BIG replace fnatic at DreamHack Winter

10-11-2017 14:44

Following fnatic's decision to pull out of next month's DreamHack Open Winter, the Swedish tournament organizer announced BIG as the replacement.

fnatic have decided to skip the annual CS:GO event in Jönköping, Sweden, the team has announced today. The decision is a result of both schedule-related and personal issues, that will also see the Swedish side play the WESG EU&CIS Finals with Ludvig "⁠Brollan⁠" Brolin instead of Freddy "⁠KRIMZ⁠" Johansson.

BIG will be competing at the Elmia Convention Centre

Replacing the Swedes are BIG, who finished second at DreamHack Open Denver and are currently the #18 team in our ranking.

Currently, the six invited teams are known for DreamHack Open Winter, while the last two teams will be decided by the European and North American qualifiers, which were announced yesterday.

This is how the team list looks at the moment:

Envy	Gambit
HEROIC	MOUZ
Natus Vincere	BIG
EU Qualifier	NA Qualifier

wow no home team gg

I legitimitley think they should redo all the invites or maybe only remove the qualifier and just invite a different swedish team to that spot

They should just postpone it. Fnatic deserve to be there and I want to see them at LAN.

2017-11-10 16:09

Postpone DHW? u know it's a big lan festival going on during the event right?

2017-11-10 17:23

They can't postpone a whole dh because of the time schedule of 1 team tho

2017-11-10 17:45

As the people above me have stated - I think it's kinda impossible to postpone. It's around 30000 visitors to Dreamhack Winter. Of those 30000 visitors it's just under 17000 connected computers. :) It's kinda big so hell will probably break lose if they try to change the dates! But I still agree with you in some way since it's sad that DHW won't have a swedish team.

2017-11-10 18:01

from my intel it is 20K that bring computer and many of them has already booked seats for 150$ each.

2017-11-10 23:43

Yes, I actually meant just under 20000! =D My bad!

2017-11-11 11:31

Yep, postponed to 12-15 of January because fnatic not need to qualifies at major

2017-11-11 09:59

NiP might qualifier for it

2017-11-10 16:37

i think they didnt want to... atleast what i heard

2017-11-10 17:39

2017-11-10 14:45

fnatic landodgers LUL

wtff

no bug no win

wasted spot lul

HellRaisers > BIG why BIG invite

Starting to look more and more like a 2nd to 3rd tier event. Sad, since it was so big a couple of years ago.

Same as every dh event in a way :d

2017-11-12 11:43

OOO YES

Solid t2 event

That looks like a quite underwhelming line-up now, at least with fnatic they had a hometown hero

2017-11-10 14:46

This is still very good for a tier 2 event Gambit is low tier 1,they have some really good players mousesports is high tier 2,they have a lot of potential Na'Vi with the new lineup they can be a top team in the future,they have the pieces Envy,BIG and Heroic are all fine teams that could have upsets

2017-11-10 14:55

lol everyone is skipping over this garbage event, no surprise there, why even bother with 100k events nowadays I guess

event is only two days so ez money though

2017-11-10 15:26

2017-11-10 15:57

I Think that it really sucks that the Swedish teams does not prioritize their fans actually.

2017-11-10 22:32

big is way better on lan than on internet. remember that

2017-11-10 14:51

no offense. big is not that good anymore. But I agree. these are all decent top tier 2 teams.

2017-11-10 15:52

Agree this event they actually have chance to win.

2017-11-10 15:28

i disagree, the esl pro league finals is 2 days after, i think they wanna focus on that since thats a tier 1 event

Where is NiP?

2017-11-10 15:03

Onliners landodging. Shocked.

2017-11-10 16:27

And there isn't a swedish team invited to the qualifier. R.I.P Hopefully the swedes can get someone to represent them in Jönköping.

2017-11-10 15:39

Dont worry me, Maikelele & pronax will qualify tomorrow through Open Qualifiers to represent Sweden ;) #Believe?

2017-11-10 19:34

Why not 2 EU Qualifier spots? :(

2017-11-10 15:49

expected from onliners

2017-11-10 15:54

Fnatic will never get to play on a lan BabyRage/BibleThump They will never get to prove the haters wrong :/

2017-11-10 16:04

esl pro league finals is 2 days later i think fnatic rather focus on that tbh since its a much more high prestige event. and they will prove all the haters wrong just a matter of time considering how the new lineup has looked recently
