Who is your favorite for the upcoming season?

my favorite is Copenhagen Wolves  lol
|
It would be nice to see Millenium competing in this, hope they sign up for the qualifiers this time!
I also hope Empire re-build their lineup, it's not exactly the same when they're competing with Ence, and with NaVi disbanding, they can make a sick team with Brat_OK, Strelok and HappyZerg.
Western Wolves will probably re-qualify and it depends on the availability of their Koreans as to whether they can do well. They need a couple of European players imo apart from StarNaN and Daisy who is living in Europe.
My favourite is obviously mouz <3
May I say, that I absolutely love this team league, with all the best EU teams. Would be awesome if ESL could get Kaelaris and someone else to cast it from the studios.

For those interested, the following notable teams are currently signed up for the first qualifier:
3D Clan
Alien Invasion
Cascade
Copenhagen Wolves
ESC Gaming
NewRoSoft
Team Empire
Team Property
Vega Squadron

Millenium will not try to qualify because they can't stream their matches.
|
Will be some great games! Good luck to all the teams!

Poison TV is streaming in English. Is the bracket for the first qualifier available somewhere?

Empire-Ence and NewRoSoft are the first to qualify, second qualifier today! I'm betting on aAa and Copenhagen Wolves, or maybe Team Property.

Given what happened last time (not last season but the one before), it's very unlikely. Millenium was invited but forfeited after the first match because ESL didn't allow them to stream their matches (even though they got like 20x more viewers than the other streams and the fact that there was no ESL stream). That's a weird way to promote a competition I must say.

Millenium pulls out, because of a weird promotion move. How ironic. That said, them not being there is ofc. a big loss for the tournament, as they surely would be a contender for the first place.
Btw., if anyone wants to see carriers again, Adonminus vs. GoOdy includes quite a few of them on Koldyns stream.

The problem was that Millenium refused to stream on twitch.tv They were allowed to stream their own matches but not on dailymotion or somewhere else. After we informed them, they decided to forfeit.

If Acer is ½-serious about this, they will stomp this tournament so badly. Only Mouz seems to be another strong contender (maybe mYi)
|
Third qualifier running right now.
|
|
|
Damn it, Minato and Cascade knocking out ESC twice in a row. AT least they are qualified now, so they will not do it again in the 4th qualifier. Hoping for Karnage to get through as well.
|
Can anyone clarify whether its Karnage or Core that qualify?
Karnage won three of the five Bo3s, but Core won more maps, and the bracket says that Core wins, but shouldn't it be Karnage?
|
Qualified teams for now:
Q1 - NrS, Team Empire
Q2 - Vega Squadron, Copenhagen Wolves
Q3 - Cascade, Karnage eSports
