														<div class="articlePageContent"><h3><span class="team widget teamListitem"><a href="/cs/team/27089/eparadise-angels"><img class="teamLogo" src="https://static.fragbite.com/teams/logos/default/27089.png" alt="Eparadise Angels"><b>Eparadise Angels</b></a></span></h3><span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/27089/eparadise-angels"><b>Eparadise Angels</b></a></span> was a team full of up and down performances. They reached their peak when they were able to finish top four at ESU Master 2017, but they never were able to come even close to beating te top tier teams on LAN.<br />  <br />  They were often beating themselves, making small mistakes which had a huge impact on their games. Not even qualifying for the Intel Challenge 2018 was already a huge step backward for them and the pressure was high to perform but, even though they added <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/658/missa">Meyssa <b>"Missa"</b> Bellouati</a></span> in place of <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/1545/zon1q">Kristina <b>"zon1Q"</b> Stevanović</a></span>, this is a team who always had a lot of problems which consistently showed and kept them far away from being a top contender.<br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="https://static.fragbite.com/stock/f895457ae20ffe68e846.jpg" alt="Marion "mar1on" lopez showed that she's not stuck in old habits." /><figcaption>Marion "Mar1on" Lopez showed that she's not stuck in old habits.</figcaption></figure><br />  Copenhagen Games showed a completely reworked gameplay for this team. Their in-game leader <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/611/mar1on">Marion <b>"Mar1on"</b> Lopez</a></span> seemed to have updated the entire game of the team, which was previously really tactically focused and slow, it now seemed to be way more dynamic and the communication side showed a lot of improvement as well. With all the improved leading this team showed up and it felt like the whole team's confidence had risen to new heights and their star player <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/1548/ana">Ana <b>"ANa"</b> Dumbravă</a></span> performed especially well.<br />  <br />  Eparadise really showed the huge progress they have been making when they faced <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/26306/alpha-republic-of-esport-female"><b>Alpha Republic of Esport Female</b></a></span> and <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/26757/res-gaming"><b>RES Gaming</b></a></span>. If you take a look at the head to head prior to the event Eparadise have never been able to even get to double digits against these two teams on LAN, not standing a chance at all.<br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="https://static.fragbite.com/stock/fe2b1335c0557097e2cc.jpg" alt="Ana "ana" dumbravă kept on the good work." /><figcaption>Ana "ANa" Dumbravă kept on the good work.</figcaption></figure><br />  Eparadise was able to beat ARES 2-0 in two close maps and afterward had to face RES. In a close series, they were able to take Train after a dominant half as terrorists. On Inferno the pressure was really on them but they put up a strong fight and it was back and forth. When the game came close to the end it showed that the gameplay wasn't perfect yet, as their game got more uncoordinated again and RES abused this to tie maps. The last map was a complete stomp by RES Gaming after the confidence and focus they gained thanks to the win on Inferno.<br />  <br />  Overall Eparadise Angels game still has to face smaller adjustments and improvements but how they step up their game in order to be able to compete with RES and ARES is immense and they now really have to be feared by every single team in the competition as they now don't only play for a high placement. This team plays to reach first place.<br />  <hr><h3><span class="team widget teamListitem"><a href="/cs/team/24985/counter-logic-gaming-red"><img class="teamLogo" src="https://static.fragbite.com/teams/logos/default/24985.png" alt="Counter Logic Gaming Red"><b>Counter Logic Gaming Red</b></a></span></h3><span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/24985/counter-logic-gaming-red"><b>Counter Logic Gaming Red</b></a></span> as an organization haven't been able to show up since Intel Challenge 2017 with their top four placement. Overall the roster seemed to be on a downward spiral. They brought promising talent into the lineup with <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/2892/emy">Emma <b>"Emy"</b> Choe</a></span> and <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/2891/refinnej">Jennifer <b>"refinneJ"</b> Le</a></span> but couldn't contest at ESU Masters 2017.