mTw, roccat and e

The three teams receiving a berth to the ESWC Grand Finals have been found as MYM fail to advance from the group stage.

Going into the quarter-finals, five out of the eight teams already hold a spot in the ESWC Grand Finals, meaning remaining three teams will automatically receive a berth. mTw, e-STRO and roccat have now secured a qualification spot as MYM failed to advance. The reason why MYM did not advance is that Alternate beat MYM and that overrules the positive round count (we know it says MYM advance in our group stage coverage).

This means the three teams completed one of their two goals at ESWC Masters, will one of them manage to complete their second and win the event?

The quarter-finals will be played single elimination best of one map format. To many a ridiculous call by ESWC, in an interview one of the organizers stated that they wanted more variation of the games on stage.

Quarter-finals – 19:00 CET

mousesports vs. e-STRO
SK Gaming vs. fnatic
mTw vs. Alternate
roccat vs. emuLate

The match between mousesports and e-STRO will be a ”rematch” of the final at Extreme Masters II. Last time mousesports pulled out victorious, is it e-STRO’s time?

Over and over again. SK Gaming and fnatic continue to face each other in the playoffs. Latest meeting was in the Swedish ESWC final and afterwards in the first playoff-round at WGT DreamHack. Both times SK Gaming came out victorious and feel free to bet your parents house that fnatic want this win.

mTw is up against Alternate. The two faced each other at Samsung European Championship, where mTw changed hpx with whiMp. mTw was going strong but totally lost it towards the end, will it once again be de_nuke and will mTw have a shot at advancing one step further into the playoffs, if so, their big-time rivals from emuLate could be waiting. emuLate will face the new arising team roccat. Possible being a stage match, emuLate will have the home-audience to hold their back all the way.
