Brazil loses ESWC spot

3-8-2013 01:14

The Electronic Sports World Cup has announced that Brazil will not organise a qualifier for this year's world finals after all.

Brazil had initially been listed as one of the countries that had secured an ESWC license to put together a qualifier for the world finals, although it remained unclear which organisation was going stage the tournament.

However, just like Argentina, Brazil is no longer listed on the ESWC CS:GO page, meaning that the country will not stage a qualifier after all.

The only chance for Brazilian teams to attend the ESWC finals is if they get their hands on one of the three spots that are reserved for teams from countries that will not organise qualifiers. To apply for one of these spots, teams need to fill out the application form.

Meanwhile, the ESWC has indicated that Algeria will be replacing Brazil on the qualifiers' list, with the tournament scheduled to take place between August 28th to 31st in Hydra, a municipality in the province of Algiers.

Below you can find the list of all the qualifiers that have so far been confirmed:

France	United Kingdom	United States
France	Germany	Europe
Algeria	Pakistan	Denmark
Norway	Portugal	Europe / USA
NiP (2012 winner)

Stay tuned to HLTV.org for all the info about this year's ESWC finals, which will take place from October 30th to November 3rd at Porte de Versailles in Paris.

2013-08-03 01:17

If they want a spot they need someone to step up and host quals. Just because the brs are too lazy and poor to host a qualifier doesn't mean other countries can't

sorry, but i don't think it is a money problem since we're still hosting championships for other games at this year. the real problem is: cs:go died in here even before it was born. everyone is migrating to other games and seems like there aren't too many teams really interested in a real cs:go championship right here :|.

Algeria has a recent good past ;) . We played two international tournament , we attempt the final of Kiev last chance qualifier , beating Virtus.pro in the semis and lost the finals against Winfakt. We played the last 1.6 Eswc and show some resistance against na'vi and winfakt...You don't have the right to make fun of us. I think that the best team in Africa need more invitation for international tournament , to show what we can do :)

And seriously, why do you guys are so agressive against FalleN like if he was stealing people's money? He offers classes and is paid for it, he offers a service and people pay him, there's nothing wrong with it, it's like those "football schools"(sorry if it's not the right expression) here where the parents pay for their kids to play and receive lessons about football. And no, I don't give him my money :D

So please stop judging us from where we are.Cordially :)

I thought ESEA was hosting a SA lan event, surely the eswc qualifier could've happened then.

This is not CS game, CS game has always Brazilian, Argentinian quals ;)

Sucks for the brazilian players, but I wouldn't blame ESWC for the weak southamerican scene.

For those who knows a shit about Algeria . We have a little past in the International scene . we played Eswc2011 , we make it to the final in kiev last chance Qualifier. Our player are very skilled , but the main reason why we don't appear in the scene , is because we have any sponsor to support us . Stop your jugement and take a look to this fragmovie to have an idea of our play style :) youtube.com/watch?v=Em-I5G6P0uI

Fucking Singaporean guys always hating. QuakeCon just happened this weekend, any CoD tournament gets a shit ton of viewers, Shootmania, PlanetSide, Loadout and Firefall are all new games with a vastly growing competitive community. Maybe the games you play is dead (RIP), but FPS is stronger than ever bro. Mix that with your rice and eat it.

+1 Just be patient until the Eswc2013 and they will regret their talks

it doesn't matter they have footballers & hot girls!

Shame. Brazil has some really talented players compared to Algeria/Pakistan/USA and definitely deserve a spot but if they can't get their shit together and look 3 months into the future I have no support for them.