<br />  <br />  A long break of female tournaments, as ESWC didn't host a tournament last year, gave them time to train, but RES Gaming picked up <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/143/potter">Christine <b>"potter"</b> Chi</a></span>, however  just three weeks before the North American WESG qualifier started she left them to find a new player. <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/1569/promise9k">Lily <b>"ProMise9k"</b> Chen</a></span> was the player they decided to replace Chi with. She was able to prove herself on LAN events during 2017 under <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/24691/silhouette"><b>silhouette</b></a></span> so she already had experience in the scene. Picking her up also restructured the whole team with <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/144/di">Diane <b>"di^"</b> Tran</a></span> becoming the main AWPer and <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/145/benita">Benita <b>"bENITA"</b> Novshadian</a></span> taking over the leadership.<br />  <br />  Not qualifying for WESG after losing out to the Canadian mix of <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/609/goosebreeder">Mounira <b>"GooseBreeder"</b> Dobie</a></span> was a big hit but without a lot of preparation, this still was a respectable second place finish. Intel Challenge 2018 was the tournament in which they had to at least show a life sign but a last-place finish didn't give much hope for this roster.<br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="https://static.fragbite.com/stock/1afd399a9b866e072f3c.jpg" alt="Emma "emy" choe seemed to have found her place in the team." /><figcaption>Emma "Emy" Choe seemed to have found her place in the team.</figcaption></figure><br />  It was uncertain if they actually would be sent to Copenhagen Games following the public participant's list but they signed up late to still book their tickets. They had a tricky group including <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/27092/tyloo-female"><b>Tyloo Female</b></a></span> whose core had just finished second at the WESG World Finals 2017 and seemed to have a huge uptrend but were able to beat them to get to first place, but that was in close fashion, playing all three maps in the best-of-three series.<br />  <br />  <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/27090/lgb-esports-female"><b>LGB Esports Female</b></a></span> was their first opponent in the playoffs. A close victory on Cache, the best map of LGB, already made them look like the winners and they confirmed it by sweeping them on Train. After <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/24984/team-dignitas-female"><b>Team Dignitas Female</b></a></span> won Intel Challenge Katowice and CLG Red ended up last-place the later were the clear underdogs going into this match. The Quarterfinals were the real deal as they were able to face their North American rival.<br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="https://static.fragbite.com/stock/2aa4b9d8c343e5587bfc.jpg" alt="Diane "di^" tran was a beast throughout the whole tournament." /><figcaption>Diane "di^" Tran was a beast throughout the whole tournament.</figcaption></figure><br />  It was shocking to see how they walked over them only allowing Dignitas to pick up 10 rounds in total on two maps, but CLG Red finally was able to show a sign of life, to say the least. At this point, they made themselves one of the favorites of the tournament. A lot of credit has to go to Tran, who was a rock, only dying 12 times over the two maps played and getting a total of 56 kills in 42 rounds having the best performance in her career. Overwhelmed by the firepower and improved team play of <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/26932/singularity-female"><b>Singularity Female</b></a></span>, CLG Red didn't stand a chance in the semifinals.<br />  <br />  Overall the team can be extremely happy with their results. A top four finish at Copenhagen Games 2018, after their bad results before showing a constant downwards trend by losing against the tournament winner and beating their rival Dignitas easily to take over the North American crown. If they stick together and evolve even further they can become the greatest again in the future.<br />  <br />  They definitely have already proven that giving new talent a chance is worth a shot to become one of the best. Switching roles has also done good things for them as Tran had her best event of her career as the new AWPer and is now also reaching for the crown of being the best AWPer in the scene.</div>

