World Championships 2015 European Qualifier

Denmark pull out of TWC EU qualifier

30-9-2015 13:41

The Denmark national team have withdrawn from the European qualifier for The World Championships, captain Jacob "Pimp" Winneche has revealed.

Denmark were due to face the Netherlands later on Wednesday in the Round of 16 after finishing at the top of Group A, with four victories from five matches.

However, team captain Jacob "⁠Pimp⁠" Winneche has revealed that he is unable to put together a lineup to attend the offline finals, in Belgrade, next week, in case of qualification for the event. As a result, the dignitas player has withdrawn the team from the tournament.

Denmark won't play more in this years TWC. For the second year we fail to assemble a team to play the LAN finals should we qualify. 1/2

After a 1st place in the groupstage. I'm sorry to everyone following, bad timing, as well as lack of dedication causes this to happend. :(

Last year, Denmark missed the ESEC Finals due to similar issues, being replaced by Poland, who would finish runners-up to France.

TWC organisers E-frag.net have not yet stated whether the Netherlands will get a free pass to the season finals or will have to face a different opponent coming from the group stage.

2015-09-30 14:02

2015-09-30 14:03

Danish people should always pull out IMO

2015-09-30 14:05

There is alway the danger of pre-cum. Slight chance but it's there...

Yeah! cause the country pay to U play...

nothing to do with payment, but "honor" and "pride" to represent your country. Same with footballers and other sports, if that was me I'd be much more proud to play for Slovenia than to get 2423523523532525235m a year. there's things money can't be there for.

brazilians don't know what honor is, our people only focus on profit and we don't even like our country and culture. Brazilian's dream is move to another country.

2015-09-30 15:25

it's like that in most countries nowadays, including Slovenia :/

2015-09-30 15:26

Of course there is a lot of pride and honour to represent your country, but thinking they dont get paid is just stupid.

2015-09-30 15:49

Jeg var KLAR

2015-09-30 17:11

Du var født klar :D! Hvordan er dine guns efter så meget fravær fra CS :D?...

2015-09-30 18:05

ofc ofc, I'm just saying, representing your country should fill you with so much pride you shouldn't care if you only get paid 1% that you get for your club/team. In terms of football international games can often be the best way to showcase your talent too; look at all the south american players from WC now in european clubs!

2015-09-30 17:39

if you think footballers aren't (very well) payed to play on their national squads. kek... of course there is pride involved, but when you reach a stable career, $$$ > pride.

2015-09-30 18:33

and that's what's wrong ^^ they already get enough money from clubs, no need to whore for national money too when they get a little bit and can feel proud (in Slovenia footballers get payed SHIT for playing for our country).

2015-09-30 19:48

If tier 1 players don't want to play/ don't have time, why don't give tier 2/3 players a chance, i am sure they would go and play.

2015-09-30 14:10

No one gonna miss them anyway :D

2015-09-30 14:25

what was the lineup?

2015-09-30 14:35

expected :D

2015-09-30 14:37

Where are Denmark hate threads like there were when joelz didn't want to attend lan?

because the best players in denmark actually attend lan

2015-09-30 15:05

3 dig and 2 tsm players can't make it ?

2015-09-30 14:53

noobnark

2015-09-30 15:02

Again? Shame.

Yeah same question i have now, again..

2015-09-30 15:42

Well played instead of giving some other 'underdogs' danish a chance. Retard decision

I can't understand how players lack dedication when representing their countries. This should be in theory a great tournament but no one seems to care..

i never pull out :(

2015-09-30 15:06

We need another fucking Serbian team, and maybe disqualify even more teams so Serbia can add more of their own

2015-09-30 15:08

2015-09-30 17:38

I can sort of understand representing your country in CS:GO is not high on people's priority list. But why would anyone deliberately skip on an opportunity to win 50,000?

2015-09-30 15:12

This is a complete disgrace. I was greatly offended the first time..I'm now lost for words. You are the worst team manager to ever represent Denmark. Sorry.

Sad to see the neighbours go down like this, I want to write "expected" ever since I knew who was managing the squad, but it doesnt give me any satisfaction this time.

2015-09-30 15:34

If ppl dont got the time?

Figure that out before setting up the roster.

2015-09-30 15:43

True :P

2015-09-30 18:09

We have so many players, and even thou we might not qualify there should still be a squad big enough to finish the tournament.

2015-09-30 15:52

Agreed, but you know how the danish top scene is mate. :D

Haha yeah, if only you knew.

I have been following the national team since early clanbase days and basically all matches up until today. I know what i see. We have a management problem, when we fail this not once, but twice. Frankly i don't care about what internal factors caused this. That's not really relevant. As much as i like you, i'm sorry to say. You failed your assignment as team manager.

Shut your fucking mouth

2015-09-30 17:04

"Frankly i don't care about what internal factors caused this. That's not really relevant." Sorry but it kinda is seeing how you're making all these assumptions about Pimp.

