In the grand finals, Serpents took the first map, Product, in a dominant fashion with a 3-1 scoreline. The second map, Snakewater, was much closer. After a one-sided initial mid-fight, LEGO managed an incredibly resilient defense on their last for ten minutes to force the round restart at 0-0. They quickly went down after this however, and with a 2-1 score in favor of Serpents as the clock ticked down, all the Russian team had to do was hold the line in order to prevent the game from going to a golden cap. Serpents pulled through despite being rocked all the way back to their last point with seconds remaining, and took the series over LEGO in two maps, securing themselves €1,000 and a reserved spot at DreamHack Summer 2016.

dd + 5 abs run came to a short end as Serpents dispatched them in 2 maps to advance to the Grand Final. Similarly, Publiclir fell to the hands of fellow premiership team LEGO , who have broken their own streak of 3 consecutive qualifier semi-final finishes and made their first grand finalist appearance in a qualifier.

On the other hand, Publiclir beat their opponents Comfortably Spanked to get out of the quarter-finals, while LEGO easily beat their opponents from Stevie Wonder’s Aim School .

The fourth and final online qualifier playoffs brought a handful of surprises. Happy Farmers , semi-finalists of the third DreamHack Summer Qualifier playoffs, went out early in the quarter-finals with a 1-2 defeat to Serpents . Similarly, semi-finalists of the first qualifier PC Master Race were knocked out in the first round to dd + 5 abs , who have been knocked out in the quarter-finals of all three preceding qualifiers.

That means that the winner get an invitation+1000€ to potentially go to DHS.

This doesn't mean that if the invitation is not "accepted" there can't be any other team. Those who decide to partecipate to the tournament (and are accepted) just won't have those money to help their wallets to go to the LAN. This was "just" an invitational tournament as far as i understood.

Yeah some people may think it's shitty by them, but at the end of the day if the current prem teams are getting beaten by a bunch of inactive, albeit very good, players then they don't really deserve the money. It's nice having all these games to cast/watch but if the desire was that the top active teams attend the LAN without the chance of people choking 4 tournaments in a row (Publiclir), the money should have just been given to the teams.

27 #27 smzi 18 Frags – + So to clarify the SUAVE situation both kiler and I planned to make it happen but it wont happen due to the following reasons. - war doesnt want to go

- mike is tied with perilous ( even tho he said he would ditch them if Suave is happening)

- Rising does not get time off work I said all this to sideshow roughly a week ago and I hope you guys understand that we are not willing to spend money to go to lan with a half-assed mixteam that will just get bodied by nameLess and Perilous. While i also understand that it looks shitty how Suave now stole a spot by casually bringing back a top tier prem team I have to ask you to look at yesterdays cup. A russian mixteam full with inactive/washed up players (also not even the Top 6 russian players eg. forsaken, death/gdk) just beat the left over prem teams once again. I am sure both Lego and Publiclir will get the spot from Sideshow but i also could not agree more with kermit (post 20).

The money should have just been given to those teams instead of making them fight for it since the chance of choking in an online qualifier is always there. So to clarify the SUAVE situation both kiler and I planned to make it happen but it wont happen due to the following reasons.