With <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/609/goosebreeder">Mounira <b>"GooseBreeder"</b> Dobie</a></span> and <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/607/rain">Amanda <b>"rain"</b> Smith</a></span> the lineup has such a strong Canadian duo which the focus often is on as they consistently perform so well and step up while all the other players perform strongly as well and their new addition to the roster, <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/1572/milk">Kiara <b>"milk"</b> Makua</a></span> also able to prove herself.<br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="https://static.fragbite.com/stock/fd774b1ed4bfb45205cd.jpg" alt="Kiara "milk" makua got a chance to prove herself." /><figcaption>Kiara "milk" Makua got a chance to prove herself.</figcaption></figure><br />  The support this team gets from the 76ers, able to use their facilities and coaches showed that they could finally push them over the finishing line at Intel Challenge Katowice 2018 and they were able to beat RES Gaming in the semifinals and that was in a quite dominant fashion on the last two maps. Beating <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/26817/squared-prospect"><b>Squared Prospect</b></a></span> then just was a formality for them and a new champion was born and expected to contest the crown they just earned and keep it in a grand final against RES at Copenhagen Games.<br />  <br />  Starting their playoff match against <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/27093/tsv-oftersheim-esport"><b>TSV Oftersheim Esport</b></a></span>, who were just missing the experience to compete at such a high level, was a rather fast win for them. Next up was their North American rival CLG Red. Dignitas were the clear favorite, not only because of beating them being the ones who already secured their title but also because CLG Red was looking extremely weak in their matches and tournaments. Three players never really played at the top in the female scene. <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/1569/promise9k">Lily <b>"ProMise9k"</b> Chen</a></span> just added, <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/2892/emy">Emma <b>"Emy"</b> Choe</a></span> and <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/2891/refinnej">Jennifer <b>"refinneJ"</b> Le</a></span> already performing but placing 6th out of eight teams at ESU Masters. They ended up second in the North American WESG qualifier and last in Poland.<br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="https://static.fragbite.com/stock/54f36270eaad6f89b672.jpg" alt="Mounira "goosebreeder" dobie and her team got completely stunned by clg red." /><figcaption>Mounira "GooseBreeder" Dobie and her team got completely stunned by CLG Red.</figcaption></figure><br />  They may have been the underdogs, but they completely stunned Dignitas in their match in Denmark. Confindence, talent and the new game plan which got created after <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/143/potter">Christine <b>"potter"</b> Chi</a></span> left made Dignitas struggle and they were never able to find the answer being completely stunned by CLG Red and especially <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/144/di">Diane <b>"di^"</b> Tran</a></span>'s peak performance making them lose without standing a chance at all.<br />  <hr><h3><span class="team widget teamListitem"><a href="/cs/team/26306/alpha-republic-of-esport-female"><img class="teamLogo" src="https://static.fragbite.com/teams/logos/default/26306.png" alt="Alpha Republic of Esport Female"><b>Alpha Republic of Esport Female</b></a></span></h3><span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/26306/alpha-republic-of-esport-female"><b>Alpha Republic of Esport Female</b></a></span> was peaking at Copenhagen Games 2017 where they were able to run over Dignitas and with this get to the finals against Team Secret, now known as RES Gaming. At ESU Masters 2017 they were able to finish second place yet again to prove that they are the second best female team at the moment. After this, there wasn't a lot of noise around the team and a lot of opportunities missed to prove they are still at that level.<br />  <br />  Not getting invited to Girl Gamer Festival, despite their high level of play and not getting all the way to the female finals of Cross Border Esports. They also failed to make it to the WESG Europe offline qualifiers after losing against <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/26225/russian-forces"><b>Russian Forces</b></a></span> led by <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/598/vilga">Ksenia <b>"vilga"</b> Kluenkova</a></span> who ended up winning the whole tournament.<br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="https://static.fragbite.com/stock/cf61f87639420d99dfa2.jpg" alt="The newcomer Viktoria "tory" kazieva had a good performance." /><figcaption>Viktoria "tory" Kazieva has the potential to become a star player.</figcaption></figure><br />  For the Intel Challenge Katowice 2018 they had a new player added to their roster who came out of nowhere: <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/4993/tory">Viktoria <b>"tory"</b> Kazieva</a></span>. They were thrown into a group together with RES Gaming but the other two teams shouldn't have been a problem to beat. Their first match was against their nemesis RES and they lost it in a close fashion but a second place was still on the paper. Shockingly Squared Prospect were able to beat RES and with that forcing ARES to once again face them in the decider.<br />  <br />  On the upside, their new talent showed an insanely strong performance and Kazieva definitely has to be followed because she has the potential to become a star player.<br />  <br />  Copenhagen Games finally was the stage where there shouldn't be any surprises. An easy group stage finish as first wasn't a problem for them but they already showed that they still struggle against <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/27095/wasdwasdwtfcantmove"><b> WASDWASDwtfcantmove</b></a></span> losing map one and then needing to come back from a 4-11 deficit on Overpass showing a really strong terrorist side. Being close to a top 16 finish only, they were able to close it out on Nuke and their next opponent was an on-paper easy one for them because they never had a problem with Eparadise Angels on LAN in the past.<br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="https://static.fragbite.com/stock/2e7e308c8637ccc4d6c2.jpg" alt="Can Darya "dshq" mishutina find a new star to join the team?" /><figcaption>Can Darya "dshq" Mishutina find a new star to join the team?</figcaption></figure><br />  ARES definitely put up a strong fight but so did Eparadise who evolved their whole gameplay and got a lot of confidence for themselves and ARES needed to give up the win to Eparadise after losing both maps 14-16.<br />  <br />  With this ARES has a lot to work on and prove. Their newcomer looks like an upgrade but the other teams evolved rapidly looking at the likes of Eparadise, Dignitas and Singularity. ARES in comparison didn't show that their game improved a lot. They have the skill, potential and motivation to get a top-four finish again, but will they be able to catch up with the others once more?</div>

