Francoski ekipi Titan je vendarle uspel preboj na turnir v Katowicah, ki bo čez približno 1 mesec.

Po tem ko so izgubili proti ekipi CLG v winners bracketih, so proti CPH Wolvesih v losers bracketsih vendarle prišli do lahke zmage z 16-. Tako so se uspešno kvalicirali na glavni turnir. Ponovno smo gledali dominanco KennyS-a.

Ruska ekipa Piter ni bila niti malo kos ukrajinsko-ruski ekipi Flipsid3 Tactics.

Poraženki med top4, Piter ter Flipsid3 sta se udarili na mapi mirage kjer so izkušnje pokazale več. Flipsid3 tactics so z 16-3 z lahkoto prišli na Major Katowice turnir.

Imamo prvi dve ekipi, ki sta se uvrstili na Katowice turnir. To sta norveški LGB ter ameriški CLG.

Norvežani so premagali Flipsid3 tactics z 16-11, po tem ko so odigrali zelo dobro Terrorists stra na mapi inferno. Tako so se pridružili ekipi CLG, ki je premagala ekipo Titan z 16-14 (več spodaj).

Tudi prva tekma je bila zelo razburljiva. Potem ko jo Titan komaj premagal rusko ekipo Piter z 28-24 po treh podaljških, so prišli ameriški CLG ter jih premagali še v eni razburljivi tekmi z 16-14.

V Katowicah se bodo danes pričele kvalifikacije, kjer se bo pomerilo 16 ekip.

Ekipe so razdeljene v skupine, iz vsake skupine napreduje najboljših 4. Kdo se bo uvrstil ?

Ekipa Solo Mid je zmagovalka 99Damage Masters turnirja.

V finalih so švedski property zmagali z 2-0 po lahkih 16-1 ter 16-7. To je torej njihov prvi naslov po tem, ko so zamenjali organizacijo (dignitas -> TSM).

Prva mapa de_nuke, je bila izbrana s strani ekipe Solo Mid, kjer so dokazali kako močni so na CT strani, zmagali so z kar 16-1. Druga mapa je bila za odtenek bolj zanimiva, to je bila cache vendar je še vedno bila precej enostranska (16-7).

1. Team SoloMid – $5,000
2. Property – $2,500
3. PENTA – $1,500
4. dignitas – $1,000

Prva lovorika pod novo organizacijo za Team Solo Mid

Izgleda da se bodo govorice uresničile, namreč švedska ekipa NiP išče novega člana.

V prejšnji novici smo objavili, da se pojavljajo govorice da bo maikelele zapustil NiP, saj bo pomagal ekipi Orbit pri Nordic Masters turnirju. NiP je pred nekaj minutami izdal uradno objavo, kjer navajajo,da iščejo novega AWP-erja saj Maikelele nima dovolj izkušenj. Sicer še vedno ostaja član NiP-a, in ima priložnost v tem času, da se popravi oz. nauči še kaj.

“The Ninjas in Pyjamas CS:GO team are going to try out new players for the time being, to see if there is a possibility that they find a better line-up than the one they have today,” a statement from Nip reads.

 

“Maikelele is a great talent and a very good player, but lacks a certain amount of experience that is required in order to have a permanent spot in the NiP line-up.

 

“Much more than pure talent is required in order to play professionally on an international level.

 

“Maikelele is still a part of NiP and has been informed of his shortcomings and now has a chance of working on them. In other words, the CS:GO team still consists of the same five players, but we are open to trying new players for the upcoming period of time.

 

“Maikelele adapted well to the CS:GO team, meaning there are no other aspects to this decision but the sporting ones that are the base of this evaluation period.”

Vse kaže, da bo Maikelele zapustil NiP.

Mikail “Maikelele” Bill je novembra lani prišel v NiP kot trial član namesto Robin “Fifflaren” Johansson. Govorice so se pojavile po nekaj tweetih ekipe Orbit.GG ter Maikeleleta. Ali to pomeni vrnitev Fifflarena ali prihaja kakšen boljši AWP-jer, glede na to da je “fiffy” postal strokovni komentator in mu pri tem gre kar dobro od rok. HLTV.org, so sicer kontaktirali NiP vendar se vodstvo ekipe ni odzvalo. 1 mesec pred velikim turnirjev Katowice torej prihaja do velikih komplikacij, saj je NiP ena izmed glavnih ekip za osvojitev naslova tudi tam.

Člani, ki so še v NiP so torej:

Christopher “GeT_RiGhT” Alesund
Patrik “f0rest” Lindberg
Richard “Xizt” Landström
Adam “friberg” Friberg

Team Orbit je napovedal nekaj novosti v ekipi.

• Speculative fix for spectating audio bug.
• Added player flashbang visual indicators with a progress bar that shows over players heads when you are watching via GOTV.

