EMS One Spring Cup #4

The final cup of the EMS One Spring starts today and will determine which teams will advance to the group stage. Also, the four American teams have been determined as well.

Match-ups to look out for:

Adversa eSports can eliminate a direct rival for one of the spots by defeating dd.Dota in the second round.

4FC and TCM-Gaming have it tough. If they do make it to round 2, they will face off against mousesports and fnatic. While this match means almost nothing to TCM in terms of advancing, 4FC needs those points to make it through.

RoX.KIS and Empire could meet each other in round 2 as well, both of them having undergone some roster changes in the past week, but both still promising in their performances.

The top 12 teams will advance to the group stages.

With Re-Defining Madness having disbanded, the 12th place is currently a tie between Adversa eSports and TCM-Gaming, although prominent teams like RoX.KIS and 4FC are right behind them.

Every team beyond the 100 points mark is secured a spot in the group stages. Kaipi is close, but a poor performance on their part and strong performances from others could still eliminate them.

Mousesports, dd.Dota and Absolute Legends are safe as soon as they reach the quarter finals, in some cases even reaching the round of 16 will suffice.

RoX.KIS and 4FC should aim towards at least the semi-finals to secure themselves a spot for the top 12.

Joining the top 12 teams of the European cups will be the top four teams of the North-American A-Series. Eosin+4, fnatic.na, Team Liquid and Infinity Gaming Black have secured the four spots for the group stages. While Team Liquid has shown outstanding performances over the past week, the other three teams have barely been exposed in bigger tournaments, despite showing promising performances. Especially fnatic.na will be in the spotlight, after having been reformed just weeks ago.

While Team Dignitas chose not to participate at all, Evil Genuises have, according to joinDota, neglected a notice from the admins to attend further games, which would have been neccessary to advance into the group stages.