In two parts we will highlight the winners and losers of Copenhagen Games Ladies tournament 2018. In the first part we take a closer look at Singularity, Tyloo, RES Gaming and Squared Prospect.

Copenhagen Games has ended and we saw another unexpected victory, but Singularity Female convinced by taking a huge step forward after their early group stage exit at the Intel Challenge 2018. Their individual skill never was questioned but with this tournament, they show how much work they actually put into their game as a team.

While <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/1251/candy">Alyona <b>"Candy"</b> Kuvaeva</a></span>  was, of course, the leading force in the final against <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/26757/res-gaming"><b>RES Gaming</b></a></span>, <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/1246/petra">Petra <b>"Petra"</b> Stoker</a></span> consistently played exceptionally well throughout the whole playoffs and this was while being the in-game leader of the team.<br />  <br />  Showing how on point her game is: Stoker got the second most entries of the tournament, after her teammate Kuvaeva but that with a success rate of 75.5% only giving up 13 entries to enemy teams over 9 maps in total.<br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="https://static.fragbite.se/stock/654aa4d7d1cc8964b6b9.jpg" alt="" /><figcaption>Petra "Petra" Stoker claims the Fragbite MVP.</figcaption></figure><br />  The player made huge steps in the last few years, being the star player of the Dutch lineup Mcon to get into Team Expert with her dominant showings. Unable to beat the best female team in the world back then but showing her talent, she replaced <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/601/mimi">Michaela <b>"mimi"</b> Lintrup</a></span> to then never actually play an official with them.<br />  <br />  After her removal from the then Dynasty roster, she instantly got back on her feet and kept working hard, starting to build her own roster full of individually strong players.<br />  <br />  There still were a lot of question marks around players like <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/4750/illa">Madalina <b>"iLLa"</b> Geha</a></span>, who has been performing well individually before but seemed to miss the edge to become a good team player or <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/2004/kim">Sophia <b>"Kim"</b> Benfakir</a></span>, who seemed to have had problems performing under pressure. Kuvaeva was inconsistent on LAN before. Stoker and <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/1243/kllyve">Kelly <b>"kllyVe"</b> Verhaegen</a></span> were the only ones who had the consistent high tier experience already.<br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="https://static.fragbite.se/stock/6aeb5d606025dbab445b.jpg" alt="" /><figcaption>Alyona "Candy" Kuvaeva was, by the numbers, the best player on site.</figcaption></figure><br />  Intel Challenge Katowice 2018 was an important learning lesson for the lineup but since then they all seemed to focus on their individual mistakes to make out what it takes to become a better team player. The individual skill combined with the simple but strong team play of Singularity lead them to the final in a dominant fashion, only dropping one map in total at Copenhagen Games.<br />  <br />  The only question which is left up in the open: Will this roster be able to keep on dominating the scene or was it just a one time peak and they will fall off again?<br />  <hr><h3><span class="team widget teamListitem"><a href="/cs/team/27092/tyloo-female"><img class="teamLogo" src="https://static.fragbite.com/teams/logos/default/27092.png" alt="Tyloo Female"><b>Tyloo Female</b></a></span></h3>Mentioning <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/27092/tyloo-female"><b>Tyloo Female</b></a></span> as a winner of this tournament might come as a surprise since it was a worse finish than the WESG World Finals for the core of this lineup.<br />  <br />  WESG World Finals saw a lot of mixed teams playing at the tournament and with this <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/26815/llg-female"><b>LLG Female</b></a></span> had a clear advantage which they were able to abuse, additionally with surprising their enemies beating <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/26954/those-damn-canadians"><b>Those Damn Canadians</b></a></span> in the semifinals.<br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="https://static.fragbite.se/stock/78680525467afeec16fb.jpg" alt="" /><figcaption>Ting "129" Yang have come far since Copenhagen Games 2017.</figcaption></figure><br />  If we look at the results in the last 12 months though, we can clearly see that Asian CS has never been as successful as over the last two female tournaments.<br />  <br />  <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/2762/129">Ting <b>"129"</b> Yang</a></span> and <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/2761/720">Xiao <b>"720"</b> Zhao</a></span> attended Copenhagen Games 2017 under the organization <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/24920/ehome"><b>EHOME</b></a></span>. They reached playoffs but got dismantled by London Conspiracy, now known as <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/26306/alpha-republic-of-esport-female"><b>Alpha Republic of Esport Female</b></a></span>, in the round of 16 and they also shared a group with team <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/24661/athletico-female"><b>Athletico Female</b></a></span>, who had no international LAN experience at all which made the second place finish in the group not look as convincing. LLG didn't convince at Intel Challenge Katowice either as they finished last in the tournament.<br />  <br />  This tournament confirms that the Chinese female scene is on an uprise and that it wasn’t just a one time show on their home ground. After taking a map off <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/24985/counter-logic-gaming-red"><b>Counter Logic Gaming Red</b></a></span> in groups and then beating <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/27091/spirifex-female"><b>Spirifex Female</b></a></span> 2-0, which finished first in their group after beating <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/27090/lgb-esports-female"><b>LGB Esports Female</b></a></span> and that was with two new players they added to their roster after WESG and not having that much time to prepare with their new roster.<br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="https://static.fragbite.se/stock/f93bdb53d31a297910f7.jpg" alt="" /><figcaption>SinMan "Hazel" Fong once again showed us how good she can be.</figcaption></figure><br />  Their quarterfinal additionally was against RES Gaming, the second placed team of the tournament and they almost took a map off them finishing Cache 14-16.<br />  <br />  We hope to see the Chinese lineup perform more often in future female tournaments as their evolution is a good sign and they should bring a new fresh style to the competition and make some more top teams worry about playing them.</div>

