Europe Minor Closed Qualifier - FACEIT Major 2018

OpTic and Kinguin qualify for Europe Minor

1-7-2018 00:48

OpTic and Kinguin have become the first two teams to book their places at the Europe Minor.

The Europe Minor Closed Qualifier featuring sixteen teams in a Swiss-style group has produced its first two qualified teams with OpTic and Kinguin winning three matches to book their place at the Europe Minor.

OpTic took on EURONICS in their first game which they secured 2-1. Then René "⁠cajunb⁠" Borg & co. beat Japaleno in two maps to go 2-0 in the group. In their last match, the Danes took on LeftOut who they beat 2-0. With this result, OpTic improved their record to 3-0 and qualified for the Europe Minor.

OpTic have earned the right to compete at the Europe Minor

Kinguin, on the other hand, started their qualification campaign with a 2-0 victory over Fragsters. The Polish team beat Nordavind 2-1 and then defeated Sprout with the same scoreline, securing qualification to the Minor with a 3-0 record.

The Closed Qualifier will hand out six more spots at the Europe Minor which will take place in London, UK on July 19-22 with two spots at the FACEIT Major up for grabs. You can find the current standings and upcoming matches in the Closed Qualifier on our event page.

Both had a pretty easy run, but Optic and Kinguin deserved it IMO. Should be a good minor at this rate

They aren't even really VP anymore, no Snax or Taz ;(

2018-07-01 00:55

Yeah.. Im happy snax moved to mouz tho, he's still young and if he gets motivated to play again we could see mouz being top3

2018-07-01 09:51

he was at that moment interesting that nobody remembers how shitty he was good to see him in form now tho

2018-07-01 00:56

Well he was a good Igl still and sacrificed his stats most of the time. He literally had like the same stats as other vp members in the Boston major. And yeah he's playing really well now and I'm very happy for him and the team.

2018-07-01 00:58

The problem with Taz wasn't that, he is less skillful then the rest of VP, there was problem with communication between him and the rest of team. Buy now GODTaz will show them. Only thing i miss is Taz-Neo colaboration. 13 years together ended that way

2018-07-01 04:02

Less skillful? Noone is worse than neo check rating. He was carrying on majors or under snax in scoreboard

2018-07-01 10:16

Please read my comment again. If you still do not understand, read one more time. In case if 3 times isn't enough, i am happy to answer your questions

2018-07-01 12:39

i'd like to have a conversation with you but its the same like dropping monkey a banana and looking on you

2018-07-03 00:02

I said that, he was (is) not less skillful than rest of VP, but he was a reason of most quarrels

2018-07-05 13:29

VP is in the Major already.

2018-07-01 01:10

*minor

2018-07-01 01:27

No, VP is already at the major, minor is the last qualifier before the major now, in the past there was a major qualifier after the minor but now it's called challengers stage (or smth like that) and that's a part of major so vp is already at the major

2018-07-01 01:37

We mean top16 of the major

2018-07-01 09:52

I meant top 16 sort of thing but didn’t word it very well :)

is it safe to say that Snax destroyed VP? taz's competitive spirit isnt dying yet, happy to see it.

It is safe and true man to say that. Maybe taz was worse than now back then but we can see he really enjoy this game
