Baltic DH Winter qualifier concludes

1-11-2009 16:52

Another qualifier for DreamHack Winter took place this weekend, to be more specefic, the Baltic qualifier taking place in Tallinn, Estonia.

Held at the Le Coq football stadium, teams would this weekend be competing to reach top3, which would qualify them for DreamHack Winter. It quickly became obvious that wooSai was to claim one of the three spots, which they did by winning the upper-bracket final against Estonian team nOu.

Down in lower-bracket the Estonian fans were shocked when they saw sYnck being defeated by the Lithuanian squad of LCSL. With the loss sYnck failed to reach top3 and missed out on qualifying for DreamHack Winter.

The remaining matches of the tournament were played, seeing wooSai taking on LCSL in the Grand Final. The Lithuanian team was set to start CT on nuke, letting wooSai be the attacking-force. The Finnish squad stepped it into a whole other gear, crushing LCSL with 15-0 as T on nuke. Winning the pistol-round wooSai claimed top spot at the Baltic DreamHack Winter Qualifier, by defeating LCSL 16-0.

2009-11-01 17:30

Asus Autumn is beeing held at the same time as Dreamhack Finals

2009-11-01 19:17

No, the norwegian qualifier is ongoing, so it's not decided who will go from Norway... LL won the kode5 qualifier..

2009-11-02 18:03

another swedish event..

You say that like its a bad thing

2009-11-01 17:43

actually starting to like dreamhack now, what they are doing with these qualifiers is a great thing. not only does teams from small cs countries get a chance to get out and compete abroad, which is a great experience for them, but also we can see a lot of good teams there to mix it up. it would be so cool if we could ever get a topteam from another country than sweden/denmark/germany (not mentioning poland and some other countries because they pretty much only got 1 team that can compete with those top swe/den/ger teams like mtw sk fnatic mouz). really liking TitaNs and k23's success lately and i hope more teams will be able to step it up just like they've done :) always fun to see!

2009-11-01 17:35

k23 has yet to stop impressing me, fer sure. Also, TyLoo would be great at DH:W imo. I'd like to see FG too :)

2009-11-01 17:45

mouz not in top enymore ;)

2009-11-01 23:10

Why was Woosai in baltic qualifiers and not in Finnish qualifiers?

Probably because they had only one spot in Finnish qualifiers and 3 in Baltic =D And they knew they would lose to PG.

2009-11-01 17:42

Obviously they wanted to get the spot in the DH easily =]

2009-11-01 18:02

Vinnarlaget lu?

2009-11-01 18:16

wooSai went to baltic qualiferz cuz they knew they wont be able to qualify from finland so...baltic qual was good option

2009-11-01 18:31

wooSai said that it was cheaper to play in Estonia than play finnish qualifier.

2009-11-01 18:36

Cheaper? Don't they get invited there to play for free?

2009-11-01 18:42

They would have had to pay some money to get in to the Finnish qualifiers. I don't even know if there was an entry fee in the Baltic one, just boat tickets that don't cost a lot. It will be nice to see another Finnish team playing abroad with the usual ruuit, nasu, plaste & co.

2009-11-01 18:57

Entry fee was 50e/team in Finnish DH qualifier.

2009-11-01 19:04

Yeah, I guess it wouldnt have been cheaper to play at finland so why not to choose easier way to qualify than trying to win PG.

2009-11-01 19:22

Oslo Lions win qualifier Norway

2009-11-01 19:24

gj woosai, but still IMO finnish team should play in their qualification not in Baltic qualification.

2009-11-01 19:34

fnatic will going to DH?

2009-11-01 19:37

still don't know who is 2easy4

2009-11-01 19:40

2easy4 wtf? They couldn't have won against ESC? :S And who are Phantom Gaming ? :S

2009-11-01 19:54

The won ESC 16-13 and 16-14. Phantom Gaming qualified via Swedish PlayZeek ladder.

2009-11-01 20:00

ROFL @ ESC :( PlayZeek ladder? Come on... :D:D:D:D:D
