In Group B of the RaidCall EMS One Fall 2013 Finals the prior champion Ninjas in Pyjamas will meet some very familiar faces from their years in eSports. Both Na'Vi and Universal Soldiers (former ESC) have been their opponents already back in the days of CS 1.6. But the newer team of Party Daddlers will be their first team to play. Can the German newcomers make the super stars struggle? Group B NiP vs. Party Daddlers After failing to reach the Grand Final in Summer Season, NiP came back big! GeT_RighT and his team went down in RaidCall EMS One history as the first team to win two out of four cups, only to then go on to win their group with back-to-back wins (against LDLC and Fnatic). Are they going to get "their" title back from VERYGAMES?

The German mix of Party Daddlers is still without an organisation. Nevertheless they managed to qualify for the Live Event Finals in style, while qualifying for the groups with only one cup after winning Go4CS:GO and taking down Astana Dragons. Will the Germans take the next step in front of the local crowd?



Group B Na'Vi vs. Universal Soldiers Slowly but steady: Na'Vi are making their way back to the top in the new CS league. Having reached the Semifinals in both Cup #3 and #4 with a new lineup, they also managed to win the so-called "group of death" racking up a two win streak in the process.

The team of Universal Soldiers (formally known as ESC Gaming) are still the reigning IEM CS 1.6 champions having snatched the crown away from Na'Vi. The Summer 2013 Finals saw the Poles fall short of the public's expectations, which led them to part ways with both kuben and Loord. Newcomers, byali and sx have already proved their worth and hopes are high that the team can earn themselves a position in the Top 10 and maybe even secure second place in the group stage (behind VeryGames).



Jason Kaplan, RaidCall EMS One caster, on this match up: Just like Fnatic, Na'Vi had some roster changes that happened mid way through the Fall season. Coming through the group stages as the first team qualified from the Group of Death (Group D) Na'Vi have been quickly adapting to the new roster and working well with each other. With intense practice before these offline playoffs, I believe Na'Vi to have fixed any problems and to come out strong.



ESC, now under the new organisation of Universal Soldiers, played amazing in the group stages beating out ENCE eSports twice. US qualified into last seasons offline playoffs but got knocked out by Virtus.pro in the first round. Coming into this match though, they beat Na'Vi on September 26th for the Starseries VII season with a score of 16:6. This was on Mirage which is one of US's best maps, but have they been able to train in preparation for this event enough to make a big impact? We will find out soon!



Player to watch: Pasha



Pasha has always been a stand out player for the old ESC line up now Universal Soldiers. However, during most of the Raidcall EMS Fall 2013 Season he has been playing sub par. If Pasha does get over this slump, he can carry Universal Soldiers on his massive biceps. Na'Vi needs to be careful of this and hope they can control him.
