FG, EG.us & HR win WCG qualifiers

28-9-2009 00:36

FireGamers and Evil Geniuses came from behind to win their respective WCG qualifiers, in a very busy weekend.

On de_train, mibr made little use of the advantage of starting as CT, as they could not get more than eight rounds. Although FG did not fare much better in defensive affairs, some good play in the last rounds saw them take a late 16-14 win to restore parity in the tie.

The next map was de_inferno, where FG were simply too hot to handle, with Lincoln "fnx" Lau returning to his old form as he helped his side take an 11-4 lead at the break. In the second half, FG confirmed their good moment as they took the necessary five rounds to leave mibr in despair.

In the United States, Evil Geniuses too came from the Lower Bracket to win the WCG qualifier. Playing with a stand-in, Travis "tuBBy" Bechtol, instead of Finnish veteran Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen, it looked like this would go down to Turmoil after they won the first half of de_inferno 11-4. However, EG pulled off an impressive comeback to win the map 16-14.

On de_nuke, EG started better as they strolled to a 12-3 result at half time. The former Gravitas team then responded in the second half, but it was too much to come back from, as EG would get their fourth round to win it 16-13.

Evil Geniuses have secured paid travel and accomodation to the WCG Finals, while Turmoil have been given direct entry into the competition, but will have to support all the costs themselves.

Elsewhere, HellRaisers won the Ukrainian WCG qualifier following an intense 2-1 win over Amazing Gaming. After winning CGL IV last weekend, A-Gaming were the big favourites here, but they were unable to move past KerchNET this time around.

After winning de_train 19:17 in overtime, HellRaisers lost 16-13 on de_inferno. A-Gaming could not find themselves on de_tuscan, as HellRaisers came out 16-4 winners to emerge victorious in the qualifier.

2009-09-28 01:34

2009-09-29 18:29

Well, I think they're far from the top really, they don't face teams tough enough. Nice rhymes there baby!

2009-09-29 18:32

Well this is just my opinion, BUT tbh i think cogu is the maddest awp in the world. if mibr hadn't cogu i could say they wouldnt have gone very far there, mby 5-8th place

2009-09-28 14:04

MIRAA, you must be going nuts covering 3 qualifiers simultaneously :P. Take your time, just please make sure you upload POV's for fnx/FalleN/nak/cogu for WCG Brazil, and fRoD/n0thing for WCG USA, if possible (as in if there were any recorded). Btw, you're doing a great job!

aplause !

2009-09-28 16:22

In Brazil, FireGamers joined mibr in the Grand Final after a very close 16-14 win over playArt in the Consolidation Final, but proved they were anything but out of the discussion for a spot in Chengdu as they secured a 2-1 win." Was it a 2-1 win over PlayArt or mibr? Because they won 2-0 over mibr. Great article anyway! Keep doing your thing

2009-09-29 17:50

ya, upload a replays of brazilian qualifier! thats a nice championship!

2009-09-28 04:12

2009-09-28 11:29

Nice FG!!!! GL!

EG and Turmoil are going for USA

i dont know much about american 1.6. do u think turmoil will have the funding to make it to WCG?

2009-09-28 12:56

2009-09-28 22:48

2009-09-28 01:11

It has just been an insane weekend and all I can say right now is best of luck to all the teams that made it to the end of their qualifiers. Good luck to everyone, especially EG! :D And great coverage by everyone at HLTV.org especially MIRAA as always! :D

2009-09-28 01:24

proplay.ru wrote that both HR and A-Gaming are qualified for WCG 2009. Is that right ?

2009-09-28 01:27

right

But I doubt A-Gaming have the funds to fly over there by themselves.

2009-09-28 01:46

if A-Gaming cant travel is the slot opened up to other teams from the Ukranian qualifier?

2009-09-28 12:57

Yes.

2009-09-28 22:50

sad a-gaming you'r amazing. see what i did there?

AG have tried their best, HR playde extremly good 6 hours ago, so they get the qualify.

