Hello darkness my old friend

u/Paintwave Renegades Jun 14 '17

Probably Envy, BIG and last spot to be toss-up between PENTA, LDLC and Dignitas.

u/Dubzayy Jun 14 '17

Ballistix will surprise.

u/Lemongif Virtus.pro Jun 14 '17

I feel same about Kinguin, groups, apart from NV, are wide open

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '17

is kinguin not in? theyre far better than dignitas

u/zedfredbed Jun 15 '17

Kinguin has no chance

u/Gerf93 Envyus Jun 14 '17

I think BIG is better than a lot of those, and should be in that same category.

u/drewst18 Astralis Jun 14 '17

Uhhhh no.
How do you not mention BIG here

u/K0vsk Jun 14 '17

u/MJuniorDC9 Jun 14 '17

Envy, Dig and PENTA can do this, but people have been talking a lot about BIG and I don't know if Dig can hold them, or even if Dig will be able to hold LDLC in group stage.

u/Dubzayy Jun 14 '17

Don't rest on Ballistix.

u/Albert_the_king G2 Jun 14 '17

u/ABK-Baconator ENCE Jun 15 '17

This qualifier is stacked with good players. :(

u/chaRxoxo FaZe Jun 14 '17

NV, BiG & Penta going through I'd say

u/JayCDee CS2 HYPE Jun 14 '17

NV, BIG and LDLC. Totally biased though.

u/UBourgeois Tyloo Jun 14 '17

u/ABK-Baconator ENCE Jun 15 '17

Saggerton gonna miss them shots in a crucial moment at 14-14 and finland hope lost

u/Sinkkis_ Jun 15 '17

100% this will happen

u/TiABBz Jun 14 '17 edited Jun 14 '17

So, whoever wins the semi-finals is qualified (2 Teams, no matter the games after that) and whoever wins the elimination-match (1 Team, losers-match) after the semi-finals is qualified.

Upper-bracket finals, lower-bracket finals and grand final are just for seeding, if anyone wonders

u/UBourgeois Tyloo Jun 14 '17

and prize money!

u/dukeyNRW BIG Jun 14 '17

All I want is BIG stickers plz

u/TontZa1 Jun 19 '17

They will come! 50/50.

u/Deadly_Toast Jun 14 '17

Been a while since Thorin has been at an event.

u/jonstosik Renegades Jun 15 '17

No SPUNJ no party.

u/Ulmali Jun 14 '17

2: iGame.com replaced zehN with Juhob

zehN was never part of iGame during any minor qualifier, major qualifier, minors, or anything related to current majors / minors.

u/rafaa1 Jun 14 '17

u/TontZa1 Jun 19 '17

Never made it through :D

u/Pepipo Jun 14 '17

Sixer got this <3

u/-Mosski- Renegades Jun 14 '17

Great times for Australians :)

u/AndyFNG MOUZ Jun 14 '17

I feel like any of these teams could make it through and they'd do decent at the major qualifier.

u/disse_ ENCE Jun 14 '17

If the matches would have started just a few hours later I might not have to leave early for the summer holidays from work.

u/Anarchyz11 FaZe Jun 14 '17

Envy, BIG, Dignitas are my picks.

u/MrAdi123 bravo Jun 14 '17

nV,LDLC, Kinguin lets gooooo

u/_toolz Jun 14 '17

You gotta put NV in the top 3 of these teams but shit I bet they are going to have to work for it. I would be terrified if I was a NV fan.

u/Delvez Virtus.pro Jun 14 '17

Ez for kinguin

u/Thrannn BIG Jun 14 '17

pls big give us stickers.

envy big and penta should make it. but so much potential to get upset.

u/itsConnor_ Natus Vincere Jun 14 '17

nV, big, ldlc imo

u/IAmAGermanShepherd 1 Million Celebration Jun 14 '17

Let's go LDLC!

u/schedlrapp Jun 14 '17

u/Mysciak Virtus.pro Jun 14 '17

Go go Pinguin Poland stronk

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '17

nV, LDLC, and BIG les go.

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '17

Can i actually bet for these? Lootbet has insane odds for these matches but i'am afraid tier3 cs is too random :(

u/Ravioli227 BIG Jun 14 '17

Feeling NV, LDLC, and Big here but Penta just recently beat big and Kinguin shows up every now and then.

u/daellat FaZe Jun 14 '17

Do I read that correctly that the first match will be at 9 in the morning local time?

u/Chuckys2 Match Thread Team Jun 14 '17

yes

u/daellat FaZe Jun 14 '17

okay thanks ^ ^

u/tf2isbad Jun 14 '17

great talent lineup and then they add justharry

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '17

Looking at the competing teams it makes me wonder if NiP has really fallen THIS low to not make it to this tourney... ^FeelsBadMan

u/Danshu_lv Jun 15 '17

No one think Kinguin can do it?

u/QuantumLoveHS Jun 15 '17

When did this new overlay appear for PGL? Is it recent or has been there for like a month+ ? (ESL finals didn't have this)

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '17

So is it Kraków or București (i.e. Bucharest for non-believers)?

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '17 edited Jun 15 '17

Was at work. Why didnt the last two matches play out today? Saw the Envy series was 1-1.

Edit: Nevermind, saw this hasnt been updated.

u/weas95 1 Million Celebration Jun 15 '17

Why is this still not updated ?

u/Frozinth FaZe Jun 16 '17

Thorin is so annoyingly annoying.

u/MassiveRaptor Jun 18 '17

100% agree

u/santatitular G2 Jun 18 '17

So does DIG and Penta already havea place in the Major or the Major qualifier?

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '17

u/Slefiw NiP Jun 14 '17

Go Envyus!!!

u/n188hj Jun 14 '17

Can we have spunj at every event now? He's definitely one of my favourite caster and analysis. His banter was hilarious when he was with Henry and skadoopoo at the 2v2 event and he was also amazing with Andres at the minor. Pls dad

u/ManiekFutureStar Jun 14 '17

Kinguin, Penta and LDLC, mark my words ;)

u/fsfred NiP Jun 14 '17

i'm pretty sure nV will qualify easily if they keep their recent level of play
