Continuing the Country Championship Qualifiers

The qualifiers for the ESL Country Championship go on. Yesterday we already had 4 games and tonight we will have 5 more. Finlantic6 and Mitiih already played today at 15:30 CEST, With gbooky statistics of 1.01 vs 100.00 it won’te be a surprise that Finlantic6 won the game with a score of 4-0.

Tonight’s mappool will be just like yesterday containing: Aldernest, Supply, sw_goldrushe_te and Frostbite. And once again I’m going to remind you that this mappool is only for the Qualifiers. The mappool for the 'main' Country Champsionship is yet to be announced. Like I said 5 games tonight Romania, The Netherlands, Germany, Finland and the United Kingdom will all play tonight trying to conquer the much wanted spot to represent their country.

League: 3on3 CC Qualifiers Judging from the statistics Salaneuvos is the player to spectate with 6.5K damage roughly ~1.2K more than both of his teammates he most have been on fire. Finlantic6 was seeded higher with RAAB which ment for them that they didn’t have to play in round 1 of the national qualifiers and this also means that they qualified themselves for the final by winning this match. Next matches for finland will be re+play vs RAAB with RAAB being the favorites.

League: 3on3 CC Qualifiers
Mouse Control are clearly the favorites here. saKen Joshua and SQuid have been together for long time and there stable aim and teamplay should give them the victory. Joshua has made the switch to the rifle in 6on6 but hopefully still has the awesome aiming skills he used to have with the SMG. Perhaps the less known III Musketiers can surprise us with awesome teamplay and by that giving us an exciting game to watch. The winner of this match will take a spot in the finals of the national qualifiers versus Draakjes. Suprisingly Keyboard Warriors lost yesterday versus Draakjes. Quoting xPERiA:’not just one thing went wrong, everything went wrong’

Probably the favorite of the German qualifiers,megaProGaming eSport featuring the legendary butchji and former dignitas player drago returning from inactivity combined with FLoPJEHZ will make this more than interesting game to watch. It would be amazing if rApeit could prove my words wrong and show the old schoolers how it’s done today but we can only hope for that.

League: 3on3 CC Qualifiers Finishing off today’s games with an interesting game a battle for the spot of United Kingdom’s 3on3 team. Featuring one lineup with UK stars rAzZ and sqZz perhaps a breakthrough for stAR better known as Artstar. They will fight it off with Grenades Galore, a team that is usually active late at night. Causamortis are the favorites of this match but Grenades Galore are surely not just going to give it away.
[bHow do the qualifiers work?[/b]]
Qualifiers are going to be played as one day cups.
First step - national qualifiers!
This means that each nation that has more than 2 teams signed up for it will play a qualifier to decide which team will represent the country. Only 1 team will qualify for each country!

Second step - Rest of Europe & NA qualifier!
As we only have only 16 free spots for the group stage and 24 nations, we'll have to drop 8 nations. That's why we'll create another qualifier after we know the teams that will represent their country.

Invites

11 countries are invited directly this means there are 5 spots left, 4 will go to the rest of Europe and 1 will go to non-euro qualifiers.
