TWC team list complete

22-9-2016 17:45

With the European qualifier coming to an end, the nations list for The World Championships 2016, running from October 6-9 in Belgrade, is complete.

Three spots were on offer in Europe's qualifier for 2016's edition of TWC, featuring eight nations from all over the world battling for $100,000 in prizemoney.

The qualifier consisted of three stages, the last of which started with four GSL groups of four. Most of the presumed favourites made it out, aside from Russia whose squad exited the competition early following losses to Belgium and Turkey.

Sweden powered through the last stage without much resistance

Sweden put together a formidable lineup including players of fnatic, GODSENT, Ninjas in Pyjamas and Epsilon, and marched on to the final, securing one of the spots without losing a map in the process.

Denmark became the other finalists with wins over Belgium and a strong French lineup. The latter then fielded a roster without any of the members of Envy and G2 in the third-place decider versus Kazakhstan, who edged the Frenchmen following a narrow five-map affair.

The World Championships 2016 will feature the following nations:

Tunisia	Canada	Singapore	Argentina
Australia	Denmark	Sweden	Kazakhstan

The format of the $100,000 event taking place in Belgrade, Serbia, is expected to be announced later this week.

Good luck to all the teams!

A team doesn't become a top team just because they beat a top team once. That's why this TWC is so interesting, because there are many countries that people didn't expect to go through.

2016-09-22 17:57

If Brazil and France had decided to use their best players and if China and USA had not dropped out, this could've been a decent LAN. Instead we're just gonna have Sweden and Denmark roflstomping the others.

Its good idea to have tournament like this.. But it isnt organizers fault that better CS nations like France, Poland, Brasil, China or USA didnt make it. France had their C team in 3rd placed match (where were G2 players??). Poland lost to Kazakhstan in groups and got thougher opponent in bracket. Brasil lost to Argentina. Chinese players didnt submit for visas in time.. And USA couldnt form a team for finals. Ideal 8 nations in this format would be: Dennmark, Sweden, France, USA, Brasil, China, Australia and African nation (doesnt matter too much). I mean ideal, if they play with best players.

They should have 12 spots for this final. It's riddiculous that Europe only have 3 spots, and africa have 1. I get the concept of "world cup" and therefore there must be one for them. Kind of obvious that it's because E-Frag doesn't affoard to send off more teams to the tournament.
