Three more invited to DH Winter

6-11-2013 12:29

DreamHack has invited Clan-Mystik, fnatic and iBUYPOWER to the Winter event, bringing the participants' list to 11 teams.

The news means that DreamHack has used up all of the invites as the trio join VeryGames, compLexity and Astana Dragons - the other three sides who received a wildcard - on the participants' list.

Clan-Mystik come off an impressive winning campaign at the ESWC world finals, beating the likes of Astana Dragons and VeryGames to scoop the $12,500 prize. fnatic also attended the event in Paris, finishing 5th-8th following a quarter-final defeat to VG.

Clan-Mystik to attend DH Winter

The third team to receive an invite is none other than Sam "DaZeD" Marine's team, who were last month picked up by iBUYPOWER, a new eSports organization set up by the computer manufacturer.

The participants' list for DreamHack Winter is now the following:

NiP	VeryGames	coL	Astana Dragons
n!faculty	SK Gaming	Clan-Mystik	fnatic
iBUYPOWER	UniversalSoldiers	CPH Wolves	BYOC
BYOC	TECHLABS Moscow	Online	Online

that is failing hard lol, but I think they will make it to the top 5, my guess would be... VG, nip, cph, CM and ibuypower hopefully :p

It's relative, and relax... If you just won a tournament beating some of the top teams in the world, 8th place wouldn't be considered doing too well. Yes, it's not failing hard and it's a decent accomplishment, but to be fair, I didn't think I'd have a bunch of guys jumping on my nuts for making an exaggeration.

it's vg, nip cph, ad and sk, hard to say in which order, too many good teams, ibuypower will hardly proceed to top5.

2013-11-06 16:19

2 replies

Tbh, I highly doubt SK, because they've been choking so hard lately, if they pull their shit together, it's possible, but still wouldn't be easy. CPH is definitely good, but incredibly inconsistent. And who knows how the fuck AD will perform with the massive roster change. So basically VG and NiP are the only definite top 5 teams. And you're probably right, but dazed is an amazing igl, and if any NA roster could stand a chance against the top EU teams, it's this one.

Actually Asian teams are good, they just don't get any recognition because they can't play online tournaments (pings, etc.). Let's not forget how fun it was to watch Asian teams in 1.6 with their creative style, all those boosts etc.

2 years ago perhaps, this is csgo. You are obviously living in the past. The main FPS games in asia is CS:O and some other free to play games. So to the question once again... in the present... have you seen an asian team played against a european team?

2013-11-06 18:47

2 replies

iNZEN was clearly talking about 1.6 and he replied to him scroll up..I am pretty sure they can still do better then the US teams

2013-11-06 19:44

1 reply

I was talking about 1.6 and someone posted a video of a Japanese or whatever it was some Asian tournament anyway, the stuff they were doing there was just pure Asian creative shit, their aim didn't seem to be bad at all. The reply saying they haven't played against any European teams doesn't prove whether they're bad or not. We could say that we think Europe is so good but again they haven't played against Asian teams so how do we know?

2013-11-06 21:00

So yeah there was some good 1.6 teams at one point - that's been quite a while though and it doesn't mean at all, that there will be good csgo teams; in source there were 0 good teams from Asia. Yeah, they could be decent, but there surely is no way of knowing that they are on level with the competitive scene that we know. Also, he clearly was not talking about 1.6 teams being good (he even only said they were fun to watch), but was 100% trying to argue that their csgo teams were good. Btw. if your profile age is correct I've been playing since you were 8, how's that for being new? xD

2013-11-07 00:30

To be quite honest with you i couldn't give two shits whether i was 8,4 or 12 when you started playing, why does this have anything to do with it? Why are you even arguing over the fact that some Asian teams might actually be good, just a pointless argument. btw. I've been playing since i was 7. Not that new mate.

2013-11-08 15:28

1 reply

First of all it wasn't a reply to you, but to sh4m3l355, who decided calling me "new" was a great way to undermine any argument I was trying to make. And I have never argued against that some Asian teams might be good, only against your statement that they are in fact good, but don't get any recognition for it. Of course it is possible that 5 Asians have somehow found out how to practice well enough to get on the same level as the top European teams, but I seriously doubt it, as there just isn't the same kind of competitive scene to do it in.

2013-11-08 16:52
