Australia qualify for World Ch'ships

In the Oceanic qualifier for World Championships, Australia beat New Zealand 2-0 in two best-of-threes (de_mirage 16-7, de_cbble 16-11; de_dust2 16-7, de_mirage 16-12) to qualify for the $100,000 finals in Belgrade in October.

This year's competition between nations was expanded to six regions, one of which is also Oceania, consisting of Australia and New Zealand, whose teams battled it out for one of the spots at World Championships.

The system chosen for the Oceanic match-up was three best-of-threes, although in the end Australia took the spot after two comfortable 2-0's.


SPUNJ's Australia secures a World Championships spot

Three different maps were played, as Australia secured both de_mirage battles in each of the best-of-threes, following two strong Counter-Terrorist sides.

Interestingly enough, both squads decided to change some of their lineup, as only Karlo "⁠USTILO⁠" Pivac stayed for both series for Australia and New Zealand swapped Anton "Yung" Eagle for Ryan "⁠zewsy⁠" Palmer.

i dont think theres anything official yet, but will probably be a combination of vox eminor and immunity players. maybe 1 or 2 players from teams like streamline or exile5 but i doubt it.

GoMeZ is the manager and captain of AU and Australia's lineup is his responsibility. He has to choose 5 players who'll come with him to Belgrade for the WC Finals.

Great isn't it? I always hoped to see a big world championship in CS GO with countries instead of teams, just like in football, teams are cool but there's just something special about countries playing against eachother :)
