Tomorrow sees the final of the ESL Major Series Season 3 CoD4 tournament. In this article we take a quick look back the season and what we can expect in the final.

The final will be between Dignitas and Button Bashers two of the top teams in Europe. The game starts at 20:00 GMT tomorrow and will be shoutcasted on QuadV by Deman and TosspoT (link).

The EMS started two months ago, a promising online tournament with an impressive €3,000 in prize money split as:

	1st	€1,500
	2nd	€900
	3rd	€600

The launch of CoD5 at the time meant the league was cut back by not having group stages in an effort to make it quicker. It looked easy and the final was planned for early December, this however did not happen as the last two games took two months to finish (due to LANs and Christmas).

Some of the more impressive results of the cup have come from BioXar seeded 14th they secured 3rd place beating Komacrew, Crack, esuba and Epsilon before losing to ButtonBashers in the lower-bracket final.

Dignitas have yet to lose a game beating Komacrew, esuba and most importantly Button Bashers in the semi-final winning 13-8 on citystreets. This of course means Button Bashers will be coming up from the loser bracket having to win two maps to win first place, where as Dignitas only need to win one. Button Bashers have had a slightly easier tournament beating Reason-gaming 13-5 and Epsilon.

The most important factor as to who takes the €1,500 will probably be practise as both teams especially Dignitas have had little. This was especially shown by some poor results by Dignitas towards the end of the EPS. How the teams cope with this will have to be seen.

Contrary to the ESL site maps will be decided tomorrow just before the game.

Prematch statement from Dignitas Mark

We are going into this final of the EMS expecting a win, we only need to win one map whilst they need two, so if they rage us on their map we still have ours to fall back on! Its going to be a case of who's prepared more i guess! GL to them :)

Prematch statement from Button Bashers Svo

We will be playing dignitas tomorrow, both teams have been inactive i geuss so it can go either way. We will be playing with r1k because mofje quit gaming after cc5. It will be a nice match i think and i hope we can take 2 mapwins.