2009-09-28 02:05

Yeah and it wasn't funny. :P

damn i remember mibr was really good what happenned they attending barely any events and losing to teams in brazil? but GL to EG, HR, and FG, i was hoping for coL to go there as well

2009-09-28 01:52

But EG and coL encounted with each other in the loser bracket, so only one of them. A pity for coL, but to say frankly, coL's defendence is bad at dust2 and train. They have tried their best, but they are lack of Competition Experience. If they take part in more Competitions, they will succeed

2009-09-28 02:10

mibr, had fnx, and more 2 players of FG, now they left n they are better than mibr, just that.

2009-09-28 03:41

coL lost to both Turmoil and EG so they didn't deserve it apparently. :)

2009-09-28 22:51

OMG,so sad to heard MIBR was out

2009-09-28 02:15

mibr isnt out they have a spot to the finals but they have to pay the travel, hotel, etc. They have to win any EM. (they'll win american EM then they go to wcg finals).

2009-09-28 19:37

Very intense games there :D

congrats to FG and gl to them in Cheng Du. EG FTW!

2009-09-28 02:20

DEMO NEEDED

2009-09-28 02:52

Check 'Demo section'.

2009-09-28 17:00

if FG don´t get the sponsors from mibr in the final of the year cogu is out and also spacca to give place to fnx and nak but fallen is also good.

2009-09-28 03:08

in my opinion i think that the mibr sponsors should trade home and not the players. its time to have new international teams in brasil with the same quallity of FG

2009-09-28 11:33

mibr is tradition sponsors wont trade them for none team in brazil. Mibr is going to chengdu today i hope they get a top 3 and at american EM they win and pay to go to wcg finals at china.

2009-09-28 19:36

I'd like FG win the game.and All the results is in my expected.the WCG game will be more interesting.

2009-09-28 03:26

eg were ov gonna win

2009-09-28 03:29

congrats to FG,EG & Hellraisers

2009-09-28 03:49

Well, I saw the match, it was a great match betwen MIBR and FG.. Also I must say the true, FNX used to play very well, for me, I would consider him the best player from brasil.

2009-09-28 04:18

in my opinion he is too x)

2009-09-28 11:35

o0..lineup FG please.

2009-09-28 04:28

bruno falleN nak fnx prd

2009-09-28 04:40

nice lineup, great players, thx)

2009-09-28 04:48

fallen amazing player MONSTER FROM AWP

2009-09-28 06:07

"Evil Geniuses have secured paid travel and accomodation to the WCG Finals, while Turmoil have been given direct entry into the competition, but will have to support all the costs themselves." Does that go for AG and MiBR as well? Or is only one team allowed in the competition from those countries? Also, good work on the coverage MIRAA and the rest involved, thanks.

2009-09-28 06:32

UA had also 2 spots, that means AG has to pay themselves..

2009-09-28 06:39

Wow, just arrived in Chengdu and I read this. 3 times unexpected.

2009-09-28 06:51

mibr fail :S

2009-09-28 07:31

bit will cry!!

2009-09-28 07:39

a lot LOL

NICE FireGamers GOOD fnx

2009-09-28 07:42

ahahahah bit's sad face LOL

2009-09-28 08:44

complexity really let me down. what bad timing to have a bad day at cs.

2009-09-28 08:51

fg:X i wanna see bit now btw does MiBR have a spot or not?

2009-09-28 08:58

yes, they do but they'll only go to china if they pay all by themselves. So they have to be well placed at the EM's arround the world to make some money. Because the organization wont pay for them go to a event to lose.

2009-09-28 19:30

I'm so happy with HR! After loosing so many times with other ukraine teams (CGL and EMq) they finally won the most important match! Wish them best at WCG Finals

2009-09-28 09:08

they won only due to a map on which this Tushkan does not almost play in Ukraine, if there was any other I am sure that Ag would win

2009-09-28 10:37

so we can say that HR won tuscan cuz they play it often at internation scene, so they won cuz of their experience

2009-09-28 10:44

Well, both HR and AG are Ukrainian, so it's the same conditions? It's up to AG to practice it if they know it might be played, and that they need to!

