go up against Torqued and SK face Space Soldiers in Group A, while MOUZ and BIG will face Não Tem Como and Liquid, respectively, in Group B.

SK's first match will be against Space Soldiers

FaZe, who have announced they will be competing with Jorgen "⁠cromen⁠" Robertsen at ECS right before flying to Brazil, will be hoping to take home the prize to increase their victory count towards the IEM Grand Slam prize of $1 million to three. Meanwhile MOUZ will surely have a stand-in in Brazil, as they will be fielding Jordan "⁠n0thing⁠" Gilbert in lieu of Tomáš "⁠oskar⁠" Šťastný.

Meanwhile, the home crowd will have lots to cheer for, hoping locals SK make it out of Group A, while Lincoln "⁠fnx⁠" Lau's Não Tem Como fight in Group B.

The first round of matches will be:

Group A
FaZe	vs. Torqued
SK	vs. Space Soldiers
Group B
MOUZ	vs. Não Tem Como
BIG	vs. Liquid

Nice

Would be pretty cool to see NTC in the playoffs over Mouz. Be awesome for the home fans to see two Brazilian teams and an NA team with a Brazilian player and coach all in the playoffs. Guarantees a Brazilian in the finals

No they aren't sunny and ropz inconsistent af and without double awp on mirage mouz are nothing. As it is they have been bad n mirage lately.

2018-06-06 21:56

cJ will carry. n0thing is not that bad . ropz is good with AWP he will do fine . Sunny forgot how to play CS? Get him to Tempo Storm . STYKO the clutch criminal will clutch

2018-06-06 21:59

i'm already can see styko in fnx's pocket =D

2018-06-08 02:56

Who cares? NTC bans mirage anyways

2018-06-08 00:05

NICE TO MEET YOU NAO TEM COMO

torqued sk mouz big

Mouz with nothing winning NTC? I dont see this.

2018-06-06 21:39

2 guys from ntc are tier 4 players and 2 of them havent played in over a year competitively. if its bo1 its coin toss anyway, still favouring mouz

2018-06-06 21:42

Bit and chelo tier 4? Mml LUL

Have they proven themselves on top level? Also my tiers may not mean what initially comes to your mind.

2018-06-06 21:53

God bless you

2018-06-06 21:44

I believe SK and NTC 7th-8th

2018-06-06 21:47

i believe a british team in... oh no

Haha that's funny except I don't believe in them either Good thing I'm not supporting a British team, we only have one good player and he's on a German team so lmao nice try at an insult (More srsly, SK 3rd-4th, and NTC 5th-6th in my opinion)

lol, that was a joke not an insult but i think SK 3rd-4th and NTC 5th-6th can happen. I cheer for SK and i will be in the arena so i hope in a Brazilian Final

2018-06-06 21:54

Sorry, I should have seen xD And ooh, hope you enjoy it, regardless of who it Is!

Thanks :) ! i will be happy just to be there

2018-06-11 11:52

Why don't they just kick olof noob

Because they like him and recognise that he needs the time off - some people are saying olof's father has a serious illness, and so olof would want to be with him... Don't be so insensitive

It would be different if we could have an insight what's going on. >announce you're back >still miss 2 big tournaments If there's something wrong with his father then it's expected but we just don't know.

2018-06-06 21:49

What gives us the right to know? Why does it matter? The fact of the matter is that Olof isn't comfortable playing atm, and we as the fans owe it to him to trust that he needs this - maybe he thought he was ready and things were getting better, but something changed In short, we don't really have the right to know, and we need to have faith in him and hope things get better for him

Yes I agree with you

2018-06-06 21:55

Wise guy

2018-06-07 02:56

easy for big

2018-06-06 21:41

SpaceS can win Sk

Yeah

Tbh I wouldn't be that surprised if SpaceS actually won the tournement. If Torqued, SpaceS, NTC and even Liquid go through, that's still a playoff bracket that they can win. It just depends on whether they can show up online...

-1

I said can xd...

yep they could uspset like they did but it's still 30-70 would say

2018-06-11 11:55

gl ss gl ngin sk tokatlamaca

2018-06-06 21:43

Faze wins

Fuckin olof once again abandoning tourney.. EZ sk or lulquit LUL axaxaxaxaxa

If Torqued beats FaZe it'll be the greatest day of my life.

Swag isn’t even on the team? Just mega douche Steel and some random dudes.

2018-06-06 22:11

I liked all the Torqued guys, swag was just my favorite.

2018-06-06 23:01

How does one like Steel? He seems to be the biggest jerks in CS, and looks like one too.

2018-06-06 23:53

Lucas1 and Hen1 will play for Torqued !

2018-06-06 22:36

Again sk vs ss ??????

FaZe v Torqued... I mean Torqued might have had a chance if they still had swag

NTC in group of death, but they will do it

ez 4 NTC and SK

FINALS IN FAVELA

You'd love a favela party

2018-06-07 02:57

Can't wait to see smooya get humbled.

UNLUCKO MALUCKO EVERY TIME FIRST MATCH SK VS SS

yine mi sk lan

Should be pretty straightforward for liquid.

ez sk

Torqued vs FaZe...

lets go liquid

2018-06-06 22:01

Again ??!! SK vs SS ??????????????????????

Group B would bring higher chance to Ss if we could have a chance to replace Ss with Mouz or Liquid but even in Group A; they have the potential to become the 2nd after Faze since SK is too vulnerable right now.

2018-06-06 22:07

ez4sk vs space onliners

SK vs SS? AGAIN?!? FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

2018-06-06 22:09

Again easy opponents for faze...

2018-06-06 22:21

SS can defeat Faze

2018-06-06 22:25

Without Cbble they can't.

2018-06-06 22:27

EZ final NTC-SK FaZe is Overrated

2018-06-06 22:24

Top ez for nao ten como

SK vs NTC in final is my dream. But probably won't come true.

2018-06-06 22:34

tier 3 tourney

2018-06-06 23:13

Faze and SK will advance from Group A NTC and Mouz from Group B What’s your thoughts?

2018-06-06 23:20

I think FaZe and SpaceS advance Group A and Liquid and Mouz from Group B SpaceS going well now and i think they'll do something well this time And Liquid going well too

2018-06-07 00:26

the best for SK spectators would be: vs NTC in the semifinals and then vs faze in the grand final. but I just hope SK reaches the semifinals at least

2018-06-06 23:21

SK and SS - Group A NTC and Mous group B (FaZe have Crommen who is just garbage and have been underperforming, either SK or FaZe will choke and i think FaZe will)

NiKo will choke.

2018-06-06 23:55

Cromen has the highest KD at their biggest tournament (Esl Pro League S7) the guy isn’t garbage just because you haven’t heard of him

2018-06-07 03:08

no i have heard of him and saw him get absolutey Fucked against Space Soldiers 3 days ago

2018-06-07 04:31

NTC vs BIG on final kNgV- screaming again and ez 2-0

2018-06-06 23:29

I really expect NTC on final, but i think this will be against FaZe, even with cromem standing

2018-06-06 23:34

Final BIG vs NTC BIG to revenge for PGL Krakow

2018-06-10 15:57

to be fair with current results of attending teams it should be: 8-7th Ntc, Torqued 5-6th Big, SS 3-4th Mouz, SK 2nd Faze 1st Liquid I still believe that SK can show a good Form and make it to finals it also depends on how will liquid and Faze play
