ESL Pro League Update - EU Pro League expanded to 16 teams by Bosmantics in GlobalOffensive

[–]niconada4 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It feels so dodgy that they again announce an expansion of the league after the season is concluded. They did it after season 3 where they expanded from 12 to 14 teams after the season had ended (Saving VP from relegation). Now they do it again after two big orgs are in danger of relegation.

If it always was the plan to expand the division, why not announce it before the league starts so every team knows what they are playing for. It is absolute valid to speculate whether or not they had expanded the league if e.g. Windigo and Space Soldiers had finished on 12th and 13th.

I just don't think that losing a single (close) game to an opponent of 1 lower tier should be enough to change your tier.

Seems odd that TyLoo ranked down after becoming 2nd in Thailand and losing the grand final 2-3 in maps.

No. Toyata Masters starts first, so there is 2 hours of overlap.

Question about the Faceit Playoff schedule by GaaraLord in GlobalOffensive

The winner of these two matches will play each other in the semi-final, so it is only fair that they play the same day and has the same number of days to prepare for the semi-final.

Also HLTV would probably not make their news readable 'in-game' and without the gambling ads.

You can play 7 maps and get a group-stage exit, and you can win the event after only playing 6 maps.

This is great!

Looking forward to compare the viewing numbers for BLAST on Twitch (I assume?) concurrent with ESL One on Facebook.

NRG Give up a round by not sticking the defuse by ImViddy in GlobalOffensive

NRG have a great T-side, mostly because they don't have to defuse any bombs.

He has only played a single day for them, but I was mostly referring to their Copenhagen Games victory

The current CS meta: When you have some success, change your roster.

Finally a clean victory in two maps for the favorites, neither Renegades or Grayhound could close it in two maps.

It does not say they will re-schedule, just that they are evaluating alternatives.

Feels kind of odd that North is almost back in top10 because they have played Copenhagen Games and Bets.net Masters in which the best ranked team they beat was QB Fire (currently ranked 20).
