ESL One Cologne groups drawn

13-6-2016 00:43

The groups for the next major, ESL One Cologne 2016, were drawn live on the official stream shortly after the last match between G2 and Cloud9 was over.

Over the last four days sixteen teams fought in the newly-introduced Swiss system for eight spots at the next $1,000,000 major, ESL One Cologne.

Sixteeen major participants have been distributed into four seeding pools according to their placing at the previous major and at the offline qualifier, as usual.

G2 put into the group of death

Due to the Swiss system, this time a specific tie-breaking system had to be in use in order to determine which four teams receive the higher spot, the first of which being the win-loss ratio, and the second being the Buchholz score system (the sum of wins of the team's opponent).

That resulted into the following four seeding pools:

First	Second	Third	Fourth
Luminosity	CLG	MOUZ	Dignitas
Natus Vincere	Ninjas in Pyjamas	FaZe	FlipSid3
Liquid	Virtus.pro	Gambit	Envy
Astralis	fnatic	OpTic	G2

After Cloud9 and G2 finished the last match of the qualifier, ESL drew the Cologne groups, each featuring one team from each seeding pool.

The ESL One Cologne groups are following:

Group 1	Group 2	Group 3	Group 4
Liquid	Luminosity	Astralis	Natus Vincere
Virtus.pro	fnatic	CLG	Ninjas in Pyjamas
MOUZ	FaZe	Gambit	OpTic
Envy	G2	Dignitas	FlipSid3

* ESL will announce the group order later on

You dont know yet how Fnatic will play G2 seems still inconsistent

2016-06-13 19:56

Doesnt matter

2016-06-13 19:57

Faze might be the worst, but I could potentially see them toping that group if they are lucky. Assuming Olof is still out Fnatic will be fairly vulnerable and Faze could take them out in a best of 1 (hell, Liquid beat them in a BO1 when Fnatic HAD Olof). Then G2 and Luminosity will take have to face each other, so if they can get G2 (a team that can definitely beat Luminosity in a BO1), they will have a solid chance of topping that group. They could beat Luminosity too, but that seems extremely unlikely.

2016-06-13 21:49

Of course as I say that news breaks that Olof is returning... Olof will likely be a little rusty, but he should be 90% by the major, which should destroy Faze's chances of getting through and really make it a group of death.

2016-06-14 00:14

Liquid didnt beat Fnatic, S1mpquid beat Fnatic.

2016-06-17 18:27

yeah cuz faze went 3-0 in qualifier and g2 lost 16-1 LOL

2016-06-14 00:25

1. Mouz 2. Liquid 3. VP 4. NV And Im not a Liquid fan.

2016-06-17 18:28

I don't think so. I have very big respect for Liquid Team, but VP is really strong on LAN, same mousesport. Liquid experiance is not enough.

2016-06-19 13:00

1 word. S1mple.

2016-06-19 14:13

Shroud9 lost

Lost vs g2

They lost G2 (0 ((

You have to qualify to play clown 9 didnt do such things while clg and optic did.

2016-06-13 03:48

clg was qualified due to lucky tournament last time same as liquid

2016-06-13 12:27

didn't qualify for the first time ever

2016-06-13 14:19

didn't qualify for the first time

G2 ripped them bc shox hasnt missed a major

2016-06-13 14:29

mouse will make it out of groups for first time in a while

2016-06-13 15:03

how much for this spot / HLTV admin

only handjob )

2016-06-13 00:49

Ez all in optic eh?

2016-06-13 00:50

lol rip faze/g2/fnatic if without olof

rip lg. any team in this group can beat them

in a bo1 of course, but if anybody you'd expect lg to get out of groups more than anybody else in that group

Titan at katowice 2014 ;)

not saying its not possible. but you saying "any team in this group can beat any team" can be said for every group ever lol

2016-06-13 01:10

Faze and Fnatic, only bo1 with lucky. g2 maybe a bo3. but is a hell of a mountain to climb.

FaZe is better in BO3,then BO1.

