Damit ist das Teilnehmerfeld für die ESL One Cologne 2018 komplett. Für die Finnen ist es die erste Qualifikation, seit die Organisation im April wieder ein Lineup verpflichtet hat.
Teilnehmerfeld ESL One Cologne 2018
Trotzdem wurde das Event von zwei Problemen überschattet. So sollen die Teams während der Matches die russischen Kommentatoren gehört haben. Dies wäre ein klarer Vorteil für das russische Team gewesen.
Lost to @Team__Spirit 0-2 but we’ve got another chance against @ence tomorrow. Sadly I don’t understand Russian because you could here the casters the whole game but I don’t want to cry we also played really bad. 😅😢 GGWP we will bounce back tomorrow 💪🏻

Yeah, its not great for integrity no matter what.

With the coaching headset all I hear is the Russian casters, barely my team communicate. Maybe I should get the English cast blasted to my ears to make it even? 🤔 https://t.co/PdJIrNZaPS
Zudem soll ein Zuschauer Schilder mit A oder B hochgehalten haben, was aber sofort unterbunden worden wäre.
The https://t.co/yqzuf1ymZD Majestic is right now taking place in Moscow and offers a slot for the ESL One Cologne.

A guy in the crowd is holding up a sign with "A" or "B" towards the players.
Apparently, an admin is sitting by his side.@ATNattax lost by the way. pic.twitter.com/gtemUho9Lc
Dennoch brach Joona 'natu' Leppänen nach dem Event noch eine Lanze für den Veranstalter.
Just wanted to thank UCC/GG.bet Majestic crew for their hospitality this week. The accusations thrown around about the conditions got out of proportion imo. Our requests were met without issues through the event

In den vergangenen Monaten habe der Turnierveranstalter UCC Qualifier-Spots von anderen Veranstaltern gekauft und das Branding dieser an Gambling-Seiten wie GG.Bet oder Farmskins verkauft, so PGL-CEO Silviu Stroie.
ROFL, that's just ridiculous!

BTW, is there an official announcement anywhere of ESL partnering with these tournaments to give them a direct slot at their big events? (it was already the case for Katowice and Sydney afaik, with those Origins or whatever tournaments) https://t.co/5EGgsDEbtB
Correct. Its UCC, they contacted us with a very weird proposal - to BUY slots at international events. Everything they do its based on gambling.

Its not "giving" a slot. UCC is buying these slots . They asked everyone whos running events.
