Busy Quick Update

Work has been busy around the office with recording a large montage for my YouTube channel. I am working hard to write blogs but time is very scarce in my schedule at the moment. I do have some CS:GO news to put in this post. So lets Begin...

Fnatic win ESEA LAN. In a intense nail bitter of a game fnatic managed to pull out a win against Virtus.Pro, many people were hoping to see a Virtus.PLOW throughout the whole entire tournament. The question is, did they show the full brute force the plow can do? I will let you guys think of if they did. Lots of other teams were trying out new stragies, teams like iBUYPOWER changed out desi to adreN in their lineup. AdreN was a player that played with the team back before when anger and before swag join the team. AdreN definetly showed he can peform at higher level teams, rather than his team TST or The Stream Team. The team is a Premier level team that focuses on the fact that they stream every minute of practice, scrims and matches. With that aside here are the final standings for ESEA LAN Season 17...

1. Fnatic
2. Virtus.Pro
3.Team iBUYPOWER
4. Denial eSports
5. Cloud9
6. Titan
7. mousesports
8. eLevate

To walk through the standings and a more in-depth review on the teams performances. Fnatic winning the whole tournament, definitely showed up to win and showed nothing less, showing they can be the #1 team in the world. Virtus.Pro Polish team that worked very hard throughout the tournament but failed to perform 100% in the finals vs. Fnatic. iBP showed improvement with the addition of adreN to the lineup. One thing to note about iBP is that it is not 100% proven that adreN is the 5th. It was said that he was only used for a fill in and to try to shift around the styles of the team. The different styles showed as the team showed improvement and moved to 3rd place just above Denial. Denial defiantly a team under the radar shocked many people at home and at the LAN. It was obvious to say that the team put in lots of practice with their strategies and studying other teams. Below them in a shocking 5th place is Cloud9 who failed to perform in yet another tournament, just as in DreamHack the team had lots of problems, same blame that fact of not having enough rest and becoming to tired from all the flights to home then to Dallas. In 6th place Titan with their new fifth man showed they definitely did not have enough time to work together new strategies and fully understand each others strengths and differences. In 7th place mousesports was a team that were thought to do better, not to win the LAN but to come in a higher standing. In a tough last place eLevate another small level team showed what they can do but was never able to fully win.

Well that is about it for the ESEA Season 17 LAN Finals in Dallas, Texas registering for the next season of ESEA has already begun. Signup now.