2016-06-13 08:17

They're the best in BO2, if you know what i mean.

2016-06-13 12:53

Hell yeah, hahahah

2016-06-15 01:50

mouz top1 group A easy + VP, group B if olof comes dayum!, Astralis + Dig with Dig winning vs Astralis, NaVi & NiP easy

Liquid with s1mple > vp envyus

nt hiko

Nt virtus premier

VP has always made Legend status when they have attended, I doubt they wouldn't advance from that group on LAN.

2016-06-13 00:55

That doesn't mean that Nv will make it out.

2016-06-13 00:56

True, I'm thinking it will be mous and VP

Dreamhack Winter 2013 they didn't make it out of groups

2016-06-13 03:51

Liquid may do well with simple ...but i see out of those NA teams, OpTic doing the best, than Liquid and CLG ( if they can actually put there head into the game and not in there azz )

Optic over navi or nip? Don't see it happening unless they win the opener vs nip and flipside upsets navi

2016-06-13 17:57

RIP FAZE LOLL

RiP FaZe and G2 xD

2016-06-13 01:25

Liquid will choke

2016-06-13 14:58

if you actually think mouseports is better than that liquid lineup you are a straight up idiot

2016-06-14 17:56

apparently it's wrong to have your own opinion. nt american "freedom"

2016-06-15 02:45

its not an opinion its fact... liquid has better players

2016-06-15 03:32

It just doesn't automatically win you matches.

2016-06-16 04:53

yeah ,true, but niko is better then them all, if he goes off, mouz can do it

2016-06-22 12:03

you'll embarrass yourself even more if mouse beat liquid in the playoffs lmao

2016-06-15 02:48

By his comment you should be able to see that he does not understand the rules. As you pointed out correctly he is stupid.

thanks

2016-06-13 11:08

I honestly don't know how the groups are defined, can u pls tell me?

2016-06-13 12:42

The teams are distributed into 4 pools based on last major results. 1st pool: Semifinalists 2nd pool: Quarterfinalists 3rd pool: 1st round qualifiers 4th pool: 2nd round qualifiers One will be picked from each of those pools to form a group

2016-06-13 14:56

TY!

2016-06-14 16:26

RIP G2

WHERE IS CLOUD9??????????

where they belong , in the dumpster

+1 I'm a stupid cheeseburger and I agree with you.

2016-06-13 03:03

shroud will make more money streaming than olof will when he wins the major.

2016-06-13 08:27

i don't see your point here

2016-06-13 22:31

FLIPSID3 MIGHT MAKE IT THIS TIME edit: fuck i thought the seedings were the groups LOL NAH WE'RE SCREWED

ez for ENCE

Group 2 of death, LG and G2 thru, cya

I hope LG get through, but it doesn't look good :/

2016-06-13 02:37

LG in one point-time was known as the BO1 kings. Hope they haven't lost this name under their belt. RIP FAZE, and if fnatic is without olof, rip them aswell.

2016-06-13 02:47

Rip Fnatic even with olof,i doub't he will perform well after that much of a break.

2016-06-13 08:20

He had a break for 2 months, what do you mean? I'm pretty sure when olof comes back he'll prove he's still atleast top5.

2016-06-13 12:14

I doubt it. It'll be a miracle if G2 goes through if Fnatic's with olof. They'll only do this IMO if Shox and Scream turn up to play

2016-06-13 20:06

rip faze

lol nip always have the easiet group

3 is easier TBF. I think the 2 Danes advance from that but seriously NiP have it harder IMO

they shoke to much so u never know

2016-06-13 01:24

If Dig will play like they played against FaZe on mirage,they will not.

2016-06-13 08:21

Gambit will advance Astralis plays with Coach Dig plays inconsistent CLG plays with Coach What a Joke

2016-06-13 20:01

I mean vp and envyus are trash right now liquid is too but at least they have s1mple hiko and nitro that can go ham and just luck them a map victory.

11 replies

with Koosta the use of S1mple becomes a million times less.

