CIS Minor Open Qualifier 1 - IEM Katowice 2019

Atlants & UnderPressure to CIS Minor closed qualifier

26-10-2018 01:40

Atlants and UnderPressure have secured berths at the CIS Minor closed qualifier after topping the first open qualifier.

The first open qualifier took place over the last two days, with nearly 200 teams in attendance of the single-elimination, best-of-one bracket.

In the last two rounds of the qualifier, UnderPressure, a team combined around veterans Sergey "⁠starix⁠" Ischuk, Denis "⁠seized⁠" Kostin, and Dmitry "⁠hooch⁠" Bogdanov, defeated LAN DODGERS in overtime and clinched their spot in the next stage with a best-of-three victory over DreamEaters.

hooch's mix-team UnderPressure made it through the first open qualifier

Atlants originally lost to PUGSTAR5 in the quarter-finals, but they received a default win after the organizers disqualified the latter team due to Egor "⁠fearfox⁠" Levichev being under 16 years old. Afterward, the team around Vadim "⁠Polt⁠" Tsyrov beat Unique in the semis with ease.

The CIS Minor closed qualifier now features the following teams:

Atlants
Unknown flag cis Open qual. #2
Unknown flag cis Open qual. #3
Unknown flag cis Open qual. #4

UnderPressure
Unknown flag cis Open qual. #2
Unknown flag cis Open qual. #3
Unknown flag cis Open qual. #4

The second open qualifier will kick off on November 2. Teams can sign up for the tournament here.

Whats that gotta do with the fact that both hooch and starix are not good enough?? Stupid kids always trying to say: .... achieved more than you ever will. Might be true but most of us are not trying to become pro we are cs fans. We have the right to discuss and criticize. Even if we were cs pro aspirants, your comment is just out of place. Work on your cerebral skills bruh

Would be lovely with exposure for the different streams in these articles, so we could get more viewership, teams could get more exposure, and viewers could find the streams with ease! I'll be more than happy to assist in a stream-list of all official qualifier streams.

Geez CIS Qualifier looks so weak compared to the European one. Can't Volvo/ESL just merge these 2 regions? They play with each other on a daily basis anyway.
