Energy eSports invited for ESWC

26-9-2014 13:20

The ESWC organisers have announced that South African side Energy eSports have been invited to attend the upcoming world finals.

Energy eSports have become the latest side to receive an invitation to attend the ESWC finals, where they will be joined by another team from Africa, the winner of the Algerian qualifier.

Formerly known as c7e, the South African side made history when they won the first CS:GO tournament in the country, Telkom Do Gaming Insta-Clash Cup November 2013, following a 3-2 victory over Eternal Conflict in the final.

James "⁠zerOchaNce⁠" Wijnberg's side will take the spot that had initially been allocated to Bahrain, which will no longer organise a qualifier for the French event.

Energy eSports will attend the ESWC finals with:

Thulani "⁠LighteRTZ⁠" Sishi
James "⁠zerOchaNce⁠" Wijnberg
Ruan "⁠ELUSIVE⁠" van Wyk
Tiaan "⁠T.c⁠" Coertzen
Ashton "⁠Golz⁠" Muller

Below you can find the list with the teams that have already qualified and with the qualifiers and affiliated tournaments that have been announced:

they have not money to pay the trip, btw they were invited, but declined

2014-09-26 15:15

Games Academy had to use their own money to cover the travel costs to Europe, so I doubt ESWC supports travel costs.

2014-09-26 20:54

Good event but I miss Korean and Australin slot. I hope next year more natíonal qualifiers. good luck

2014-09-26 15:14

finally

2014-09-26 15:27

Does the race quota apply to esports as well in SA like in cricket?

Where the fuck is Malaysia/Singapore ?

2014-09-26 15:37

Seriously how can there be no SE Asian csgo qualifier. But there is one for "Bahrain" or "S Africa". Singapore/Malaysia are mad for online games. Back in the day there was FMJ Invictus and GBR Grudge. GBR played in the CPL, WCG. And there were Malaysian and Singapore teams in the CGS.

2014-09-27 04:29

No UK? :(

2014-09-26 16:32

Haha you have to be shitting me? Except that you are the most dire people to come across after the russians you guys have no stable CSGO community. The Lone Rangers are just another high team out there. They would be eaten by the European semi and elite teams... And dont take this offensive. Just facts.

2014-09-26 16:54

They would be eaten by the European semi and elite teams... so would anyone outside EU/NA. Besides, UK is EU.

2014-09-26 18:05

Vox Eminor proved them self to have what it takes to fight the top semis in the world. Yes so what if its bart of the European Union and continent? It still dosent stop the other European teams to eat them? You should like add a quota of how much shit you people should smoke before trying to be smart...

2014-09-28 14:47

If we never get the opportunity, we won't be able to prove ourselves though.

Well you left me speachless there. One day you will have 2-3 top teams.

2014-09-28 14:45

Infinitely better than a Bahrein team for sure

2014-09-26 16:52

Who are these Bahrain teams!!!??? Hell what will those teams do now that they don't have quali!!???