Then fuck koosta tell him to get on the rifle dm's and give s1mple the awp.

but then why kick adreN.... liquid just all over the shop with roles management.

Well i think liquid is looking to the future after s1mple is done playing with him. If they have peacemaker calling then why even have adren because koosta is a better awper and adren is a shit rifler.

they're only using s1mple for this event I believe. So maybe I'm harsh but it still knocks their chances at this event.

I mean well see but i like the idea of a liquid that just totaly pug it and tell nitro s1mple and elige to just go ham and try to frag.

Liquid are meant to be using JDM for the major

No \__ounge for them.

2016-06-13 08:22

Oh really :)

2016-06-14 08:35

liquid will choke, ez group for virtus pro

2016-06-13 00:59

VP on LAN are for sure not trash!!

2016-06-13 01:06

WTF Group 2 :O

Group 2 , Group of death.

Good thing cloud9 didnt qualify

ez f3

I feel like Astralis could make it to Semis ocne again... I feel like - Fnatic will go out - but I have faith in FaZe

redraw groups pls group 1 3 and 2

i am ready for group B, favelas out of group you heard it first

Group 2 EleGiggle

GROUP B PogChamp

Sixteeeeen.

Group B is the reason that randomized groups need to stop

these are not randomized lol

2016-06-13 12:26

u wot? there are 4 pools but after that it's all random

2016-06-13 12:28

yea maybe, anyway the random fact is everywhere for every sports. You not gonna say "oh you suck so we put you with 2 good teams so they get out of the groups and not you, ok?"

2016-06-13 12:30

if you don't see the obvious problem with having 3 top 5 teams in the same group then don't even reply anymore

2016-06-13 12:32

faze and fnc ain't top 5. G2 is inconsistent

2016-06-13 12:36

you could've said that you're a troll at the start and saved us both some time

2016-06-13 12:37

OK, Faze top5 ? FNC we never see them playing and when they do they lose top5 ? nice b8

2016-06-13 12:39

so who're you putting in your top 5 above fnatic, huh? Astralis? Virtus.Premier? give a fucking break

2016-06-13 12:40

1LG 2NAVI 3NIP 4Astralis 5G2

2016-06-13 13:51

4. Astralis last place EPL Season 3 LAN finals while fnatic got to 3-4th place with wenton you're a funny dude

2016-06-13 14:00

THEY just rekt fnc 2:0 in ECS

2016-06-13 14:10

so you value online games more than LAN? lmaoo

2016-06-13 14:11

and that's like me saying fnatic just rekt NiP 2-0 so they're above NiP atm your logic is fucking retarded hltv.org/match/2302764-nip-fnatic-ecs-se..

2016-06-13 14:14

NiP and fnc are the same country and matches with team from same countries are very inconsistent as players know very well each others. Ast is better than fnc that's all

saying that a team which hasn't advanced from groups in 2 of their last 3 LAN events is better than a team which has never failed to advance from groups, leads head to head record 49 to 33 really tells how fucking retarded and delusional you're, good bye lol

2016-06-13 14:25

Good luck with the Pick 'em Challenge, boys.

haha

wtf group B

Rip groups 1 to 3 all in optic!

Rip optic

Group 2 wow

Group B is sooo fucked. Can G2 never fucking make it out of groups???

Sure they can. A) It's Bo1 B) They already beat LG in a bo1 C) They won vs fnatic @ ESL finals (Even if olof comes back, fnatic wont be as good as they was before he took time off" D) If shox & ScreaM have a couple of good days all other teams in that group will struggle against G2

2016-06-13 02:40

Ya but as they proved in the qualifiers and on eleague they will have off games. That and we all know their struggles in majors. Im just hoping they actually show up.

2016-06-13 04:18

TOP1, TOP4, TOP5 in same group? GG

top3 in the same group imo

2016-06-13 08:28

Group 1 LOL

Holy shit that Group B, now we have a good reason to say once again that G2 won't go through the group stage, once again, they always get the worst group u can have :(

What did you expect lol?they qualified through fucking qualifier and as last seed too.ofcourse they will have tough group.

