'Champions Rumble' and Gold Series preview

This weekend will finish the first round of the Gold Series, and very soon the teams will play again with each other to determine the final positions and take their lan-final’s slots.

By the way, this time the best teams will receive not only respect and honor, but also slots for the ‘Rumble’ in Moscow - a tournament where 12 best teams from over the world will fight for $300,000. The event will be held from 13 to 17 December. As soon as the playoffs are completed, the remaining two teams will get to set the main stage ablaze at WG Fest on 23 December.

• Three slots for the European runners up, three slots for the CIS superstars, and two for the North American, Asian and Chinese challengers. One battle to rule them all and to bind them in Moscow.

This time again, no open qualifiers, and even a strange allocation of slots for Asia-China, because all teams of the Celestial Empire are already fighting in Asian Gold Series.

Well, a few words about the upcoming Friday matches.

20:00 MSK: Not So Serious (1.14) vs IMPACT Gaming (4.90)

Rush has defeated the Tornado Energy Team and proves everyone that they would fight for a ticket to the LAN stage. It is news that causes the current four leaders to get points where possible. Everything is fine for Not So Serious, but they remember that in the next round they will again meet with all the favorites. IMPACT Gaming fells relatively good on the sixth position, and there is not enough motivation for the guys; they are already far from the relegation zone, and it’s hardly possible to overtake Rush in the race for the slot to the LAN stage. I think that the match will end with a quick and confident victory of Not So Serious.

21:30 MSK: Rostselmash (1.72) vs Unique (2.00)

And here come more interesting things. Teams occupy the fourth and second positions in the standings, and the ‘tractor drivers’ are approached by the Rush, which can not be ignored. ‘Unique’ divides the first line with Tornado Energy Team and they need to win again and again not to leave the TOP-4 in the last rounds of the season. The battle will be equal, and it is very difficult to predict the winner. I would not recommend to bet on this match, but I think that Rostselmash will be stronger, which will outplay opponents with the help of experience and more responsible preparation for the match.