2009-09-28 22:54

haha right!

I hate stupid excuses. You can't say HR wasn't the better team?

2009-09-29 18:19

actually, i can. people are strange ;]

2009-09-29 21:23

How?

oh, i guess it was my english fail. i meant that HR was better, sorry ^^

2009-09-29 21:25

Good. :D

2009-09-29 21:29

from Ukraine 2 Teams too

2009-09-28 10:07

pov's please

2009-09-28 11:48

Watched all the 3 finals...and all were close except for the last match between FG vs Mibr..but i enjoyed them all..!! HellRaisers, FG & Turmoil were my favourites to win these qualifiers... EG snatched the win out of Turmoil's mouth... GL Teams and i hope FG reaches top3 atleast!

2009-09-28 12:04

gl HR in China:)

2009-09-28 12:17

it looked like on inferno, FG "knew" what cogu would do almost every round as CT. cogu is an amazing entryfragger with his AWP, and that fuck's up a lot of teams tactics. but FG managed to avoid cogu's position almost every round, giving them a better chance(imo) to take over the sites. that made cogu's job harder, since he had to re-take the sites almost every round. he is probably the source to MiBR's style of playing. looked like they knew exactly where he would go every round. so IMO, tactical win by FG

nice one mate, but then again, all of those 10 players know each other pretty damn well i guess! :)

2009-09-28 13:06

yeah i know that too : p was somekind of a tribute to the mastermind that is calling the shots for FG. who is the caller in FG btw? NAK?

2009-09-28 15:30

yeah yeah... stratcaller = nak

2009-09-28 19:11

They lost 16-6 at inferno earlier in the tournament, they probably learned a lesson. :)

hahahah fucking MIB:)))) losers

2009-09-28 13:00

i love Hellraisers gl guys

2009-09-28 13:28

gg HR!

2009-09-28 14:06

infact 2nd ukranian quota is only a possibility to buy that quota, which costs omfg money =/

2009-09-28 14:08

You don't have to buy it, you just have to pay for your travels and accomodations and stuff. :P

2009-09-28 22:55

accomodation and staff costs 1500$ for 1 player (flight not included) =P i was in asia recently - cant believe 3-4 days in China can cost so much))

2009-09-30 16:39

Yes I know it's expensive, my point was just that you don't buy a spot and pay to WCG or something, you just don't get any help getting to Chengdu. :)

2009-10-02 23:56

Gratz to all teams!

2009-09-28 14:11

bit got kinda gayed here :D

2009-09-28 14:17

so happy for fg,especially after mibr tried to destroy the lineup by taking bit in,having said that,fg played a grudge match vs mibr and maybe isnt even better than mibr,just had bigger motive :D

2009-09-28 14:27

upload PoV's from all these 3 quals asap!

2009-09-28 16:19

I just love that FG beat mibr! fnx over cogu any day!

2009-09-28 16:57

line-up hellraisers?

2009-09-28 18:04

edward,markeloff,johnta,volt,ange1

2009-09-28 18:36

Wow both Edward AND markeloff are in HR? I had no idea o_o, those two are insane! Definitely gonna watch their matches at the finals. It'd be nice if they also had Zeus in the line-up though :(.

2009-09-28 20:33

Zeus instead of v0lt and WOW!

2009-09-28 22:56

congratz fg!

2009-09-28 18:31

oh, nice!

2009-09-28 18:39

hahaha mibr more hahahahha bit GG FG and EG

2009-09-28 18:59

MIRAAA It will not be available to demo FG x PlayArt and Mibr vs PlayArt?

2009-09-28 19:00

Nice switch between fg and mibr :) bit is overrated..

2009-09-28 22:22

C'mon you guys. I agree that fallen was really great at this tournament. But don't start to compare him to a legend like cogu, cogu had to shine for years at mibr to be considered what he is, and you guys say fallen is better than him because of the weekend? LOL

2009-09-28 23:32
