Ukraine, Libya with ESWC qualifiers

9-9-2013 14:30

The Electronic Sports World Cup (ESWC) organisers have confirmed that there will be two additional qualifiers, in Ukraine and Libya.

Last weekend, it was announced that Pakistan would no longer be hosting a national qualifier, which left a second slot in this year's ESWC CS:GO tournament up for grabs.

The Ukrainian qualifier will be organised by UCPL, while the event in Libya will be hosted by the Tripoli Electronic Sports Club Association (TESCA). The dates and location for these two qualifiers have not yet been announced.

The news means that the spot that was going to be handed out via application has been removed, making ATE Gaming from India the only team that is invited by the ESWC, apart from Ninjas in Pyjamas, last year's winner.

The participants' list for the ESWC finals currently looks as follows:

NiP	compLexity
C3 Gaming	ATE Gaming
France	France
United Kingdom	United States
Germany	Denmark
Norway	Portugal
Europe	Sweden
Ukraine	Libya

NAvi!!

Be happy that there's new kids on the block. CS:GO isn't exactly global. At least this shows there is interest in countries outside of Europe.

I doubt it ^_^ but I was able to play with Mo (TyLoo) on a DM pub, I'm not really sure if it was really him. Name of server was HKG then chinese text. (It happened a long long time ago, maybe late2012-early2013)

2013-09-09 15:54

I doubt Chinese teams would actually compete here considering how low the prize pool is.

If ESWC can pay the expense of travel like what MSI beat it does for the Chinese teams,I doubt they would skip ESWC.

Finland is full of skilled players, but the problem is that teams cant stay together more than 3 months, and teams lack experience what is a huge factor in terms of playing at the top.

When will Australia get a chance?, their scene has to be stronger then the Asian/African regions taking part, I put money on the Aussie scene is stronger then most parts of the EU scene. Just take a look at how competitive they're online and they have lan tourneys happening.

even libyan plays a lot CSGO and Dota2, but unfortunately no one support these countries that's why you think that libya and Algeria are bad.

11 replies

I don't think they're bad at all, I just believe certain scenes are stronger then others. The Aussie scene has competitive leagues with money online and plenty of online cups going, along with lan tourneys, so you would think their scene has to be stronger, it's nothing against your country or any other one that has the chance. The countries that have the most activity should get the chance, and I'm talking about competitive activity.
