Kinguin to attend DH Summer BYOC

4-6-2015 18:00

Team Kinguin will attend the BYOC qualifier for DreamHack Summer, Mikail "Maikelele" Bill has revealed.

After little over a month of online action, Team Kinguin are ready to make their first LAN appearance as they will be competing in the BYOC qualifier for Dreamhack Summer's $40,000 CS:GO tournament.

The top two sides from this qualifier, to be held on June 13, will advance to the main tournament, in which they will be joined by six other teams, including Swedish duo Ninjas in Pyjamas and fnatic.

Maikelele & co ready to attend their first offline event

Kinguin's results have so far been mixed, but their 2-0 victory over Virtus.pro last week in the Alienware Area51 Cup proved that they are capable of facing the best in the world head-on. Still, that one result certainly will not erase memories of the early exit in SLTV StarSeries XIII following defeats against Gamers2 and EnVyUs.

Going to @DreamHackOpen BYOC next week. First LAN tournament for my team! LETS GO! ! #TeamKinguin

The full list of participants for the BYOC qualifier has not yet been revealed, but it is believed that other top teams will be taking part in the tournament. dignitas' Jacob "⁠Pimp⁠" Winneche recently confirmed that his team will try their luck in the qualifier.

This will be the first of two offline events that Team Kinguin have lined up for the next two weeks, the other one being the Central European ESWC qualifier, in Warsaw, from June 19-21.

Haha haha your comment is a bigger joke than the NA scene. Norway only think they are good because they are close to actually good countries like Denmark and Sweden

Have EVER NA been close lately? or? ehh? Ha.. Rather having Russians as ally than stupid brainwashed Americans :>

2015-06-06 08:15

Nope. I think we're good because we can beat Swedish and Danish teams. Besides, you shouldnt talk shit, last time a Norwegian team played against an NA team, you lost(it was your top team too) Now fuck off.

2015-06-06 19:46

Wow, just what u expect from ignorant American. "Think they are good" they are good... and Norway is known for having some of the most talented cs players for a long time. Ever heard of Team Nova?

2015-06-06 21:52

Ever heard of team3d?

2015-06-07 05:21

LGB easily was better than all the american teams.The reason that we're even having the discussion, that america can barely even beat norway, is embarrassing in itself ^^

2015-06-07 10:42

This isn't ur fight swelitist

2015-06-08 18:01

Ha ha u have to remember Ur useless. And however Scandinavia -> Na you little twat. Ur so useless, stop replying with Ur brain dead sentences, no one cares..stupid delusional American. I bet ur on of those rednecks hanging around, u got nothing on us!

Remember that Brazilian Team that bootcamped in Europe for weeks and was hyped in some DH in 1.6 and lost against a lower swedish mix/team in the first round? I'm seeing that happening with Kinguin. Mark my words

2015-06-04 18:35

they will do well, they are already having better results vs top teams, than most shity teams that are around for some time now,

2015-06-04 18:40

Disband. Coming soon :D

I don't know why so much hate has circulated towards Kinguin. Then again, this is HLTV.org in a nutshell. They have proven that they got potential to make it to the top if they keep practicing. You need to start watching the actual matches instead of just reading the results. The mistakes they make, are mistakes that you can easily learn from and mostly synergy issues due to not knowing eachother so well. But this is stuff you can practice if you play alot :) GLHF Kinguin. Will be rooting for ya!

2015-06-04 19:21

indeed, most people here just check the stats in the end of the game

2015-06-04 19:24

they are going to get raped :(... NEVER take virtus pro as a measure! They can lose against a Tier 90000 team...but than rip TSM 1-16 apart! on a map that was favoured to tsm... so pls .. I hope they will win some matches tho :)

2015-06-04 19:28

It was 4-16, AND they were not favorites. And btw, TSM played 5 matches before the vp match.. soso?

2015-06-05 08:09

still.. vp isn't consistant... I DO LIKE THEM! but the truth hurts..

2015-06-05 09:32

Move your boddy KINGUIN!! Let's go!!

2015-06-04 19:41

2015-06-04 19:48

Kinguin have a lot of potencial to qualify for dreamhack summer 2015, and if they can get a way to go over the qualifiers, that would be great. Good luck for the kinguin team. :)
