Counter-Strike Source: H2k wins EMS Season I

By: Mario Coppola - Published February 18, 2008 at 12:58 PM EST - Writer Archive
H2k.css, a French line-up formerly known as STUD, has won the first season of the ESL Major Series, earning themselves $3,300.
In the Grand Final, H2k defeated fnatic 16 - 9 on de_train, after winning the first half 11 – 4 as Counter-Terrorists.

Fnatic were sent to the lower bracket in the first week of the playoffs after a 21 – 18 overtime loss to Czech team eSuba. As a result, H2k only needed to win one map in order to take home gold and bag $3,300 (€2250).

During the playoffs, H2k beat n!faculty, Begrip (formerly Seven.pro) and eSuba, entering the grand final undefeated. Fnatic lost their first playoff match versus eSuba, but managed to defeat c23, Begrip and WebOne in the lower bracket. In the consolation final, fnatic faced eSuba once more, a game which they were able to win 16 – 9, before entering the grand final with the 2 map handicap.

Final Standings:
1. France H2k - $3,300 (€2250)
2. Netherlands fnatic - $1850 (€1250)
3. Czech Republic eSuba - $730 (€500)
4. France WebOne
5/6. Germany ALTERNATE aTTaX
5/6. Russia Begrip
7/8. Italy Ex C23
7/8. Germany n!faculty

The Qualifiers for EMS Season II are currently underway. The number of participants for the upcoming season has been increased, but overall prize money has been lowered from €4000 to €3000.

After watching sourceTV from the matches in EMS, and from the recent Re-So LAN in France. Im certain that h2k, don't play clean online. A player like Kristen drops 20+ bombs every single pcw/cw online. And on LAN he barely get's frags at all, runs around the map like a clueless gypsy, nading himself. Furthermore, h2k did really well and managed to loose 3-16 in the final, starting CT on Nuke(LOLOL). And in the upperbracket final, they started CT on Inferno and lost the half 1-14. That really doesn't make sence, getting battered that much, when recently winning the EMS, beating fnatic.
