ESC Gaming win fourth EPS title

24-6-2012 14:32

The fourth season of the Polish ESL Pro Series concluded Saturday evening in the city of Zabrze. ESC Gaming claimed their fourth title in a row, once again without much resistance.

Top four ranked teams from the online group stage made it through to the season LAN finals, a one-day event in Zabrze, with the returning question from the past three seasons. Can any of the teams dethrone ESC Gaming?

The answer was no. ESC beat Universal Soldiers 16-4 on de_nuke and 16-3 on de_mirage in the semi-final, to make it through to the season final. DELTA advanced to meet the three-time EPS champs, with a 2-0 win against KAMUFLAGE.

US took third with a 2-0 win against KAMUFLAGE in the third place decider, before kicking off the season final. The final was, just like the other matches involving ESC, very one sided.

Starting on de_train, ESC won 16-7 against last season's third place finishers. Moving on to second map de_dust2 ESC got even less resistance from DELTA, who only managed to win three rounds. Winning 16-3 and 2-0 overall gave ESC their fourth ESL Pro Series title in a row.

2012-06-24 14:47

during the prize ceremony ESC announced they will be switching to CS:GO if the game hits major tournaments :-)

2012-06-24 14:55

WHAT?!

2012-06-25 00:49

DELTA, forever 2nd.

AFAIR players which currently play under DELTA tag finished 2nd in the last season.

2012-06-24 14:58

Yea Kuben says after final match. They will switch to CS:GO if CS 1.6 will not be on big turnaments ;( like IEM WCG DH GG etc... That so bad news. That is the prove for : "money money money and one more time money"

2012-06-24 15:06

he didn't said that. they'll switch only if there'll be no 1.6 tournaments...

2012-06-24 15:27

Its not their fault. They need money. The problem are tournament organizations that declined CS 1.6. Hate them. Die in hell.

true... like in neo's family everyone plays cs 1.6... i dont think he has anything to do in life then play games

2012-06-24 18:42

Imo they should focus on doing a real job instead of playing a new game. Nonsense.

They're way too old for CS:GO. Maybe they're going to be good in the beginning but the game will develop as well and new players gonna reach their skill easily.

You are right : )

2012-06-24 16:17

The teamwork and chemistry factor will make them great and one of the best for a few years easily. But other teams and younger players will catch up eventually your right.

i agree with thing that they are old, the rest is nonsense

2012-06-24 17:18

hmmm u come from the future so?

2012-06-24 23:37

2012-06-25 04:08

it is money in Poland ;)

2012-06-24 16:48

PL is not GER, but yeah it's not that much. It's ok ;)

2012-06-24 16:50

We don't live in Germany lol.

250€ is like someone month payment... and + hardware so its somethink like 500€ for each other...

2012-06-24 17:12

You are wrong. I think it might be below the lowest salary (in terms of law) in Poland.

2012-06-24 18:56

im not wrong cuz i know ppl. who earn 1000PLN.

2012-06-24 22:13

Is it a full-time job?

2012-06-27 12:22

maybe im wrong but 1000/5=200? :D

2012-06-24 18:15

1175:5 = 235

2012-06-24 20:11

expceted

2012-06-24 20:23

2012-06-24 20:33

2012-06-24 20:35

no doubt about that

2012-06-24 20:47

i have pasha t-shirt =D

2012-06-24 20:45

well done

2012-06-24 21:24

Actually, it's not a good sign. See Sweden, the Swedish championship is so unpredictable. Anything can happen because every player in every team is improving continuously. If the 2nd best team in Poland can't even pose a threat to ESC Gaming, it means when the Golden 5 retires, Poland will be gone from the international CS scene. Polish people will lose interest in CS with the new teams performing badly in international events = lower spectators = one more nail on the 1.6 coffin