Does nV has a tough group ? No, at least not as tough as G2 does.

2016-06-13 01:16

GROUP B WTF D: Xd

WTF's with Group 2???

Olof is back bois

group b is probably the most deadly group ever?

Yup I dont think any other group in cs history has been this stacked, basically 3/4 teams are in the top5 atm

2016-06-13 02:38

holy shit group b

Mouz, LG, Astralis, NiP

group 3 is a fucking joke...they should have mixed group 2 and 3...comeon stupid people fucking new bs system

OH SHIT, group A is the group of inconsistent teams, envy mouse VP and liquid

Dat group 2 fakkk

Group 1: mouse, VP Group 2: G2, FaZe Group 3: Astralis, Gambit Group 4: NiP, NaVi

Faze out of Groups lol you must be retarded

Replace FaZe with fnatic

fnatic worst team in that group (current form)

olof will be back and stronger than ever

You sure m8?

2016-06-13 01:26

replace G2 with LG

the most retarded group draw from any event in any sport iv ever seen.

LMFAO GROUP 2 HAHAHAHAHA

Your predictions for group1 ? I go with VP and EnVy.

Mouz & VP Liquid to crash out of the Major without a single round :>

2016-06-13 00:54

foxGOD will 35 bomb against fnatic

but olof will play, rip faze/g2/lg

You sure about that?

2016-06-13 01:23

not totally sure, but the twitch chat went nuts when messioso said that fnatic had 5 major winners in their line-up

2016-06-13 02:06

Yeah ik, but that is incorrect. Even if there is Olof is only 4. Dennis never won a major.

2016-06-13 02:07

He obviously meant also colonge 2016 which fnatic will win

2016-06-13 09:16

true

2016-06-13 09:43

Seriously Group 1 and Group 2 is just so horrible for the tournament tbh! While Luck In Pyjamas and Luckstralis have such easy groups beside NaVi!

The crazy thing is that clg, gambit or dig are guaranteed to be one of the legends.

That's just the most stupidest thing ever.....

disguisting while Group A and B will have good teams who won't reach the LEGENDARY SPOT! 5 T1 Teams who can qualify for totally 4 spots...

2016-06-13 01:09

Astralis ez group + Dignitas might have a chance in it. And also ez for Na´Vi uhh i love this. :D

Win loss ratio is stupid it benefits teams with less maps

That Group 2 is ridiculous... I mean how can Valve allow that kind of group?!

group 2 is the group of death

lmao russians have a very rare chance to realistically get in to Quarter-Finals

oh nip easy group again? XDD expected

again??

Ez for envy

A.VP envy B.luminosty fnatic C. lul not even gonna watch this trash D.nip navi

THE TITAN CURSE NotLikeThis NOT AGAIN NotLikeThis LET'S GO G2!!

lol liquid over nip and fnatic, what the....

They placed better in last major thats why Nt hunden

Group B fucking hell... Group A not bad either

Why are 3 top5 teams in the same group?

g2 aren't top 5, you could see it at this tournament. this ranking is just autistic.

OMG group B ez lg

Group A: 1st. Mouz 2nd. VP Group B: 1st. LG 2nd. Fnatic Group C: Whatever Group D: Whatever

A = Liquid and Mouz B = LG and Fnatic C = Astralis and Dignitas D = NaVi and NiP

Group 2 , holy moly :)))) A - VP , EnVyUs. B - LG , G2. C - Astralis , Dignitas. D - Na'Vi , NiP.

Group A:Virtus, mouz Group B: LG,G2 Group C:Astralis, Gambit Group D: NiP, NaVi

Lets go OpTic

I like it :D

Olof will make epic WWE-style intro with smokemachines and music and fnatic win major eZ

Like always

2016-06-13 00:58

And how do you know Olof is gona be playing?

