CPH Wolves victorious in Cup #4
In the fourth and last cup, the RaidCall ESL Major Series One once again features Europe's elite – NiP, CPH Wolves, Na`Vi and many more. This time however, the less prominent will be in the spotlight, as it's their last chance to earn points in the cup ranking.
UPDATE2: Copenhagen Wolves are the winners of Cup #4! The Danish team takes home $600. PartyDaddlers have shown an excellent performance, though, defeating Na`Vi with 16–05 and taking the Wolves into the second overtime on de_dust2. It will be interesting to see if the Germans can make any impact in the group stage, starting next week!
UPDATE1: PartyDaddlers made it happen! Starting with zero points, last week's Go4CS:GO winners defeated Team LDLC.com, Fnatic and highgrade to secure a group stage spot. Tomorrow, the German team around Tobias 'Troubley' Tabbert and Chris 'chrisJ' de Jong will take on Natus Vincere in the semi-final. In the other semi-final, we will have a very strong ESC ICY BOX going up against Copenhagen Wolves.
Other German teams have been less successful than PartyDaddlers: 3DMAX took Western Wolves into overtime, but lost with 19–21 and therefore doesn't qualify for the group stage. Only one round separated EnRo GRIFFINS from this triumph: They were defeated by Copenhagen Wolves with a scoreline of 14–16. The remaining spots were occupied by the following teams: Team ALTERNATE, ESC ICY BOX, PartyDaddlers, highgrade and EYES ON U / team solemn who are both tied on #16. A decider match is going to be played between these teams.
16 teams will advance into the group stage, and so far, five of the teams are anything but safe, including ESC ICY BOX and 3DMAX. The first two rounds will decide the fate of many teams – ESL TV will go live at 19:00 CEST, so you will not miss any of the action.
For many teams that haven't qualified yet, getting into the quarter final will be the primary objective. This includes German teams like KILLERFISH eSports and EnRo GRIFFINS as well as the British representatives myXMG. Who will make it through? Tune in to find out!