Intel Challenge 2018 changed this even if they had a group they should easily finish first.<br />  <br />  ARES was a tricky opponent who they were able to overcome in close Best-of-1’s, but they already crumbled against <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/26817/squared-prospect"><b>Squared Prospect</b></a></span> who completely caught them off-guard and won their Best-of-1 making it only a second place finish in groups for RES and with this they had to face <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/24984/team-dignitas-female"><b>Team Dignitas Female</b></a></span> in the semifinals, who were coming to this tournament to win and were able to beat RES, making them finish third place after the roster around <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/598/vilga">Ksenia <b>"vilga"</b> Kluenkova</a></span> was able to still beat <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/26816/keyd-stars-female"><b>Keyd Stars Female</b></a></span> in the decider.<br />  <br />  Copenhagen Games was the tournament to show that it only was an one time off. The group stage was easy going for them, as well as facing the mix team <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/27097/xtc"><b>XTC</b></a></span> in the playoffs. Tyloo could’ve been more of a problem, especially after their showing at the WESG World Finals and they indeed made it close on map two, but it yet again was RES taking the upper hand, denying the third map to be played.<br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="https://static.fragbite.se/stock/6a5feea7c0a8813e9e83.jpg" alt="Ksenia "vilga" kluenkova won the fragbite award 2017 for best female player." /><figcaption>Ksenia "vilga" Kluenkova won the Fragbite Award 2017 for best female player.</figcaption></figure><br />  The semifinal was looking rather easy for them as well. <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/27089/eparadise-angels"><b>Eparadise Angels</b></a></span>  is a roster who never ever was able to get close to winning against RES and just seemed to miss the team play, confidence and individual skill to compete. Eparadise surprised them with a headstart on Train looking unstoppable finishing the half 11-4. RES did their best to fight back but weren’t able to stop the train hitting them. With the first map lost and they had to win the next two maps being down a map against an opponent they never struggled against before. Now it really will show how high their mental fortitude will be. Inferno had it’s back and forths but RES this time was able to compete from the beginning and put Eparadise in heated situations to make them struggle at the end closing it out. The last map was an unspectacular finish as RES made it a quick 16-4.<br />  <br />  RES made it to the final and this was their chance to show that losing in Katowice was only a one time thing. That they are still the number one in the world. Team Dignitas lost against CLG Red who in turn, lost against Singularity which was an unexpected opponent to see against them, but in the end it doesn’t matter who they play. It matters that they lift the trophy.<br />  <br />  Singularity went into the final with a lot of confidence, beating RES 16-3 on Inferno and it wasn’t looking good for them at all. Mirage was the second map on the board and it had a lot of back and forths but it was looking like it could be a 0-2 loss for the title defenders as the terrorist side saw them struggle against Kuvaeva especially, not finding a way to counter her. Picking up the last two rounds of the first half and then starting it off with six rounds added to their score brought them into the lead for the first time in this Best-of-3. Singularity was able to recover and bring it to 14 rounds but RES Gaming were still able to close it out and it was all up to the decider: Cache.<br />  <br />  There were a lot of teams previously which came so close to beating this line up, but never were able to finish it off and it seemed like the fate would be the same for Singularity when RES was getting a major head start leading 7-0, but suddenly Singularity had new fire and did exactly the same as RES did coming back from a major deficit to a 7-7. <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/602/zaaz">Zainab <b>"zAAz"</b> Turkie</a></span> and her teammates were able to at least secure the final round of the half but the momentum still was on Singularity’s side after this comeback. Singularity was able to keep the momentum picking up the pistol round and only allowing RES to get two more rounds to deny another tournament victory.<br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="https://static.fragbite.se/stock/047f8c11d12b6df90817.jpg" alt="Is it a new era coming up without RES Gaming on top?" /><figcaption>Is it a new era coming up without RES Gaming on top?