London Conspiracy and dAT Team are the first two teams to have qualified for ESL One Cologne. The first day of the ESL One Cologne European Finals has come to an end, with two teams having already secured qualification for the event in Germany, which will take place on August 14-17 under the wings of GamesCom. Fresh off adding veteran Preben "prb" Gammelsæter to their ranks, London Conspiracy turned up the heat and gave a great account of themselves as they moved past k1ck and Natus Vincere to book a place at ESL One Cologne.
But the biggest surprise of the day came in the form of dAT Team, who were playing with Egor "flamie" Vasilyev as a stand-in. The CIS-based side first moved past mousesports 2-0 then edged ESG! out with a 2-1 scoreline to reach the Upper semi-finals. The qualifier will resume on Sunday at 13:00 with the other two quarter-final contests, which will pit Epsilon against Copenhagen Wolves and Titan against ENCORE, and with the first two matches of the second round of the Lower Bracket. Below you can find the scheduled for Sunday:
