Australia bows out of TWC 2015

8-9-2015 18:53

Australia is unable to field a lineup for The World Championships 2015 in Belgrade, Serbia despite qualifying due to a scheduling conflict for players on the Renegade and Immunity teams.

Despite being the first continental region to qualify for E-frag.net's The World Championships, taking place in Belgrade, Serbia from October 8-11, Oceania will have to make do without a contender this year as Australia has lost its spot in the final tournament.

The decision to renounce Australia's spot comes down to a scheduling conflict which involves players on both the Renegades and Immunity teams, who plan to take part in 55,555 AUD Crown's Invitational in Melbourne, Australia which will feature teams such as Virtus.pro and Cloud9.

Renegades have a tournament closer to home to attend

Since E-frag.net's rule for The World Championships specifies that no more than three players from a single team can compete, and since only four of the 14 players on Australia's roster are from different rosters than Renegades and Immunity, E-frag.net have decided to forfeit the team's slot.

Instead, the second group stage of the TWC Asian qualifier has been called off, as now all four teams automatically qualify for the TWC finals in Belgrade. This change means that the qualified teams for TWC 2015 are now:

Brazil	China
Canada	Vietnam
USA	Kyrgyzstan
Tunisia	Indonesia

The final eight teams of The World Championships will come through the European qualifier, which is currently ongoing.

Thanks!!!!!

2015-09-08 18:58

sad news for the aussies in addition to the news editor: [...] since only four of the 14 players on Australia's roster are from neither Renegades nor Immunity is badly written

Sooo, C9 and VP players would miss event too?

Yes, but the US roster has plenty of players, and Poland roster hasn't even been announced yet.

2015-09-08 19:18

Mb poles would decide to miss Crown's Invitational. I think The World Championship is more important for them than these money

Poland can just fill their roster with eBettle/Dobry members and they would be fine (if they were able to qualify)

2015-09-08 19:29

They would be fine but not able to win the title. I'll be disappointed if Neo, TaZ or Pasha would miss it

2015-09-08 19:31

I don't think so. At the end of the day it's just a glorified PUG tournament. Then again so is the football World Cup.

2015-09-09 04:16

send the nz team u fagss

they saw how serbs organized gaming paradise so they decided to leave xD

2015-09-08 19:00

e-frag and gaming.rs are different organisations.

2015-09-08 19:16

Maybe they're dodging the Serbian LAN :o

2015-09-08 19:01

No Renegades no Australia CS

2015-09-08 19:15

rofl

2015-09-08 19:17

Why no second slot for south america? i think argentina > freaking kyrgyzstan...

so instead of giving the slot to a 2nd south american or african team, they decide to give a 4th one to asia?

2015-09-08 19:22

Lets have 4 asian nations but only 1 south american right...? This shit is fucking ridiculous, fuck you TWC organizers.

2015-09-08 19:24

cry

2015-09-08 21:34

Majority of you brazilian guys are always thinking about the benefit of only your brazilian scene instead of all south american scene growing together getting more recognition about our level to maybe in a future be able to have SA qualifiers for tournaments... Do you really prefer to watch Kyrgyzstan, Vietnam or Indonesia in a international tournament like TWC instead of Argentina or maybe Chile when you know we are by far better than them because we have the possibility of training against good BR teams?

2015-09-08 21:57

2015-09-09 01:21

+1 People always expect Asia to arrive at the scene while good teams and players of other places are forgotten

2015-09-10 05:03

such a pain in the ass :S If only we had easier group.

2015-09-08 19:26

Feel sorry fo ya matey

LAN dodgers Kappa

2015-09-08 21:39

Why not just give the opportunity to other players like Ferg, Destiny, Apoc, Dizzy, and Deo they can easily compete at the event

2015-09-08 21:49

i had destiny and ferg in my team they declined as well. Nobody knew Crown was coming when I chose my lineup.

2015-09-09 02:30

That's what Gomez gets for just blanket picking three teams rather than the actual best

2015-09-08 21:51

Kyrgyzstan? Am I dreaming?

2015-09-08 22:13

Wow, this is gonna impact the Polish, American and Canadian teams too. Poland will have to send ex-G2+two randoms, and USA will have to send a T3/female mix team, and Canada will be without their leader lel

2015-09-08 22:16

watwat

2015-09-08 22:35
