mTw has won the Danish World Cyber Games qualifier by deafeating Spirit of Amiga 2-1 in the last match of the group.
The qualifier should have had a Grand Final, but due the shopping mall closing, and the event being delayed, the last group stage match decided the winner.
The last group stage match consisted of mTw taking on Spirit of Amiga. As time went on and the closing hours closened for the shopping mall Illum, the organizers went to say, should mTw win, then they would go to Chengdu, while should Spirit of Amiga win, then a final map would be play to determine who would go.
First map saw mTw starting as T on train, taking a 8-7 lead. As CT things did not click right for mTw, leading to Spirit of Amiga going for the 15-15 score. In two times overtime, Spirit of Amiga secured the win on train, with a 22-19 score. Moving to dust2, mTw went with a strong 12-3 lead, after playing their T side. Spirit of Amiga went to play solid T play, but as mTw took those key rounds, Spirit of Amiga cashed in a 16-11 defeat.
Final map inferno started with mTw as CT, and the team managed build up a 9-6 lead. Switching to T, mTw saw Spirit of Amiga climbing back into the match, breathing down mTw's neck. With many crucial round wins by mTw, the squad went for a 16-12 win, securing the spot for World Cyber Games 2009 in Chengdu, China.
With the result, mTw claim their first victory since the roster shakeup. The team will be looking at attending the World Cyber Games 2009 Grand Finals, which will be Crème de la Crème of events this fall.
Check out the gallery from the qualifier right here. We will be back with much more for the qualifier, including demos and more.
Well mTw did not play bad with their new lineup, but based on their results today, I dont think they could win the likes of vitrolic.pl, fnatic and so on, unless they step their game up. But they have time to practice, so hopefully they are prepared for WCG.

#5 First of all, its a VERY new team, and theire first event as a team.
Besides that, i thnink you might underestimate us as a team :)
mTw will be a top team again, if they will be the best in the world again, or that dominating, i might doubt.
Ofcurse the team needs some time, to get used to the changes they've made. They took the first step today, now theire next challenge will be us next weekend at SLAP LIVE and KGC :)