2016-06-13 01:22

i doubt olof want to skip 500.000$ for first place

2016-06-13 08:25

2016-06-13 07:18

2nd group LMAO, all 4 teams can upset lol

Lmao, Astralis seriously have easiest group like always.

so they can choke after

Ez Legendary status for LANbit B|

man , its hard being faze fan these days, just one after another hardship. i think i can feel how extitan/g2 fans feel now

Yeah G2 / exTitan always have the worst group in major

2016-06-13 01:32

RIP PICKEM

LOL GROUP B

A&B tough groups C&D easy for favorites, interestingly NIP as always the simplest possible group...

ez group for virtus pro :)

lul i think ( yes its lan but ) Mouz > Liquid > VP > Envy

2016-06-16 19:15

no way that chokequid will beat vp xd

2016-06-16 19:23

( yes vp play better on lan ) but you see the last 30 games of VP ?? they lose vs Penta , SK ,Flipside , Dignitas ..... etc

2016-06-16 19:27

all matches online it doesnt matter really

2016-06-16 23:24

Group A: 1. VP on Lan 2. Mouz/Envy Group B: 1. LG 2. Fnatic/G2 if Shox goes in God mode Group C: 1. Astralis 2. Gambit hopefully Group D: 1. Navi 2. NIP Anything could happen is Group B, especially if the initial matches are BO1

Group B is the group of death

Perfect teams would have been -f3 +c9 -gambit +hr - clg +immortals -faze +tyloo

how they could be perfect if they lost qual? nice thinking

2016-06-13 01:03

- faze ?

2016-06-13 01:04

immortals lul

2016-06-13 02:20

Group b...

rip everyone's pick'em

srsly this drawing is El Risitas worthy IMO. Can someone make it ? =D

Group B HOLYY SHIT LMAO! Best group, best matches.

2016-06-13 01:02

Na'Vi ez major win

liquid first seed, hahahaha

Group A: nV, mouz Group B: FaZe, G2 Group C: Astralis, Dignitas Group D: Na'vi, NiP

VP mouz fnatic g2/lg astralis dignitas navi nip

Group B >> Group A >= Group D > Group C in terms of level. EDIT : group A a slightly bit harder than D but close.

2016-06-13 01:07

favelosity wont make it out of groups

group 1 unpredictable

Group 2 must be BO3.

Group B what the fuck gj valve fuck off

RIP faze, group 3 and 4 acutally shit, but group 2 got stacked? ayy lmao fuck you valve

WTF OpTic have been lucky :D It's possible that they could get out of that group, not probable tho. Group 3 would have been the dream scenario for OpTic.

GROUP 2 ROLF and group 3 is a joke

2016-06-13 01:18

ok if mouz doesnt make it out of groups this time there is no hope left for them

2016-06-13 01:19

+299

2016-06-13 01:21

i guess then teams like immortals, hr, cloud9, renegades & tyloo should deinstall cs right away since they didnt even make it out of the qualifier.

2016-06-13 01:49

thats not what im saying man what i mean is that mouz has been struggeling(?) to get out of groups even though they have ez groups of course they are still a good team but the goal of every team is to be amongst the top 3-5 and if they keep failing to get out of groups everytime that should be a sign

its a pretty onesided view if u see which "bigger and highly potential" teams not even qualify for the major, which mouz has successfully done as the first of all teams without struggles like other big teams like g2 have i disagree about them having ez groups in the past where they had some bad personal matchups couple of times (like flipside) and lost unlucky in deciding matches (faze) while winning earlier against a team like LG. so they surely had their bad matches, but its always pretty damn close and unlucky from time to time (maikelele won like 5 1onx situations on mirage i remember 1 time where they could have 2-0ed faze, who later one ended up in top 4).

2016-06-13 12:57

Vp,envy Lg,Faze Astralis,Gambit Navi,nip

You know its time to delete CSGO when Liquid is 1st seed.

