24-10-2017 13:00

The draw for the group stage of the Europe Minor Championship has taken place, with the eight participating teams having been placed into two groups, HLTV.org has learned.

Envy, the highest-ranked team in attendance, will be confident of advancing to the playoff stage after being paired with AGO, GODSENT and ex-Outlaws.

Group B is headlined by Space Soldiers and the new OpTic team, with PRIDE and eXtatus rounding out the group.

EnVyUs will face ex-Outlaws in the first match

The Europe Minor Championship will take place from November 2-5 at the PGL Studios, in Bucharest. Aside from the $50,000 prize purse, two spots at the Main Qualifier for ELEAGUE Major: Boston will be up for grabs in the tournament, which will feature a double-elimination format in both the group stage and in the playoffs.

Below you can find the group draw in full:

Group A	Group B
Envy	Space Soldiers
AGO	OpTic
GODSENT	PRIDE
ex-Outlaws	eXtatus

The opening matchups for the Europe Minor look as follows:

Day 1

I thought optic and SS will be in different groups because both of them did 3-0

2017-10-24 13:17

One would think so, but organizers want EnVy to get into qualifiers because they have a large fan base. EnVy would not win against SS or Optic

2017-10-24 13:21

nV out of groups, calling it

2017-10-24 13:49

They took other factors into consideration, not just the qualifier results.

2017-10-24 13:51

But shouldn't the teams with 3-0 in the qual be seperated?? Ss and optic both had 3-0 so y r they in the same group? Holy cow who is organising this tournament is an absolute uneducated guy about cs who made more mistakes than ever made...

2017-10-24 13:18

+how do they both have two low seeds when the 3 last teams that qualified all had 3-2? And the mid-teams had 3-1 (envy ago ex-outlaws) so again, how can u differenciate 2 teams from one if all of them had the same score?

2017-10-24 13:19

It doesnt seem like it. Both SS and optic are high seeded, they advanced with 3:0 and they are in same group.

28 replies

where is NIP?

27 replies

Well nip and heroic is not here. Instead we have extatus and pride, 2 exellent teams with a big chanse of winning this entire thing! Dont you just love when a fluke happens and 2 spots are wasted on teams that have absoulutly no chanse of progressing? :D

26 replies

NIP FANS STILL SALTY LMAO

25 replies

Well its not ony that im disappointed that nip and heroic is not here. Its more about having extatus and pride here makes this whole qualifier into a joke. You know kind of like when you see vp getting invited to a tournament directly when they wouldnt be able to get past the open qualifier otherwise.

24 replies

why nip lost to Pride, team5 (LOL JOKE) couse they are just bad . cant even qualify minor LMAO

2017-10-24 13:32

22 replies

Yes you are right, it was not a fluke at all. If they play 10 times pride will win 10-0. Btw that is sarcasm you idiot.

2017-10-24 13:35

21 replies

Whatever, NIP still lost. Deal with it.

2017-10-24 13:58

Im okey with it. Pretty used to nip disappointing me. But this qualifier became 100 times less intressting now. We already know optic is winning that awsome group. They can just fast foward the matches.

2017-10-24 14:05

I don't think it is gonna be so ez for optic. Yeah they are experienced playerwise but they are a new team and doesn't have much practice as other teams in the group. they probably gonna win all matches but i am pretty sure all matches gonna be close maybe upsets

2017-10-25 15:12

this is so much fun to trigger swe + nip fan

2017-10-24 14:00

I dont get triggered by you. I can tell you what is fun though. Playing cs with turks, my best cs experience ever! That was also sarcasm, they are actually worse then russians :)

2017-10-24 14:07

2017-10-24 14:52

Yeah just unlucky loss against pride.. same with flipside.. oh and vega.. oh and red reserve and fucking japaleno

2017-10-24 14:12

14 replies

Ehm what are you talking about? :S Only time they played japaleno they won? And last time they played red reserve they won 3 straight games 16-3, 16-2, 16-10? Match agains vega i had to go back 1 year to find. And flipside over 1 year ago and they won 2-0. So are you retarded or retarded?

2017-10-24 14:22

Pride deserve minor spot and u are a fucking retarded kid.

2017-10-24 14:30

HAHA good one! Just because they are from your country and you cheer for them doesnt mean they deserve it. I would not say japaleno deserve a spot just because they are Swedish.

2017-10-24 14:32

Pride won 3 games NiP lost 3 games. What does it mean? Read fucking rules u stupid monkey Every team that won 3 games deserve spot. U can't get spot for old achievements. Typical retarded salty swedish.

2017-10-24 14:35

U can't get spot for old achievements, HAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAH cough'vp'cough.

