Assembly has announced the names of the four teams who have been invited to play at the upcoming Winter event.

The Helsinki Exhibition and Convention Centre will stage from February 5-6 the 2016 edition of the renowned Assembly LAN, which will feature an international CS:GO tournament with €15,000 in prize money.

Four of the eight tournament spots will be filled through invites, which have been issued to Aleksi "⁠allu⁠" Jalli's ENCE, Vexed Gaming, CSGO.one and LDLC.White.

They probably won't qualify, why should they be mad?

Because they need to qualify. Of course you want invite, and i think RCTIC thought that they got more rewards than CSGO.One or LDLC White. Thats why they got "mad" but I think also that they qualify easily.

2016-01-12 18:04

London Conspiracy, CG, Team YP, LDLC Blue, Reason, myRevenge.dk, unu.AIN, myRevenge e.V., SpaceSoldiers, LionsEK, ExpertGaming etc. meh I think they'll have a hard time qualifying.

2016-01-12 18:13

Yep, not going to be easy but I trust that they can do it. =)

2016-01-12 16:58

I aren't think that

2016-01-12 17:17

yea cause mouz have been in so many finals. So.. many.

2016-01-12 21:00

Oh wait, they were on APM finals and managed to lose even with upperbracket advantage :>

2016-01-13 16:50

Ence will go to katowice 2016 ez, ugly logo tho ;_;

2016-01-12 17:21

Nice black, red and gold combination, but wtf is that thing in the middle supposed to be?

2016-01-12 18:50

Idk D:

2016-01-12 19:12

its the lord cthulhu. No its supposedly enceladus or something like that

2016-01-13 02:17

ez allu

ez for rallen

tier4

Twista so mad that they didn't get invited. This is going to be pretty bad tournament without better teams but at least now Ence has a chance to win without being that long together.

so you're saying rctic is better than those teams invited? lolz

2016-01-12 16:04

no, he said it's bad tournament cause no good teams and Twista is mad

2016-01-12 16:12

There is no big teams cuz ''only'' 15k prize pool.

2016-01-12 16:14

Well LondonC, CG, Reason, Team YP, LDLC etc. in the qualifier so it's questionable if they will even be close to qualify.

2016-01-12 16:27

Not even questionable i'd say. Questionable however is how useful this tournament with tier 3 foreign teams + finnish team is for finnish scene

2016-01-12 17:03

I think it's a great chance for others as decent opponents are hard to find.

2016-01-12 17:06

2016-01-12 17:07

What is CSGO.One?

2016-01-12 16:01

rctic suck so much i dont get why they are mad about not getting invite

Well look at that, finally a tournament GOAT ALLU can win.

2016-01-12 16:08

JOelzlzlz

2016-01-12 16:53

the only reason why ENCE even is there is because of Allu's name..

like it being a finnish lan didnt matter? eesti logic ftw

2016-01-12 17:13

finnish being in a finnish LAN has nothing to do with logic.

2016-01-12 18:31

But your logic says that ence's there only because of allu?

2016-01-12 20:39

wtf u talking? :D they are there because its they are the only known team in finland. stop being stubid, they would be there without allu anyway.

2016-01-13 16:18

Hellraisers ?

It's LAN.

2016-01-12 19:05

Someone plz tell me another fucking country which organizes tournaments mostly for foreign teams?:D

2016-01-12 17:26

Cluj Napoca, ESL one dubai, gaming paradise 0 teams from that country was there and in assembly there is one

2016-01-13 15:15

Ok fine you answered to my question :D You think those are comparable with assembly?

2016-01-13 19:06

2016-01-13 02:38

Ez for Vexed, ENCE too nervous in front of home crowd + first LAN.

2016-01-12 18:40

ez for ence

2016-01-12 18:42

Why team like CSGO.One is invited?

2016-01-12 22:31

mad cuz no rctic?

2016-01-13 01:34

Nope, not really. Just can't understand what is the point to invite team that has played couple online games, they should not even be considered to be invited, i actually have no idea which teams were applying for invite, but i find it hard to believe that there was not a single team that would be more "qualified" to be invited. This is really good example of the event organizing skills here in Finland.

2016-01-13 01:39

I mostly agree. But im pretty sure csgoone qualfied for the minor too. So i guess they have some skill.

2016-01-13 02:44

Yup, it is not about the skill, the problem is that there were teams applying that have done a lot more and longer work to become a team that is even considered as a team not a mix. :D

2016-01-13 23:57

tbh.. ence shouldnt get the invite.. They should have put rctic in there instead. But im sure csgo.one has been a team for more than 2 months. Idk, i dont see them as a mix. I know them from when they beat VP with s1mple, thats quite a long time ago
