mousesports invited to ESL One Cologne 2019

2-5-2019 18:10

MOUZ have received a direct invite to ESL One Cologne 2019.

The European mix team will join 15 other contestants in Cologne, Germany on July 2-7 in squaring it out for the lion's share of $300,000 in prize money. Additionally, the squad that subsequently hoists the tournament trophy will receive a point towards the Intel Grand Slam Season 2.

With the invitation of MOUZ, a total of six slots remain to be filled: two reserved for invited teams, and four to be distributed to squads that top the European, North American and Asian qualifiers.

mousesports will look to deal damage in Cologne

Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen and his men are currently in the thick of IEM Sydney 2019, where they are set to face MIBR in the quarter-finals. The victor of the match-up will take on tournament favourites, Liquid, looking to cop a spot in the grand final.

The team list for ESL One Cologne 2019 currently looks like:

Invite slot

EU Qualifier #1

NA Qualifier

Invite slot

EU Qualifier #2

Asia Qualifier

deserved they are promising

NRG Liquid C9 Movistar Riders Vitality

22 replies

NRG & Liquid are fine. The rest would get blown out of the stadium by mouz.

liquid will be invited, c9 are so much worse than mousesports, vitality overrated cuz of zywoo, movistar riders literally broke cuz Lowell left and they weren't even good with him on the roster

20 replies

You can't tell if C9 is better. The question was "Who is better than mousesports atm who aren't invited?" so Liquid is a valid answer Vitality ended in top working hard, mouz is in top 30 without doing anything. Movistar Riders > ENCE

18 replies

“Without doing anything” 3-0 in EPL gs

2019-05-02 18:38

OH WOW 3 matches Vs space shits, opLuL and lultrh. Come on 3 matches mean nothing. Gtfo

2019-05-02 18:41

Theyve worked every team in Sydney right now. Other than a shit first game by woxic. Dont be so butthurt.

2019-05-02 18:45

1 event still means nothing. Then ask gambit

2019-05-02 19:03

2019-05-03 01:27

They don't qualify anywhere and haven't achieved anything. They are tier 3/4 /close

2019-05-03 01:44

2019-05-03 01:47

Liquid will either get invited or they will skip the tournament

2019-05-03 03:12

TRUE +1

1st Oh shit

Nice

Next 2 gotta be from NA .. Liquid nd NRG most likely

lol #3

cry is free lol

nucee

Ez tournament for them i guess

But where is Liquid :o

Awesome Kinda worried liquid haven't gotten an invite yet, hope they didn't decline

They know they can’t win true t1, so they dodge and go all in on t1.5/2 like Sydney so they have a shot ;-)

Semi true, they know at least they can get second :)

I think the EU teams are invited first.. so my guess is Liquid and NRG.. (dunno about Renegades)

Hope so.

Liquid???

expected

nice

very good decision. I am guessing TL and Vitality will be the remaining ones

lmao but there's 2 invits remaining and still no Liquid or Vitality (even rng)

2019-05-02 18:46

Renegades are invited. Did you mean NRG?

2019-05-02 18:47

Oh yes

2019-05-02 18:49

I don't think that both TL and NRG will be invited. It's probably going to be TL and the only last invite I can think of is G2 if NBK says that they didn't get the invite.

2019-05-02 18:51

Inviting G2 over Vitality ? Sounds stupid but like Apex said "classic ESL" Maybe Liquid declined the invit

2019-05-02 18:53

I agree that it is strange, I guess it would be because G2 has a bigger legacy and more prestigious and accomplished players.

2019-05-02 18:56

I would agree but Mouse is invited aaaaaaaaaaaaaand this roster is promising but they proved nothing

Just the name mouz

2019-05-02 19:44

oh god

2019-05-02 18:48

EZ4KARRIGAN

Yes! ez4mouz!

goooddd

deserved

This tournament will be straight fire!

Nice ez4mouz

ez4mouse

odd to send an invite to a team at a time when they had no meaningful results

they have looked good whenever they played, especially in EPL S9 EU and they have a roster full of talents and stars

2019-05-02 18:16

2019-05-02 18:34

plus it is an german org so that probably helps.

its the first esl cologne invite since years, so which help do u speak of?

They were invited last year and the year before that so check your facts.

2019-05-02 19:00

yea you're right, my fault. somehow i got closed quali in my mind.

2019-05-02 20:15

No problem dude it can happen , i just hope this mousesports line up lives up to its full potential

2019-05-02 20:17

cry is free mouz still german hope

2019-05-02 18:52

EZ4mouz

2019-05-02 18:14

Liquid Vitality

somehow I expect G2 cause kennyS got a bigger name ... all about marketing

Damn never thought of that

2019-05-02 18:18

EZ4MOUZ

2019-05-02 18:19

Finally !!! TY

2019-05-02 18:20

Surely last two are for liquid and nrg right?

Either NRG or team vitality will get an invite. That's my thought

Nrg and Liquid will get the invite.

2019-05-02 21:44

Just to be sure - Mousesports are looking in a good shape right now :) . They deserved this invite 100%

NRG and Liquid will be invited and Vitality will come from EU qualification spot

It's a joke, Vitality and G2 should be invite, and mouse doing the qualif

twitter.com/NBK/status/11239893886047109.. no g2 and vitality should qualify through #2 qualfier spots

mouse should be in the qualifier, not Vita srry to teII u that mate, it's not fair

i can understand your pain it sucks IMO big shouldnt be here or qualifier instead and invite: TL/NRG/vitality

Big it's normal that they got an invite, they are the real home team with 4 germans players But I mean Fnatic or nip dont deserved more the invite than Vitality

2019-05-02 18:55

but luckily vitality can still qualify through the closed qualifers and join the event - invites are always bit shitty tbh.

2019-05-02 18:58

I hope but it's not gonna be ez, I guess they will play against lot's of dangerous team like G2, Avangar,optic, Windigo, Heroic maybe Valiance as well

2019-05-02 19:01

Mouz is home team they deserve the invite

cmon man, the org is german, not the players

2019-05-02 18:54

still many german fans

+111

Thats how mafia works

2019-05-06 11:38

G2 shit too

2019-05-03 11:56

Deserved! GL guys

2019-05-02 18:35

wasted spot

should be Liquid and NRG/Vitality

Liquid and G2 next one

G2 Lmaoooo

2019-05-02 18:39

Do you really think G2 deserve invite more than NRG??

You mean Liquid and Vitality

No just wait G2 and Liquid

2019-05-02 18:50

Actually it's Liquid and Cloud9 or NRG, NBK said on twitter that his team got invited into the closed qualifier and decided he will play it !

2019-05-02 19:12

Liquid and NRG Pog

2019-05-02 19:42

I hope we can see Hellraisers there

Deserved

Liquid and NRG pls

2019-05-02 18:59

INVITE G2 CMON!!!!!

Deserved unlike M16R

Woxic <3

2019-05-02 19:06

Devils.one next plz! we need it

2019-05-02 19:16

#vamouz

Not wasted spot, good.

Riduculous

2019-05-02 19:31

So Mousesports new team who haven't proven anything gets invite but Vitality who qualified to the major all the way from the open qualifier, made top 8 starseries, qualified ECS, top 10 ranked team doesn't get invited ? :)

2019-05-02 19:33

Vitality has no space to get better. Mouz instead has a lot of potential.

2019-05-02 19:34

Mouz has 0 potential with this roster

2019-05-03 11:55

same as MIBR

2019-05-03 12:02

in few months when they get enough LAN experience i guess any Brasilian team would not be a problem at all (if they dont disband till that time because they are just bad overall)
