ESWC invite fnatic, NiP, Cloud9, more

17-9-2014 13:19

ESWC have announced six invitations to the $50,000 tournament to be held in the beginning of November in Paris, France.

The French organizers have previously announced that the 2014 version of ESWC, to be held at Paris Games Week from October 29 to November 2, will feature a $50,000 prize purse.

Four teams, namely iBUYPOWER, Virtus.pro, Canadian Mobility Gaming and Japanese Cipangu.GO have previously qualified for the event, which has now added six more teams:

fnatic	NiP	Cloud9
dignitas	KaBuM	Planetkey Dynamics

A total of 24 teams will take part in ESWC 2014, which will see nine more teams qualify from national qualifiers and three from ESEA's European online ESWC qualifier.

Additionally, two more spots' fate will be announced at a later date. You can find out a list of all attending teams and remaining qualifiers on ESWC's website.

I know this has nothing to do with any of the teams you guys are talking about but I hope C9 comes out ahead of iBP at this event like they do at every other event, and possibly beating them? feels like C9 doesn't even try when playing iBP, feels terrible to watch.

iBP have already qualified, no need for an invite.

2014-09-17 15:35

They will join in Paris the already qualified teams: iBUYPOWER, Virtus.Pro Mobility Gaming and Cipangu.GO, and a few other from upcoming national qualifiers like Denmark.

yeah their fundraiser is definitely lacking funds lol. Nobody is going to sponsor them to go either since their a fairly unknown team even in the NA scene. I believe they are like a 1.7w/l in ESEAp.

2 replies

They actually just got a sponsor, Aware Gaming, who is sending them to ESWC. HLtv just hasn't updated the team name.

2014-09-17 15:26

they are 11-4. not too shabby, alas savage and adren's team are rekking esea-p. still they re not so far off of invite. and if you consider the na scene, apart from ibp or c9 they re all nonames for the rest of the world. skill level is not that different tho.

Wooh! I remember Hiko saying on his stream that they would get an invite if their sponsor wanted to send them. Really glad that they did. Also, Brazilian and Japanese teams will make things very exciting! -Mobility +DENIAL

Mobility weren't invited they qualified... Seems kinda harsh to not let them use their qualified spot.

2014-09-17 13:55

1 reply

I'm aware that Aware/Mobility qualified, but seeing as they had to appeal to crowd funding, of which they got ~$1.500 of the ~$8.000 needed, to send them to ESWC. So in the case that they not go, I think DENIAL should get the spot instead of it going to waste.

Hoping IBP can make it farther this LAN or they need some changes. C9 as usual will do alright since they are just so damn comfortable offline

2014-09-17 14:20

1 reply

I hope they (C9) make it farther this time just like every other event, whereas iBP fails to, even with more bootcamp time. I hope C9 can get a proper bootcamp (if they can) in this time, sure it's not a prize of 250k, but 50k is still pretty nice.

2014-09-17 20:03

With a 16-13 to LDLC and a 16-9 to Dignitas Vox have proved they're better then most international sides (bar c9 and iBP) of competing. If they were to play a Gfinity where they'd have 6-7 games I'd expect them to put on a clinic.

A big problem is hapenning in algeria, about the qualifier i guess you guys already received statments , a lot of players from algeria are trying to send a statement, me personnally , a lot of teams declined their participation to the qualifier already , it was like 25 teams partciparing , now most of them already declined , it's really sad tbh, especially when theres a lot of teams here and big motivation to just participate to the electtnic worle cup.
