If they want to play the qualifier and dont already have esea then they have to buy it. So if you want to play you have to pay esea, whereas the qualifiers used to be free

2013-08-28 01:05

yeah im sure the reason esea postponed it is so the extra 5 people that havent bought esea but want to play eswc will do it

2013-08-28 01:29

its literally in the article, they want more people to sign up if they didnt want more ppl theyd just start the quals on schedule

The people with subs would have signed up before the first deadline, they're trying to increase interest amongst the nonsubs

first of all, more people signed up equals more competition and a healthier CS:go scene 'qualifiers used to be free' lol? even if a qualifier doesn't have an entrance fee, no point in qualifying if you dont have thousands of dollars to travel. $7/month is a pittance in comparison to the amount of money a team would need to attend after qualifying

2013-08-27 15:25

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL TEAMS: Remember. Jbree cheat. Do NOT play them like a normal game; fake peaks (A lot of these, (rush to a wall, corner and stop), fast rushes to their weakest player. AND a lot of aggressive pushes as a 2 or 3

2013-08-27 15:47

So there is no UK ESWC quals?

2013-08-27 15:55

They are still working on them currently.

2013-08-27 16:19

Alrighty guess we'll play this aswell. Is it going to happen or are they thinking about it you know?

2013-08-27 16:59

Don't think you can play it if you have 3 or more UK players, needs to be european mixed

2013-08-27 17:40

that is fucking pathetic if true

2013-08-27 18:06

yeah it is, mostly just for balkan teams and european lineups which is shit but I seen REASON and CRG are signed up so I could be wrong!

2013-08-27 18:28

2013-08-27 18:34

then maybe u can then, i remember for ESL last year it was only EU teams

2013-08-27 22:31

First round is at the same date as the first EMS One Fall Cup.. :(

2013-08-27 15:57

well i think they might postpone it agian if they hear it, or they are want to "be at the same date with ESL" which is dumb.

2013-08-27 16:17

These dates were dates that were originally used in the announcement we made. We did not change them, the first round is just being played on the original second round time. So, all along, it would have interfered. It is possible that not many teams play on the first day of the first round, depending on how many more we get. We will do our best to work with teams that we can.

2013-08-27 17:37

Also how do i get people on the roster

2013-08-27 16:16

Go to play.esea.net/index.php?s=events click "register now" then choose "join an existing team" in the dropdown box which is "create a team" by default. Let me know if you have any problems.

2013-08-27 22:53

GOt people on, but can we not play if we are all UK?

2013-08-28 00:11

That is not a problem. You can play if all five members are the same nationality.

2013-08-28 00:23

Ah good shit thanks.

2013-08-28 02:11