2017-10-24 14:39

being invited and playing in qualifications are two other things u stupid monkey

2017-10-24 14:40

You shot yourself in the foot and i cant take you seriously anymore. U can't get spot for old achievements......................... vp.

2017-10-24 14:43

What an idiot. But what can I expect from swedish? xD

2017-10-24 14:49

pollack

2017-10-24 15:09

I can tell you what we expect from pollacks here in sweden. They are treated like dogs, they do shit work for 90% less the cost of what we pay other people. We have a saying, "that is pollack work". It means something is done shitty and cheap.

2017-10-24 15:07

So im having a hard time taking you seriously when your father is probably down in my basement sweeping rat shit for bread crumbs.

For exemple I am a fan of Kinguin. I would never say they deserve spot because they won only 1 game. Rules say u have to win 3 games to get spot for minor. Is it hard to understand for swedish faggots? I know u are not the smartest people

Oh im sorry they lost to fucking TEAM5 while HOMESENT 16-0d them

2017-10-24 14:38

Sorry you can come back from your failure. You mention 4 teams and they beat 3 of them, and the loss was over a year ago.

2017-10-24 14:41

nip didnt deserve it thats why they are not here .. the best thing about major is anyteam can participate ..

2017-10-27 11:58

Does anyone know if OpTic are back in EU for this qualifier? EDIT: didn't read properly, it's being held on LAN. nvm

Rofl bro

Bunch of teams have a chance, nV, Optic, SS, Godsent, AGO..

Gl Xantares and co

Ez for AGO. They can get through to playoffs.

ez4AGO

Ago and eXtatus to Major confirmed

Ha. Would be great to see both of them at major... i have crossed fingers for Happy' team aswell... Fun fact is they all would quali from any other region...

2017-10-24 14:19

I hope to see more new teams rather than older teams :/ Im not really that big of nV fan but i think i should cheer for everyone cuz u never know what happens in CS :D

2017-10-24 14:21

#GOSS #RUNSS #SpaceSoldiersForWin!

2017-10-24 13:28

OPTIC & ENVY to major qualifier RIP EXTATUS

NV and Optic

SS and OptiC

2017-10-24 13:34

As a Pole i am feeling happy for AGO as they have easiest group there can be and i already dig up grave for pride as they got the worst setup :D what a world :D

who is better, AGO or PRIDE?

2017-10-24 13:37

AGO, thye are top1 in PL now They play VP today, check that game They have crazy teamplay, sth like vp in 2014/15 Pride is skillwise good, but thye are incosnistent due to loose playstile

2017-10-24 13:39

Thank you for the info my friend! Much appreciate it

2017-10-24 13:41

are u on drugs mate Group A is much stacked than B

2017-10-24 14:25

reason you think a is STACKED 1. you think ex outlaws are worth sth becasue its your team 2. you think Envious are worth sth as you know the name 3. You think Godsent are worht sht as, for fuck sake the is no reason... i just base my judgement on results

2017-10-24 14:28

1. Outlaws are the obvious outsiders but they could upset any team there tbh and no, its not because im bulgarian. 2. Yes. 3. Godsent are shit but compared to online kebabs not lan proven exatus and Pride they are worth way more, no?

1. if they are the outsiders they are not considered a part of STACKED 2. they play like shit lately and can be considered as STACKED 3. wont nothing, qualified for nothing ( escept this) so not STACKED group b Optic and SS easy 3:0 in qualifeir, SS won Global challenge Extatus considered by HLTV as new hope for cs pride 4th polish team, worst of them

optic > nV spacesoldiers > ex-outlaws pride > godsent extasus = ago

2017-10-24 15:56

SS and Optic will go offline qualifier. #gospacesgo

2017-10-24 13:38

optic maybe from 2nd place, eXtatus first ;)

2017-10-24 16:14

please don't act like emotional bro :)

2017-10-24 16:16

just having a fun - anyway, good luck to SS, they'll need it

2017-10-24 16:19

thank you mate, good luck too eXtatus. who plays good, win those matches without any loss

2017-10-24 16:46

yeah, SS have been lucky so far, I hope they've got good strats for a consolidation match :D

2017-10-24 17:22

We are better than the eXtatus but it changes on live. Hope to see SS in Major tournament this time. We'll see :)

2017-10-24 17:40

ok - but it's between ss and optic as I see it :)

2017-10-24 18:00

NV is the strongest opponent than the optic i think. :)

2017-10-25 10:13

2017-10-24 14:24

2017-10-24 14:27

ya they got fucked =(

They made last time to the major qualifier from the online faceit and it was for nothing??? Envyus is fkim nobs they didnt do shit and still managed to go for minor

2017-10-24 14:29

2017-10-24 23:37