</figcaption></figure><br />  With this RES Gaming had lost two Best-of-3’s against different teams, struggled against Squared Prospects in a Best-of-1 which they lost and almost lost against Eparadise Angels, which they normally beat so easily. Does this mean RES Gaming will break now? Is the confidence they built up gone, and with this is there a new era?<br />  <br />  There definitely is a new era, which is to be expected but we can’t forget about two important things:<br />  First is that RES Gaming still has a lot of experienced and strong individual players on their roster and with removing <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/828/ant1ka">Anna <b>"Ant1ka"</b> Ananikova</a></span> who got forced into a role she didn’t seem to feel comfortable on, and replacing her with a strong support player this roster is on paper looking stronger than ever. Second that it is really hard to stay at the top being so dominant and unbeaten. On the one side you, of course, gain confidence but you don’t really have anyone to match you in the scene to test yourself and improve further when it comes to the CS:GO ladies scene.<br />  <br />  Obviously, there are a lot of opportunities to play general tournaments and that is something a lot of teams should always do to keep improving but there needs to be a lot of respect given to RES Gaming to stay at the top for this long. We don’t think it’s over, we think they will come back way stronger in the next tournament and still have a high chance to take the crown back with their new player.<br />  <hr><h3><span class="team widget teamListitem"><a href="/cs/team/26817/squared-prospect"><img class="teamLogo" src="https://static.fragbite.com/teams/logos/default/26817.png" alt="Squared Prospect"><b>Squared Prospect</b></a></span></h3>Before going into why this roster is in this section after Copenhagen Games 2018, it is important to mention that they still can be very happy with their accomplishments, considering how this roster came together and how players like <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/6618/nessa">Vanessa <b>"Nessa"</b> Ahlström</a></span> also came into the scene out of nowhere.<br />  <br />  With that said Squared Prospects was a team to focus on after their Intel Challenge 2018 performance, finishing second place after beating RES Gaming in their group and finishing first place to then get to the final beating Keyd Stars. They had RES Gaming as their toughest opponent but the rest of the teams had their certain weaknesses so their run, while it was a great one also was able to be so great because of the opponents they got matched with first and then also catching their enemy off-guard and surprising them with the fast and coordinated style.<br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="https://static.fragbite.se/stock/1fde19e42b2ce57a836b.jpg" alt="" /><figcaption>The Swedish player Vanessa "Nessa" Ahlström came from nowhere.</figcaption></figure><br />  This tournament was their chance to prove that it isn’t only a one time surprise and that they can consistently shine like they did at the Intel Challenge 2018. They were able to finish their group as first place which was expected and they also were able to beat the Polish roster representing <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/25116/riot-gaming"><b>Riot Gaming</b></a></span>, but they didn’t make it easy offering two close map scores showing their own talent.<br />  <br />  It’s understandable that Squared Prospects can struggle against them though as the Polish female scene always had a lot of talented players and it also was a new team who they had to face which is harder to prepare against. Against Singularity, which later on turned out to be the tournament winner, they had a close Best-of-3 for the Intel Challenge 2018 qualifier but this time they didn’t stand a chance. Singularity’s individual strength combined with the new structure they built, Squared was getting overrun.<br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="https://static.fragbite.se/stock/ff19dab96708ceb720f1.jpg" alt="Julia "bullet girl" kurzyńska beat her fellow poles." /><figcaption>Julia "bullet girl" Kurzyńska beat her fellow Poles.</figcaption></figure><br />  Also looking back at the Intel Challenge finish when they were playing their Best-of-3 in the final showed how far they are away from Dignitas. This shows that there is really a lot to work on for Squared Prospects to get back to an at least top four finish, but the potential and talent is definitely there. If they can find a strong player replacing <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/1545/zon1q">Kristina <b>"zon1Q"</b> Stevanović</a></span> in the starting lineup they could once again be top contenders.</div>

