Scheduled to start on Monday 7th April at 21.00 CET, this match open the gates for a new EMS and KOS season.



Kirill 'KiCK' Kozlov the team manager of the Russian team state to ESL's website the following statement:

"Next Monday we have very important match against very strong team. As ESL Major Series champions we have to show our best to win it. In my opinion this will be a close match.
As all teams from Germany faculty. Seasonic is very dangerous. Their advantage that we don't know anything about players, we have never played against this team and their players participate just in German leagues. We just know that this team is last season KOS winner and its great result!
But PinCho is the favorite in this game anyway. We have big experience of playing with such teams as SK and mTw, so I think that we can win this trophy. Of course, a lot of time after our success in EMS has flowed away and our lineup has some changes. We are ready to show our skill and start this season winning this cup! I hope it will be fair play game and wish good luck both teams."
