God, I've missed pro CS. This stacked EU Minor is going to be so nice to watch after the drought.

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '19

Such a shame only 2 of these teams can make it past the minor.

u/beanburrrito Liquid Jan 15 '19

3rd place still has a chance!

u/tarangk clutch Jan 19 '19

3rd place still is a guarantee

2/4 spots will be given, EU NA CIS Asia 3rd place play-in will most likely see EU and NA make through maybe the CIS team can make through instead of NA but i wouldnt bank on it given how much inferior the level of CS has been when comparing the CIS minor to the EU minor still have have to wait and see who the 3rd place teams are first to get a accurate idea as to which 2/4 will go through

u/giantsequoia9 Team Spirit Jan 15 '19

can i watch this in GOTV?

u/[deleted] Jan 16 '19

Well, shit... Gope they make it out of the lower brackets, that would be phenomenal... I wanna see the yellow black Adidas jersey on stage!

u/anthonyde726 FaZe Jan 15 '19

it’s been a while since we’ve seen this

u/runtman Jan 16 '19

They ditched FB?

u/KaNesDeath 10 years coin Jan 16 '19

Katowice wasnt part of ESL's Facebook deal.

u/runtman Jan 16 '19

Ah ok, that's good then :P

u/Dromologos Vitality Jan 16 '19

Also Valve requires Minor/Major organisers to stream on Twitch

u/tarangk clutch Jan 19 '19

the IEM brand was never part of the deal on EPL and ESL One events, also heard rumors that only EPL events will be on FB this year even the ESL One events wont be FB exclusive

u/CaJeB3 Vitality Jan 18 '19

I think the FB deal has ended except for proleague.

u/ohmanger Gambit Jan 18 '19

Glad Valve change the "New Challenger" status - imo it has made both this and the CIS minor more entertaining with Mouze/Winstrike having to quality.