Haha exactly. I was about to write a big elaboration, but HLTV refreshed it self, and it got lost. Nevertheless some keywords; 15 spots (NO MORE, all 15 already filled up, so not any room to work with there) TSM : Sponser deals, agreements made they can't break, understandable yet frustrating. SK: would not let two of their players play the tournament, while the rest of them had to skip an event: NPF (Denmarks biggest LAN event ever), understandable, yet frustrating. Same logic applies to Reason and us. Simply math: No one, yet everyone is indirectly responsible for this. I as a manager of the team could take full responsibility for it, but I won't, as I couldn't have done anything diffrently in my position. Had I felt I could've done more, I would be ashamed, yet the feeling i'm sitting back with is pure frustration over the fact that in the end we couldn't make a team for the finals. This is far from as detailed as I wished it to be, but still sums up my intial points. Blaming me, the players, anyone is useless. WE have to face that the timing in Denmarks biggest event, as well as the lan finals for this event, was just plain out horrible. I feel sad for the guys hosting this tournament, and for the true real fans out there. The rest of you, the idiots, the guys feeling the need to comment and make conclusions on things they don't even set them self into, to bad, could not care less. The fans, the hosts behind the tournament deserve an explanation, and they've got it, the rest..~~~

2015-09-30 18:45

Hey Pimp! Fuck it, I'll play xD

2015-09-30 18:51

Why do these 15 players even accept a spot, even if they cannot participate?

2015-09-30 18:52

right

2015-09-30 18:55

Sad to hear that there will be no danish team in the upcoming TWC :( Hopefully you can show up at Cluj instead! Cheers

2015-09-30 18:54

How can you NOT find some players for the team? It doesn't really matter what caused the problems, you WOULD be able to compete with a lineup, no matter what it is. If some of the best players were not able to compete or didn't want to, why not give the chance to some of the players playing in the lower teams then? Then they could actually prove themselves. I guess your selfish ego is too high for that. Unexpected decision from a insecure little kid. Sorry for the bad words, but the truth has been spoken. You failed your assignment as team manager :-)

2015-09-30 18:14

read #123

It doesn't change anything, simple as that :D

2015-09-30 19:05

oh okay. Pimp should have convinced TSM, SK, dignitas, and Reason to let their players play. denmark should have gone there with 5 shitters from the top7 danish team, what a disgrace by pimp

2015-09-30 19:08

That is still not what i said :-D

2015-09-30 19:17

Actually it's pretty much what you said.

2015-09-30 20:52

Don't worry guys, Efrag will invite a second Serbian team. It's tradition to have the host nation being represented twice, right?

fucking legos sort your shit out

HAH scared of the lanJ ? gg anyway

Another spot for Asia inc

2015-09-30 15:37

Noobs

2015-09-30 16:01

Scared of the Netherlands, can't blame em though.

Should just get new danish roster... #PUCK FIMP

2015-09-30 16:16

How the fuck can Denmark not make a team, they litteraly have 2 top 10 teams and SK with alot of players.

2015-09-30 16:18

yea wtf. They have TMS, dignitas, SK, reason etc They should be able to form some kind of team at least.

2015-09-30 16:47

Could be that we should have Added a bit less top players for the team, i mean not to be biased. but the guys who played for MTW/noproblem? probably had nothing to do, and would love to go for th experience.

Disgrace, there are at least 20 people who can play this and you cant get 5 man together? Joke

thats what happens when you organize this bullshit of "World Champions", why don't you just create normal tournament with normal teams?

2015-09-30 16:48

I think you have completely missed the point of "national teams"

2015-09-30 16:52

i didnt, esports just aren't on that level just yet, if they wanted to go that way they should have created a WCG-like type

CS is pretty much national teams 24/7 anyways with nearly all top teams only using players from same country

2015-09-30 17:52

And that's why WCG was a great event. Teams win their country qualifiers and go represent the country, unlike mixed teams here.

2015-09-30 19:25

#PIMPOUT am i right danes. Nicki Bille-Nielsen in pls, he would make a show at the event

2015-09-30 17:35

pull out game strong

2015-09-30 17:00

Can someone plz teach this guy some English? Never forget: i.imgur.com/7tlCZXE.png

2015-09-30 17:14

Too easy for NL

2015-09-30 18:36

People blaming Pimp are just stupid.

2015-09-30 18:53

The NPF prices are low so it cant be the money they are missing out of. The price for being number one in CSGO are just over 2.000 euro's. Then it has to be about the pride in doing a good LAN. But what pride is bigger than to attend the World Championship in your field?? Its not the first time. While i have been watching eSport i think its the third og fourth time...

2015-09-30 20:33

if you're gonna be the manager you should have all this pre planned, know your guys cant play and register guys that can. i know a few danish guys who would go crazy to play. forward planning, my friend.
