Virtus.pro, LDLC join DHS list

3-6-2013 20:48

The DreamHack organisers have announced that LDLC.com and Virtus.pro have been invited to take part in this year's Summer event.

DreamHack Summer will run from June 15th to 18th in the city of Jönköping, with 16 teams in contention in the €23,500 CS:GO tournament.

Seven of these 16 participants will be directly invited by the organisation, while the remaining teams will come from various online and LAN tournaments that are organised in several European countries.

It has now been announced that the last two invites will go to Russia-based side Virtus.pro and French team LDLC.com. This will be the first LAN tournament for Kenny "kennyS" Schrub and Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovács since joining their respective new teams.

DH Summer will be GuardiaN's first event with Virtus.pro

This also means that VeryGames will most likely skip the Swedish event. HLTV.org knows that some of the team's players have exams coming up, so it is possible that they may decide against attending the event.

Below you can find the participants' list for DH Summer as it stands now:

1. Ninjas in Pyjamas
2. Curse
3. ESC Gaming
4. fnatic
5. Copenhagen Wolves
6. /10/ - TECHLABS Minsk
7. Virtus.pro
8. LDLC.com
9. ESG!
10. Western Wolves
11. myDGB.net
12. Online Qualifier – RaidCall EMS One Summer 2013

seriously, i dont know what is going on with ESC. they werent any random 1.6 players that became good 3 months before the csgo release, yet they are barely a top10 team. I mean cmon they have N E O ?!?!

neo had already been taken over by taz late in the 1.6 endyear I guess its motivation, age, or something else. at some point anyone loses touch or motivation

2013-06-03 22:28

ESC were good because Neo was great. I am not saying the rest of them were bad, but Neo managed to give them that little extra they needed in most matches. In CS:GO Neo is ok compared to what he was in 1.6.

2013-06-03 22:29

fnatic wont be top3..CPH wolves will be in the way so will western wolves be

Hoping for a VP vs NiP FINAL and NiP to loose 2 - 1

I guess they will pick the two teams from the EMS based on the two highest ranking teams who don't already have an invite which at the moment would be Navi and Verygames en.csgo.raidcall-emsone.com/. If Verygames aren't able to attend then it would between Alternate, Absolute Legends or n!faculty for the last spot, the final EMS cup tomorrow should decide which one of those three it will be. From the Fnatic Fragout league the only two teams of the six who have reached the playoffs and don't already have a place at Dreamhack are Epsilon and Anexis. So what ever team can get the furthest in the playoffs will get that final pre-lan qualification place.

i think you forget that there is other option for Epsilon. If they not manage to get the qualification. They can go on BYOC. I think this should be Epsilon`s plan afaik. But who knows what will bring the future for them.

Didn't include any of the two potential byoc spots, although if they get the spot through the fnatic league which is a possibility if anexis lose their playoff game versus fnatic then they won't need to attend the byoc.

2013-06-03 23:08

There is possibility for upset. We know fnatic is not in the best shape.

2013-06-03 23:16

anexis > fnatic is an upset now, wait what?

2013-06-04 23:41

come on man. i`m not blaming fnatic at all. I think Anexis make a little practice they can beat fnatic and grab they chance if they wanna attend DHS if they really wanna go.

2013-06-05 19:15

LDLC wont participate cause some players have exam at this time, thats what they said

2013-06-03 22:40

Verygames, no LDLC

2013-06-03 22:47

2013-06-03 23:31

2013-06-04 13:33

yes, he is :)

2013-06-04 15:50

2013-06-03 22:43

2013-06-03 23:22

2013-06-03 23:35

2013-06-03 23:51

Thank you!

2013-06-04 09:08

afaik, all the teams listed above has accepted the invite, therefore it must be confirmed :-)

2013-06-04 00:26

Thanks!

2013-06-04 09:10

hope will see Navi there

2013-06-03 23:47

They should qualify after the EMS Cup #4.

2013-06-04 01:10

wtf curse instead of navi and vg ?

2013-06-04 01:24

The new curse is probably better than any american csgo team that has attended a major event.

2013-06-04 01:59

It would be better if both Curse and Quantic attend this tournament Curse are a good team, and Quantic has a lot of potential.

2013-06-04 02:06

this is true. if only one NA team secures an invite though, I think we would all put our faith in Curse at the moment. Quantic has been struggling with practice time due to n0thing not being as available as the other members on various nights of the week.