25,000 dollars will be up for grabs in Denmark as Copenhagen Games increase their prize pool for the ladies tournament. The event will take place on March 29th in the Bella Center, Copenhagen.

Copenhagen Games continues to raise its prize pools in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive as they've previously announced that their main tournament will have a total of 100,000 dollars in the pool. Now they've announced that the ladies tournament will also get a higher pool than in previous years as the female competitors will be fighting for 25,000 dollars. This means that it's approximately 10,000 dollars more than last year.

Interview

glace about joining North Academy: "North actually contacted us"

15 April 2017, 07:00

Carolina MårtenssonCarolina "quiethell" Mårtensson – @quiethellis

Nicolai "glace" Jensen just found a new home in North, as North Academy, and they're already showing what they’re going for. They knocked out Team LDLC yesterday, and today they’re facing Dreamchasers at Copenhagen Games.

Right after North Academy managed to knock Team LDLC out of the main tournament at Copenhagen Games, we sat down with Nicolai "glace" Jensen for a chat about his new home in North.

<div class="defaultSection postContentSection sectionWithoutTitle"><div class="sectionContent">								<div class="content">Right after North Academy managed to knock Team LDLC out of the main tournament at Copenhagen Games, we sat down with Nicolai "glace" Jensen for a chat about his new home in North.<br />  <div class="rich"><b>How does it feels like to beat a team like LDLC?</b><br />  — It feels amazing, like I was at the ESEA Global Challenge three months ago where I beat them in the final so beating them back to back is kind of amazing. Also with the new team.<br />  <br />  <b>You just announced that you’re North Academy, what’s the goal with the Academy team?</b><br />  — Our primary goal is to show the world what we can do as a team and as individuals, to promote ourselves with a financial background with a professional team behind us that supports us. This event, we didn’t really had any expectations going to, because we just practised 14 days. North had the same point of view, just go in, have some fun and no pressure. <br />  <br />  <b>How did you come in contact with North?</b><br />  — North actually contacted us, they contacted LOMME and asked if he was interested in making a team then it just went from there.<br />  <br />  <b>How does it feels like to have a legend like Alexander "ave" Holdt as a coach?</b><br />  — It feels amazing, we actually haven’t implemented him yet in our team because he actually have another job that he needs to stop first before he can go full time with us. So from the first of may we’ll have the honor to work with him.<br />  <br />  <b>This is the 12th team since august 2014 that you’re representing, how come it’s been so many?</b><br />  — I don’t think it’s necensarelly twelve different teams, maybe like including some small roster changes. I was in Rogue for nearly eight months I think, standing with Maniac from LDLC, HS from PENTA, cadiaN and tenzki. We had some trouble during the time that we decided to change some players, but it’s been turbulent, I don’t know. Up until now I’ve been kind of back and forth to find my place, but I feel like this is gonna be a really good team for me.<br />  <br />  <b>How do you look at the future, are you looking to be the main team?</b><br />  — I don’t think we can compete with the main team any time soon, we might beat LDLC, but like North is way better skill wise. So right now we’ll remain North Academy and we’ll see in the future if anything’s gonna change.<br />  <br />  <b>You’re playing Dreamchasers tomorrow, how does it feel to compete against the majority of Godsent and Joel "emilio" Mako that was vac banned?</b><br />  — Yeah, regarding the emilio-case I don’t wanna talk about it but for the rest of the team I think they’re all really strong players. I feel like the entry we had against some of the other teams we were playing is that we’re really strong individuals and really good aimers, so we usually take the duels and we’re also winning them. But the Dreamchasers lineup has a really high skill so it will definitely be very tough. Also they’re playing like a mix, so it will basically be mix versus mix, because we haven’t played for more than 14 days, so it’s gonna be interesting. </div></div>

mistou: "We can play really good or really bad, so we’re trying to fix the consistency in our results"

We sat down with Valentin "mistou" Balbastro from Team LDLC at Copenhagen Games to talk about his team and their goals.

We sat down for a chat with Valentin "mistou" Balbastro from Team LDLC at Copenhagen Games. Team LDLC are one of the invited teams to the tournament and recently they made changes in their lineup.

<div class="defaultSection postContentSection sectionWithoutTitle"><div class="sectionContent">								<div class="content">We sat down for a chat with Valentin "mistou" Balbastro from Team LDLC at Copenhagen Games. Team LDLC are one of the invited teams to the tournament and recently they made changes in their lineup.<br />  <br />  <div class="rich"><b>How do you feel about going into this tournament?</b><br />  — We had a slow few weeks before, we lost like every match in online tournaments so we made a boot camp like a week before coming here, and it went pretty well. We discussed a lot of stuff trying to fix all of our mistakes and we won our EPL matches against Virtus.pro which gave us like a boost of confidence. Yeah, we feel pretty good.<br />  <br />  <b>What is your goal with the team as of right now?</b><br />  — I think we aim for the win obviously, but top three will be good for us.<br />  <br />  <b>And in ESL Pro League?</b><br />  — Our goal in EPL is just to stay in it.<br />  <br />  <b>How does it feel with the new lineup?</b><br />  — Maniac fits pretty well in the team, and he played with Ex6TenZ in the past so Maniac know how he works so everything went pretty smooth. Everything has went well since Maniac joined.<br />  <br />  <b>How does it feel to play with a British player?</b><br />  — We get so many questions about it. ALEX was born in England, but when he was like 13 I think, he moved to France. So he basically went to high school in France so he talk french, it’s like playing with french people. </div><br />  <figure><img class="img" src="http://static.fragbite.se/stock/304992625cdec7478e9c.jpg" alt="mistou is trying to be a complete player, just as he describe his teammate Mathieu "maniac" quiquerez." /><figcaption>mistou is trying to be a complete player, just as he describe his teammate Mathieu "Maniac" Quiquerez.</figcaption></figure><br />  <div class="rich"><b>Could you explain the different playstyles in the team?</b><br />  — to1nou, the AWPer, he’s like very passive with the AWP. But since he joined the first version of LDLC he tried to be more aggressive to go for peaks and stuff.<br />  <br />  ALEX, the entryfragger, he’s like the second version of Apex. He’s very aggressive in CT and as a T.<br />  <br />  Ex6TenZ is the in-game leader so I don’t think we need to talk much about him because he got a pretty good reputation. <br />  <br />  Maniac he’s like  the perfect player. He knows how to work, he know how to train himself. He know how to motivate his teammates so basically he’s a very good and complete payer.<br />  <br />  As for me I try to be a second version of Maniac but I’m the lurker in the T-side so I’m pretty aggressive during my lurk. I don’t really know how to explain my playstyle, I’m trying to be a complete player.<br />  <br />  <b>Do you think the team is better then ever right now?</b><br />  — I think we need to improve a lot of stuff, but right now I think we got a decent potential, but we’re the slump. We can play really good or really bad, so we’re trying to fix the consistency in our results.<br />  <br />  <b>What teams are you most afraid of at Copenhagen Games?</b><br />  — BIG, they’re pretty strong. Basically according to our online results we can win over everybody or we can lose to everybody, so we’re not afraid but we’re extremely careful of every team in this tournament. </div></div>

