It might have started rather slow for Captain Peter “stanislaw” Jarguz and his boys, as the Group Stage was a back-and-forth ordeal of a victory in the opening match, then a loss in the Winner’s match, followed by a close but sealed Decider match victory to continue to the Playoffs.
In yesterday’s playoffs opening match the team faced all-Polish Walczaki in a best-of-three series, but Liam “MaiL09” Tügel with a 1.76 rating, closely followed by stanislaw with 1.59, made sure it was a quick and easy 2-0 sweep on Inferno and Anubis.
Head Coach Vincent “vinS” Jozefiak is happy with the victory, as the team rests today before the quarterfinals tomorrow. “This one is personal for me, I really want to go to Warsaw” the Pole said on Twitter. As the team now only have two more matches to win in order to qualify for the $100,000 LAN event in Poland, the 27-year-old will be doing his best to lead his men to his home country.