• Added flavor text to the Bravo Collection weapons.
• Added 5 new Music Kit Offers.
• Added 12 new Sticker Offers.

Bivši član ekipe mTw Oliver “minet” Minet , je najavil svojo vrnitev v profesionalno CS:GO sceno.

Minet je sicer znan po CS 1.6 pro sceni, ko je leta 2011 objavil da bo prenehal z igranjem v competitive sceni. Minet je osvajal vse kar se osvojiti dalo, zmagal je Dreamhack winter 2009, 2010 ter bil tretji na IEM World Championshipu.

Po treh letih je javno objavil, da se vrača v CS sceno tokrat v najnovejšo različico igre Global Offensive!

Njegova javna objava in mnenje glede igre CS:GO:

“When CS:GO came out, I did not really like the game,” Minet told HLTV.org. “I got some offers back then, but I decided to focus on school and some hobbies of mine.

 

“In the meantime, my longtime friend suranga, with whom I had the pleasure of travelling a lot during 1.6, asked me a few times to reconsider and to come back with him.

 

“Now, two years later, I have decided to give it a chance because I miss the competition and the scene. I have a lot of spare time right now, so I will be focused and dedicated to this comeback.

 

“I feel the game has evolved and is much better, and even though I am lacking hours when compared to the top players, I think my chances of a successful comeback  are pretty good.

 

“I have already found a bunch of lads to play with, three of whom I have played alongside in the past and were very important throughout my 1.6 career – suraNga, Stofqaz & wazorN. They all taught me a great deal. Last, but not least, zecer, also a familiar face, especially for me.

 

“I am really looking forward to playing a lot of CS again and having fun with it. Remember to come watch my stream, I plan on running it as much as possible!”

Ekipa ex-ESC je podpisala pogodbo z organizacijo Gamers2 ter se ji pridružila z ekipo za CS:GO.

Potem, ko je prišlo do kar nekaj komplikacij zaradi VALVE bana ekipe ex-ESC, se je vse uredilo. Organizacija Gamers2 je imela boljšo ponudbo kot organizacija ESC, zato so se innocent ter soigralci odločili zamenjati ekipo. Tako bodo od sedaj naprej poljaki igrali pod imenom Gamers2, prva njihova večja preizkušnja se bo začela že prihajajoči vikend, kjer se bodo pomerili v kvalifikacijah za Katowice, kjer imajo veliko možnosti za uvrstitev na glavni turnir.

Igrali bodo s postavo:

Paweł “innocent” Mocek
Grzegorz “SZPERO” Dziamałek
Mikołaj “mouz” Karolewski
Jacek “MINISE” Jeziak
Karol “rallen” Rodowicz

Uradna objava innocenta, kapetana ekipe Gamers2

“We are proud to announce that, from this day, we will represent Gamers2.

“We are really excited, because we always dreamed about the possibility of playing CS full-time and treating our passion as a job, too. Our motivation is sky high and we are ready to become an excellent team.

“Gamers2 is the best choice that we could have made. Even though they could have cut us off after our ban affair, they helped us a lot, and I think we would not have made it without their magnificent work.

“We would like to thank Gamers2 for trusting us and giving us the opportunity to attend every possible event and let us prove what we are capable of. 2015 is going to be a huge year for Counter-Strike, and we cannot wait to compete under Gamers2’s flag.”

Ostale so samo še najboljše 4 ekipe, ki se bodo danes (11.2.2015) ter jutri (12.2.2015) pomerile v polfinalih ter finalih.

Organizacija ESC Gaming (ex-PUTA) je objavila, da iščejo zadnjega člana, ki bo igral za njihovo ekipo.

To je sicer ekipa, ki se je na offline kvalifikacije uvrstila pod imenom “puta”, vendar se je zaradi ex-ESC ekipe preimenovala v ESC Gaming, vendar samo začasno. Na kvalifikacijah bo norveška ekipa sicer imela zamenjavo za Rasmus “raalz” Steensborg. To bo Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander, ki je že znan iz drugih tekmovanj. Raalza ne bo, ker je na počitnicah :p

“Tonight is the night where we return to our home, we are back and we are very happy to be here,” said Hansen.

“ESC Gaming decided to pick us up after our newly formed squad qualified for offline finals in katowice next weekend.

“It is no secret that this is the organisation I wanted us to represent from the very moment I formed this team, and now that it has happened, I couldn’t be happier.

“We would like to thank Rolf for once again picking us up and sending us to Katowice next weekend!”

Nikolaj “EXR” Therkildsen
Morten “COLON” Johansen
Sune “crZy” Hansen
Jesper “tenzki” Plougmann
Rasmus “raalz” Steensborg
