DreamHack has announced that Evil Geniuses have been invited to the upcoming summer tournament.

The American team is now the fifth side confirmed at the tournament, which will run from June 13 to 16.

Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen, who left Finland in April to pursue a gaming career in the United States, will now have the chance to go head-to-head with some of his former team-mates, now playing for r00tz.

Meanwhile, DreamHack has revealed that it plans to invite two more teams, whose names will be revealed in the near future.

The participants' list for DreamHack Summer looks now as follows:

SK Gaming
Begrip Gaming
Aimbat
r00tz
Evil Geniuses

What has EG done that's so amazing to be getting all these invites and attendance at high events? Nothing. Let's see you win a match here.. LOLOLOL.

This isnt such a big event really.....only like 10 000 $ prize i think.

2009-05-21 16:22

1 reply

Just because the event doesn't feature $150,000 doesn't mean it isn't of high value.

2009-05-22 06:22

n0thing.

2009-05-22 14:04

WHY?

2009-05-21 17:25

r00tz!!! imo there's no point inviting american teams becaus right now the furthest they are gonna get is quarter finals ^^. maybe in 2,3 years :D we'll see : D

2009-05-21 17:35

good luck EG and yes i think it will be a good battle between EG and rootz, but both teams play on a proffesional level and whoever they play against, have no feelings at all, they just want to win.
