17.09.2023

Ninjas in Pyjamas is the first team to win two RaidCall EMS One cups in a row. They seem quite invincible at the moment – will anyone be able to stop them?

UPDATE2: Astana Dragons are the winners of the first cup they participate in. The Kazakhstani-backed team defeated Na`Vi after behind behind 09-14 and then beat ENCE in the grand final with 16-11 and 16-11. With 100 points to their name, the Dragons have already secured themselves a spot in the group stage of the RaidCall EMS One.


UPDATE1: NiP goes down! ENCE eSports, the team around the old CS 1.6 veteran Joona 'natu' Leppänen, defeated them in an action-packed quarter final match that went into overtime. Meanwhile, Astana Dragons almost fell to ESC ICY BOX in the second round, but eventually managed to come back and win the match in overtime. After Team ALTERNATE surprisingly took down VeryGames, AD secured a win against the German team – and tomorrow, they will face Natus Vincere.


Today, starting 19:00 CEST, the third cup of the regular season goes live. NiP will face the winner of Vikings vs. EnRo GRIFFINS, and in the quarter final, EYES ON U, MayaM Gaming or ENCE eSports (formerly Team 4w) will be waiting for them.

This cup marks the debut of Astana Dragons, who face Finnish team solemn in the first round, only to be matched up with ESC ICY BOX. Potential quarter final opponents include the reigning RaidCall EMS One champions VeryGames – the Dragons have quite a journey ahead of them.
