As I said in the last newspost, the ESL Major Series Qualifiers are now in the short week round. This means that matches from Round 2 of the Lower Bracket should have been played till Wednesday, theoretically. However, some of the last round matches have just been played, so as the deadline ends tonight, several interesting matches will take place.
So far, the battle is intense as we are getting close to the end of these Qualifiers. We had 32 teams, and as went on through the Qualifiers, 10 teams had to say farewell to this season. 6 more will have to same faith, 3 of them tonight, as we will remain with only 16 teams that will form the ESL Major Series Group Stage. Who are the eliminated teams and which ones will get into the EMS Group Stage. Just read more!
Battle starts at 21.00 CET, and here we are, with two great teams that meet in the Winner Bracket Semi-Final. First one, is quite known and legendary, and now that they have the best ET aimer, mAus, they'll try to win everything and get their hand on the big prize. Their opponents will surely try their best as they seem to be playing very good lately. What will the outcome be? Tune in to see, tonight!
R0SS`i: Tonight should be a tough match, but after the recent victory against e-wave who are a strong team, i feel we will win this one 4-0.
zeroE`Jinosta: Well, I think Impact will take this with their new lineup and final one too, I hope :) hopefully we can put up a good fight tho and maybe even take a map. :)

Second exciting match from Thursday night, is between the 3rd place holder of the last EMS season and a newly formed team that looks promising and will try to give their best in order to win and qualify in the Group Stage. Don't miss this incredible match, as both teams prepared a lot for this battle.
Kevin: Well, two4two has been performing quite unstable lately, one day everything clicks and we play very well, the next day nearly nothing clicks and we play far below our normal skill level. Having that said, I think that we have a chance at beating IDK if we perform well. They're a team like there are 20 out there atm, good but nothing special, although at the moment I'd say they are the favorites to win it. I'd say 4-2 for IDK, and if we have a good day then I'd say 4-2 to us.
Clown`: We have been practicing alot lately, seemed like we are doing fine, some maps still need work but overall im satisfied with our play. 242 have pretty good players, but I don't know how active they are so I can't say much about them. I think it's gonna be a close game, hopefuly we win it. I guess the score will be 4:2.

League: ESL EMS VII PlayoffsNext match is an eliminatory one! If you wonder who is playing, then you must know that they are about to release their rage and fury after they found out they were not invited to play CB EuroCup. On the other side, one of the best and decent czech teams, will try to do their best and get into the ESL Major Series Group Stage.
dANIELm: Well we perform really well these days, last night we played without FiREBALL really strong and today he's back, with gr0ss s1LENT & fatih we have 3 strong aimers. Our opponent today is iR that must be an easy bash to show everyone that Homer is wrong with his stupid attitude against germans. I think it will be 4-0 if we play good maps like supply/gold/radar, if they take a lotto map, 4-2.
`iR|denton: We played against HB half a year ago quite often, after some changes in lineups on our and their side it's not easy to guess who is going to win this one. They will try to prove that we don't belong in EC and we won't let this fact affect our game. In my opinion we can win 4-2.

League: ESL EMS VII PlayoffsAnother eliminatory match, where one team will have to say good bye. They came back from inactivity to make history again, who are they? See below! As for their opponents, they'll try the impossible tonight, to qualify in the ESL Major Series Group Stage. Let's see what each team had to say:
frozz: We are still doing stupid mistakes that cost us victory on a certain map, so if we don't do such things tonight I hope we can beat them. We played them few times in last 2 weeks and I'd say that all games were pretty much close. I expect 4-2 victory for us.
high5|syriusZ: This match is "all or nothing" for us so we gonna do our best to take our victory tonight. Sth is obviously a good team, i think most would consider us to be underdogs in this match but we've seen em losing badly to 242 so they are definitely beatable. If we avoid stupid mistakes like in the previous match should be 4:0 for us.

League: ESL EMS VII PlayoffsLast match from Thursday night! Another Zero Empathy team will struggle to qualify in the EMS Group Stage, getting reinforcement. However, looking at their opponents, it will be hard for them, and that makes the match even more exciting. Who is the reinforcement Zero Empathy got, and how will they perform tonight? Find out for yourself, at 22.15 CET!
myR|Playboy: We are performing well lately, able to win vs OC premier teams and even take a map vs some EC qualifier teams. Our opponent (blurred-vision) is a pretty decent polish clan that is around for a while now if my memory serves me correctly. I expect this match to be a very tight one, we are around as a team for a while now too and are pretty stable, same goes for bv. This match can go either way, but if we play our super game I expect us to take it as a 4-2 victory.
zeroE`Estaloth: We perform pretty well lately (offis only XD), but unfortunately one of us won't be available so wouldn't say it rly matters. What does is a fact, that they have pretty strong lineup - with pds and those french famas mates. However I expect great entertainment from both teams. We've already taken really strong replacement so am willing to win by decider. Sounds pretty confident but it can't go wrong with Krein ^.^ cheers!