All Teams in 2nd deserve Top 4 :D

2016-06-13 02:52

NV and VP/mouse probably LG and g2 Astralis and gambit Navi and nip/optic :)

2016-06-13 02:25

ESL's system is a joke Expect A - Mouz and nV/VP B - LG and Fnatic w/Olof or G2 C - Astralis and one of the remaining 3 D - Na'Vi and NiP

2016-06-13 02:59

i win

2016-06-13 03:01

Abother easy group for NIP! This must be a joke right?

2016-06-13 03:11

Group 2 alone would make a good set of semifinal teams...

2016-06-13 03:15

rip fnatic

2016-06-13 03:25

In LG, we trust. Go LG !

2016-06-13 03:31

2016-06-13 05:45

Those groups are absolute shit. ESL pisses the community off once again.

2016-06-13 05:48

Group A - VP mouz Group B - G2 LG Group C - Astralis dignitas Group D - Na'Vi NiP Champion - NiP because I'm NiP fangay ! ez

2016-06-13 06:07

group 2 is the group of armageddon

2016-06-13 06:22

group B...#FazeUp<3

It was so nice here without brazilian cancer during qualifier, almost like in old good times and now they are back with their loyal and friendly shit. I like LG team but their fans are total cancer

2016-06-13 06:34

Based on recent results: GroupA: VP MOUZ GroupB: LG shox2(Unless olofnatic is back to legendmode GroupC: Astralis Gambit GroupD: NaVi NiP

2016-06-13 06:50

Looking at these groups makes me kind of sad to see how much the CSGO professional scene has fallen off. Can hardly even say there are 4 good teams in the entire tournament.

2016-06-13 06:53

-dignitas -optic +tyloo +renegades the major would have had more viewers.... now nobody wants to see dansk chokers or NA CS plebs RIP Cologne Major, favelas will cheat their ass off and win this again...

2016-06-13 07:10

If by cheat you mean fuck up Olof's wrist again, then sure... You say NA CS plebs, but you would put Renegades in there? They are even worse than Optic. Optic is probably the best NA team around, plus they have a Spaniard in Mixwell, so they are only 80% NA (and we saw how well that worked for Liquid...). If you wanted a team that is actually decent, then Hellraisers would be a good option. They have a top 5 AWPer in the world in Oskar, and have acquired Bondik to give Oskar some help and not make Hellraisers the tier 2 Niko Show (even though it still is). Regardless, if those teams deserved to be in the major they would have beaten their opponents.

2016-06-14 00:23

didn`t even bother to read a word dude... why ? cuz we are talking about NA CS = pleb

2016-06-14 07:18

Astralis play without kjarbe. So ez gambit :S

2016-06-13 07:19

Group B lol

2016-06-13 07:59

Group 3 is by far the weakest! Group1 will be interessting! mouz,VP,NV wont have much time to prepare for the major, they all have to travel to USA and play ELEAGUE! maybe liquid can do something with simple and watching watching their upcomming opponents matches

2016-06-13 08:05

1 mouz liquid 2 fnatic g2 3 Astralis digni 4 na'vi nip

2016-06-13 08:12

Hey guys! Can you tell me when will be the ESL ONE COLOGNE? The Major? The 1 000 000 $ Major? And if there will be any drops during the Major?

2016-06-13 08:13

July 5-10 and yes But fk u and the other 100k+ people that only watch for the drops and not for CS

2016-06-13 08:40

Used to be "oh cool I got a drop while I was watching that match!" Now it's "WTF valve, I had 5 accounts watching every game and only got 3 cases! So dumb!"

2016-06-13 10:04

+1 all I see in hltv threads is "7 majors 0 drops"

2016-06-13 10:10

Group B xDxDxD

2016-06-13 08:15

VP AND FUCKING ENVYUS IN SAME GROUP HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN AT ALL EVENTS? NIP getting cakewalk group again. Its so fucking unfair that 1 out of gambit/dignitas/CLG is going to be a legend for next major. Bullshit groups.

