Who will win ESL One Katowice 2015?
I'm not a fan of "official" MM games or big teams so I don't know who's better or not (actually don't know at all!) so googled it and choose this for first day matches (12th march):
Group A - Natus Vincere and Fnatic
Group B - EnVyUs and Titan
Group C - Ninjas in Pyjamas and Counter Logic Gaming
Group D - Virtus.Pro and TSM Kinguin
as i said those are results from a google search because i have no knowledge of this topic and this were the one that most people voted for, except for Counter Logic Gaming and TSM Kinguin where a lot of people chosen HellRaisers and Cloud9 (G2A? I always thought that the team name was only cloud9), this games i will watch just like last year (free cases :P) when Cloud9 really surprised me there with that comeback against NIP (i think), so this year i will bet on the new teams and hope i did the right decisions :3

I havent seen many games of Vox Eminor, Keyd and CLG (because of the timezones). So I'm gonna watch their first match for sure.
And I also keep an eye on the games I bet on ofcourse.
G2A and Kinguin are teamsponsors, I think they need to do that because of a contract. Cloud9 and TSM is the team name.

Do you have to watch it through CS:GO client or you can watch it on Twitch and still be able to get drops? (As long as your account is linked of course)

They are selling physical pins at the event. Each person is only allowed to purchase a certain amount. With the physical pin there is a code that can be entered in Steam to give the in-game version as well.

Rationed goods. No point taking a big bag to the event then :)

Is it the first time the're doing something like that?

There's always something but its the first time they are giving these pins

Okay, one more question. How long does a match take, so I can at least see something if I decide to pay a visit to the event.

BO 1 max 1.5 hours (3 minutes each round), but probably around 40 minutes - 1 hour. And then theres the possibility of overtime if it ends 15-15.
BO3, BO1 x 3 ;)

Lol, cobblestone as the very first map Titan vs EnVyUs.
Good luck....

I've predicted both to pass the group stage, but I'm hoping Titan win simply because I don't like Envy lol

Penta looked really weak and LGB seems to be no match for Titan.
But Titan choked and kennys played bad, who knows what will happen ;)

Lol, my predictions are at suckage level. Still a little in plus though, small bets on the lost ones, big on the ones I won. I seem to always pick the wrong ones when betting on an underdog.

Guys, do we get drops by watching it on twitch instead of in game ?
Comment has been collapsed.
for today (13th) I will vote for Fnatic, EnVyUs, Virtus.Pro and NIP
honestly i'm not so sure about Team EnVyUs, any opinions? :s
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm voting the same. I think EnvyUs are the weakest out of that group, based on their performance so far.

i'm voting for me and a friend and i'm trying to get gold in both accounts so i'm scared to fuck up xD
Comment has been collapsed.
Getting gold is tough. Especially when teams like Keydstars win :/
I can only afford to make one more mistake if I want gold.

16 euros for two, so 8 each? during cologne one 2014, i sold one cache case for 13 euros
Comment has been collapsed.
i'm not sure about the prices now but i traded the overpass case for almost 15€ in skins and sold the cache case on market for 6.5€

Looks busy! That LoL arena kind of wipes the floor of the CSGO one though.
