Europe Minor Open Qualifier 3 - IEM Katowice 2019

Valiance and x-kom through to Europe Minor closed qualifier

11-11-2018 23:04

Valiance and x-kom have locked their spots in the Europe Minor closed qualifier after topping the third open qualifier.

Surviving the first five rounds of play in the third open qualifier, some of the most notable teams who took part in the qualifier made it to day two, such as Red Reserve, AGO, Vitality, and the new lineup of Valiance.

In the quarter-finals, the aforementioned Poles went on to lose to expert, while Vitality could not make it past Rokas "⁠EspiranTo⁠" Milasauskas & co., which pitted Valiance up against the German side in the spot decider.

Goofy & co. are through to the closed qualifier

There, the European mixture came out on top 2-0 to secure the first spot in the closed qualifier. On the other side, Red Reserve went up against x-kom for the second spot and, after a tough battle on the third map, the Poles prevailed in overtime of Mirage to lock down the series.

The team list of the Europe Minor closed qualifier now looks as follows:

Open qual. #4

Open qual. #4

The last open qualifier will take place on November 24-25; teams can sign up on ESEA here.

The finalist of the tournament got rekt by giants 16:9 but havu Just had a much better game plan and map pool than giants who are a 2 month team with not much time to practice because they had to travel to spain every week so they could play on spanish League but i hope your opinion about them will change in 1/2 month bro sometimes it takes time for a team to work look at ldlc they were shit for months and now they are looking really good

My point is it's a t3-6 tournament there. If they can win those how do they expect to even make it to mdl league.

They Just had a bad Day they dont have map pool to win bo3 against havu so Nuke was free win for havu and overpass game was Just a trow they had so many rounds with Man advantage that they trowed it was Just really bad and they tilt and loose but it was their first international lan give them until the end of the here to practice and I am sure they will impress you, players like rmn killdream mutiris and Fox are players that Can fight against tier 2 teams Just rizz is really inexperienced and need time to grow and adapt to their level right now they are playing a lot and they are really talented and Hard working people they Just need time to be more stable cause right now they are still not ready for even tier 3 teams at least on a bo3 a bo1 they Can win

Sorry :/ I am not really worried about writing well on hltv, but i would say that it was understandable, at least i wrote the words well, lets look at it on a positive way :D

2018-11-12 00:15

Almost out in first match 16-13 against randoms, lost in second. They're even worse than I thought

2018-11-24 22:14

ieSF is tier 56111341

2018-11-12 00:29

Hahahaahhahahaah Gigants need stay with Fox mutt and pick 3 young players not this shit old k1ck lineup

2018-11-12 01:11

Rizz is a new guy and i think he is doing very well actually If i had to take someone out it would be maybe killdream for zelin but i believe this lineup can get good results just give them time

2018-11-12 01:33

Bro rmn and killdream are almost in the same level as mutiris plus portugal doesnt have any good young talent maybe the best one is stadodo but still for him rizz its better because he plays much better at lan and he fits better role wise zelin is amazing but to lurk we already have killdream

2018-11-12 09:44

Dude, they just got absolutely destroyed by HAVU who I would say is team that is extremely unlikely to qualify vs teams such as LDLC and Vitality, tells enough about Giants level, probably lose to some low noobs ro64 or some shit :D...

2018-11-24 22:13

x-com was cheating

2018-11-11 23:44

2018-11-12 00:00

GJ X-KOM!!! EZ OSKARISH

2018-11-11 23:05

RR always falling short at the last map vs polak power

Yea and we Will see one more quals xD but no more PL teams who can advance to close qual so they will do it next time :D

4 polish teams, is it a Dream?

ezpiranto

Nice

Vitality pls dont choke last change

and ldlc too

2018-11-11 23:10

yes both deserves

2018-11-11 23:13

I think they can do it. They choked twice in round of 16 14-16 and didn't play 3rd one because of IEM Chicago.

2018-11-12 00:27

lel

Lol @ rr

Half of closed qualifier is danish and polish lol

Red reserve OMEGALUL Vitality OMEGALUL

RR played with 2 standins, but they still have a chance in last quals. i think it was a nice run from them vitality tier 4, who cares about them

2018-11-11 23:28

Oh, didn't even notice that when it comes to RR. I hope they manage to qualify in the last one tho, they desverve it imo +1, vitality is an overhyped trash, only Zywoo is good (+maybe apex?) but overall this team wont succeed

NADWAGO, FATALITY XAXAXXAXAXAXXAXXXXXA

x-kom deserved. clips.twitch.tv/VastBlightedDinosaurBaby..

look at the map m8

he shooted to bait 2 guys from palace, so ninja guy could easily kill them

If that was remotely true, why don't the guy in ninja look towards palace? Clearly what you said isn't true.

2018-11-11 23:50

well, no one was watching ramp and you can see T's running towards site/sandwich, also look on jungle guy, he was watching if they're pushing stairs

2018-11-11 23:55

Still if you expect someone to be baited out of palace you would look palace. Stop defending him just because he is from poland.

2018-11-11 23:58

here is your cheater, look on this clip and watch, he also shooted before to bait them clips.twitch.tv/SavoryFairQuailWoofer 6s

2018-11-12 00:17

Your logic is so wack. Just because he already shot there once, it should make sense that he shoots there? they know that one is very close to go out, so why wouldn't he wait for him? and again why aren't the guy in ninja looking at palace when he knows that his mate tries to bait him out? Wake up, this isn't the first time we have seen fishy clips of oskarish.

gj valiance ! !

essa

If vitality doesn't even qualify for the minor it's the most expensive team flop

believe me they wont

Won't qualify or won't fail?

they will not qualify and also will never ever win anything i cant understand logic of vitality ceo or whatever this org are to buy these guys, its simple doesnt work like that .

2018-11-11 23:15

I would say the logic could be merchandise, however imo scream has a far more marketable person in terms of name brand compared to happy and rpk....

2018-11-11 23:18

Won't qualify

can't top 100Thieves. they didn't even play a single match iirc

2018-11-11 23:24

True that, although 100thieves is the best team ever. Never lost a single match ;)

2018-11-11 23:27

And at the same time they're the worst team ever. Never won a single match ;)

2018-11-12 00:07

Ez4Vali

Let's go Valiance!

Man, there will be Polish blood spilled at this qualifier. Byali vs TaZ vs Neo vs Goofy. There will be sad Poles.

4 polish teams and probably none of them will go further that closed.

you mean Poland & Denmark Minor Closed Qualifier

expected from x-kom

haha ago

2018-11-11 23:11

valiance>vitality LOL

yes

2018-11-11 23:14

3 times they got eliminated. 1st qualifier almost lost vs leftout 16-14 and then lost to sprout 9-16 (round of 8), 2nd qualifier lost to tempo storm 16-7 (round of 32), 3rd qualifier almost lost vs cats 16-14 and then lost to valiance in overtime 16-19 (round of 8).

2018-11-11 23:20

2018-11-11 23:48

4 Polish teams in qualifier for minor before major in Poland... Seems rigged

AGO could still qualify but I doubt that

2018-11-11 23:19

I don't believe they could qualify even in a rigged event

They won't play cuz they will be in China on LAN

2018-11-12 00:58

unless they lose fast.

2018-11-12 01:12

Where is mixwell' lineup? Quite on the shadow Such a shame

they forgot to sign up for 3rd open qualifier and I think they lost 1st and 2nd one. 1 more to go

Feelsbadman

clips.twitch.tv/VastBlightedDinosaurBaby.. Nice gamesense bois

2018-11-11 23:22