2016-06-13 08:33

2016-06-13 09:46

2016-06-13 09:50

The most unbalanced groups i've ever seen. Group A and B are full of sharks while Cand D suck fat dick. It just doesn't make any sense

2016-06-13 09:52

hehehe +1

2016-06-13 10:20

2016-06-13 10:52

Gambit nice group ;)

this is more rigged than the NBA draft

2016-06-13 10:58

2016-06-13 11:05

Stopped reading at Liquid and EnvyUs

2016-06-13 11:45

Okay, let's see

2016-06-13 11:46

How is Liquid a 1st seed and fnatic a 2nd?

2016-06-13 11:06

first four seeds get the teams who placed 1-4 at the last major, second four seeds get the ones who placed 4-8 and so on... last major was won by luminosity if im not mistaken vs navi, and the teams who were at semis get the rest 2 seeds (astralis and liquid). Fnatic were out at quarters i think and thats why they get second seed. hope you get it now

2016-06-13 11:23

Ah allright, thanks!

2016-06-13 12:41

Groups a bit imbalanced, 1 & 2 killer groups :-D

nip always lucky, mouz and g2 always unlucky.fuck this

2016-06-13 11:18

G2 isn't unlucky, maybe they can start performing on majors so they can get better seed group :)

2016-06-13 11:50

they havent been at major as this lineup, sadly they will not get out of groups this time either

but FAZE qualified with 3/0 and get the worst group

2016-06-13 16:34

When was the fucking last time that NiP has gotten actually challenging group stage? What the actual fuck event hosts? Meanwhile we have group 2 like this? What kind of meth are you smoking?

G2 always getting the hardest group. Sucks dick to be always on seeding 4 xD RiP on group stage again.

2016-06-13 18:36

People also got to keep in mind that Astralis are using gla1ve. Imagine them not even making it out of groups..

2016-06-13 18:37

A and B stacked as fuck, C trash as usual, D decent. 1 sub par team will be legend @ group C rofl

Omfg Group 2 !

You can vote the winners here: docs.google.com/forms/d/1OybSLeccOshx18Y..

2016-06-13 18:50

LG, fnatic, FaZe and G2 if they're not in same group, could be easily the top 4 this major.

2016-06-13 18:57

ggbb envyus, liquid, fnatic, faze

2016-06-13 19:27

Group A - Liquid / mouz Group B - LG / fnc Group C - Astralis / Gambit Group D - NiP / Navi

As Fer already said: any team who is in the top 10 can beat each other.

2016-06-13 20:46

Oh damn.. Group B is group of death.. On another note, here are my group predictions guys! A - Mouz B - LG (Perhaps G2, they have proven themselvs to be strong enough to beat the better teams) C - Astralis (Gambit also viable) D - Na'Vi

2016-06-13 22:08

Olof is back sorry rip LG

2016-06-13 22:34

I'd still take LG over fnatic any day. I do think LG is the best team in the world at the moment and I do think that LG will manage to beat fnatic almost with ease, even with olofmeister.

2016-06-14 15:18

2016-06-13 23:12

2016-06-13 23:36

I know this isn't really the place for it, by why the fuck is Liquid still ranked 10th? they couldn't win 1 map in a BO7 against any of the teams ranked 11-20 except maybe SK.

2016-06-14 00:28

Most stacked groups ever and we still have BO1s

2016-06-14 01:22

NiP easy group as always

2016-06-14 12:59

Nip and astralis always with the easy groups o_o damn

2016-06-14 16:14

Group C is a joke

2016-06-14 21:55

Group B makes me sad. Those games were meant to be finals or semifinals at the very least.

2016-06-15 03:59

Group B so hard. Top1 Top2 in the world in the same group.... Also 2 other strong teams

2016-06-15 08:55

This major is going to be a wakeup call for Valve to alter their group stage formats. It's going to be such a joke when one of the top 5 teams is out just because of the shitty draw.

2016-06-16 08:44

rip adreN

look at the bright side, Gambit cant knock out NV in groups :^)

2016-06-17 12:27