Copenhagen Games 2017 kicks off today

13 April 2017, 15:13

Featuring teams like North Academy, female superstars Team Secret, as well as the Dreamchasers mix with benched NiP player Jacob "pyth" Mourujärvi, the annual Copenhagen Games event will be starting today.

Remaining as one of the oldest LAN events in Scandinavia, the 2017 edition of Copenhagen Games will once again feature both male, and female, competitions in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

<div class="defaultSection postContentSection sectionWithoutTitle"><div class="sectionContent">								<div class="content">Remaining as one of the oldest LAN events in Scandinavia, the 2017 edition of Copenhagen Games will once again feature both male, and female, competitions in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.<br />  <br />  The top female teams will be fighting for a total of 14 000 euro, while the male tournament will be offering its competitors 50 000 euro.<br />  <br />  A number of well-known names have been invited to the male tournament at Copenhagen Games, as Fnatic Academy, Epsilon eSports, and the Dreamchasers mix, which features Joel "emilio" Mako. Additionally, Epsilon will be using former Renegades ringer Simon "atter" Atterstam at the event, which may result in a permanent spot on the team's main roster.<br />  <br />  Aside from the invited teams, eight more squads will be qualifying for the main event through the LAN's BYOC tournament. Some of the more notable names in attendance are Binary Dragons, which is fronted by FaZe Clan superstar Nikola "NiKo" Kovač's cousin Nemanja “huNter” Kovač—as well as Rogue and North's academy squads.<br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="http://static.fragbite.se/stock/63c62b7dbebe90674820.jpg" alt="The female squad from Australia, Athletico Female." /><figcaption>The female squad from Australia, Athletico Female.</figcaption></figure><br />  The female tournament will feature teams such as Crowns Esports Club, Team Dignitas Female, and Team Secret. Whether or not Julia "juliano" Kiran and Team Secret will win yet another iteration of the event remains to be seen, as the competition looks to be fierce in the Danish capital.</div>

Earlier this morning, Copenhagen Games revealed its list of invited teams slated to compete at the 2017 iteration of the event. The invited teams will not have to qualify for the tournament's main event. The list of invited names has, however, provoked Juho "juhob" Lampinen, to air his grievances on Twitter.

WHAT THE FUCK</p>— Juho Lampinen (@juhobcs) <a href="https://twitter.com/juhobcs/status/849370894371782658">April 4, 2017</a></blockquote><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><br />  <br />  The outburst most likely has to do with the fact that iGame.com wasn't among the list of invited teams, and will instead have to battle their way through Copenhagen Game's on-site qualifier to secure a spot at the $50,000 event. Additionally, the tournament organizer's decision to invite the mixteam dreamchasers, which features three players from the current Godsent roster, Jacob "pyth" Mourujärvi, as well as the heavily criticized Joel "emilio" Mako, also appears to have contributed to the player's outrage.<br />  <br />  The response doesn't necessarily only have to relate to the dreamchasers-situation, seeing as johub's iGame.com is currently ranked higher than several of the other squads that received invitations to the event, according to <a href="http://www.hltv.org/ranking/teams/2017/april/3/" target="_blank">HLTV.org's ranking</a>.<br />  <br />  </div>

Denmark's biggest Counter-Strike event just got bigger. The annual held Copenhagen Games, which was considered a Major in previous iterations of the game, will have a prize purse of €50,000 (~$54,000) - an increase of over $20,000 from last year's edition, which saw HellRaisers raise the trophy after defeating E-Frag, which was represented by Emiliyan 'spyleadeR' Dimitrov's former Bulgarian lineup (also known as MK).
