VG, Anexis, more at ESH Birmingham

18-3-2013 22:31

Esports Heaven has announced the first batch of teams who will be in attendance at the event in Birmingham.

The British event will run from April 5th to 7th at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham, as part of the Gadget Show Live, a major technology and consumer expo.

A total of £10,000 (approximately €11,500) will be given out in the CS:GO tournament, which will feature just 10 teams, six fewer than the Mad Catz event in Vienna last month.

Since ESH Birmingham will fall on the same dates as the SLTV StarSeries finals, teams like Ninjas in Pyjamas and Natus Vincere will not be able to attend the British event if they finish in the top four in the league.

However, a provisional participants' list released earlier on Monday showed that this will be an event to follow, as VeryGames will be looking for their first trophy abroad since switching to CS:GO.

Anexis and k1ck, both of whom have qualified for the RaidCall EMS One group stage, will also be in attendance, just like Joshua "steel" Nissan's Dignitas and George "Zed" Bear's Reason Gaming.

The last team of the six teams who were confirmed today is fm-eSports TOXiC, who have performed well online since adding Danni "smF" Dyg and Søren "socN" Falke.

The provisional participants' list for the British event looks as follows:

VeryGames	fm-eSports TOXiC
k1ck	Reason Gaming
Anexis	Dignitas

Meanwhile, it has been announced that just like the event in Vienna, the one in Birmingham will be sponsored by Mad Catz.

Sick, but would be nice to see a strong 4Kings lineup there aswell.

I meant strong like "strong" in CS earlier days, one of the best and most legendary eSport orgas for sure.

2013-03-19 18:56

I wouldnt land 4k in the same category as Na'vi, SK, Fnatic and NiP and Golden Five if you want to count then in despite not being under 1 organisation.

2013-03-19 20:54

Well, in terms of eSport as a whole, 4Kings got a legacy among the finest in a hall of fame. In CS they didnt put up any extraordinary results in comparison to those you mentioned, true. But in my book legends of CS anyday, as they were up there fighting on the greatest "pioneer" stages, nothing can change that. Its all history and long gone, yeah.. but never forgotten.

GO K1CK!!

2013-03-18 22:42

seriously learn to respect the others the uk can have its own country scene.. there isn't only nip and na'vi on this world you know?! all the teams need a chance to shine

2013-03-18 22:45

How much room do you think they're gonna get to shine when VG, WW (former anexis) and perhaps also Na'Vi and NIP is comming?

2013-03-19 08:23

2013-03-19 00:32

You are a complete idiot

2013-03-19 00:42

To keep the answer simple for your tiny mind, yes.

2013-03-19 11:02

lol

2013-03-19 15:16

Actually on this list so far there is no one that comes even close to VG. Sad, but true.

2013-03-19 14:59

Anexis on LAN are a different animal.

2013-03-19 16:53

Oh now VG can win a event :o

Cadred is really doing well with these solid tournaments. Like 10k tournaments like every month. Thats really sustainable.

So, tek9 and hardwareheaven are cadred aswell. Mkay.

2013-03-19 11:52

tek9 is kinda innactive. And basicly all major people from HM are from cadred.

2013-03-19 12:50

tek9 is a forum novadays. And yeah, most of HM are working for Cadred.

So everyone at heavenmedia works for gonzo?

2013-03-19 15:20

No idea about that, I don't know who runs HM.

2013-03-19 15:33

Heaven Media are a media agency and event management group which owns Tek-9, HardwareHeaven, DriverHeaven, Cadred and EsportsHeaven. The major people aren't from Cadred. I just love how when something goes wrong or something people don't agree with happens HM = Cadred. But when they do something right and something that's beneficial to the community HM = NOT CADRED.

2013-03-19 16:00

Oh, thanks. My assumptions went wrong again. Which of those will be merged soon? tek9, cadred, esportsheaven and anything else?

2013-03-19 17:14

Tek-9 and Cadred will be merging and taking the EsportsHeaven name, our tournaments etc will also be run through that site!

2013-03-19 18:26

pumping money in to a scene which they have supported from the start. yeah those scumbags..

2013-03-19 12:53

go k1ck :D but it will be hard.

2013-03-18 23:13

I hope see some spanish team...

2013-03-18 23:03

2013-03-18 23:16

VG are not lame..

2013-03-18 23:34

nobody cares if u watch or not

2013-03-19 16:14

easy for K1CK!

2013-03-18 23:18

Finally we'll see dignitas at a LAN event :-D

2013-03-18 23:33

uk teams will get stomped.

2013-03-18 23:38

2013-03-19 02:34

+1 :)

2013-03-19 08:34

k1ck to win

2013-03-18 23:44

way too easy for VG

2013-03-19 00:27

I'd say that both Dignitas and Anexis has the chance to beat VG..So it wont be an easy win for VG at all

2013-03-19 00:38

I actually think the matches will be fairly interesting, it won't be a walk in the park for VG, they seem to struggle and choke a lot lately.

2013-03-19 00:41

1. Anexis 2. Verygames 3. fm! toxic That will be the top 3 :}

2013-03-19 00:43

trolololol

2013-03-19 01:50

You don't even know the other teams yet. ffs

2013-03-19 03:06

Anexis is now the uk-team with rattlesnake right? Then they have little or no chance to make it top 3, regardless wich teams will complete the list.

2013-03-19 15:01

The players from Anexis have allways been way better LAN than online so you can't write them off for the win at all.

2013-03-19 16:28

Go K1ck =)

2013-03-19 02:13

Invite anexis and fnatic

2013-03-19 03:38

2013-03-19 20:16

2013-03-19 08:47

gl k1ck !:)

2013-03-19 18:32

VG will beat the shit out of everybody :P

2013-03-19 19:00

would be good to see UK teams all performing well on LAN and getting some recognition. the big orgs are represented, except 4kings for the time being so at least that's something if any UK team does well, the community should give them some credit and so should their rival UK teams instead of the usual bitch fest and whining OI/Anexis on LAN should be good. Toxic too. Not seen much of Reason and Dig yet... haven't seen many officials on hltv? gl all :)
