SoA invited to DreamHack Winter

23-11-2009 13:37

After failing to win the Danish qualifier for DreamHack Winter, Spirit of Amiga has now been invited to the event.

The team crashed in the semi-final at the Danish qualifier, and would seek other pathways in order to qualify. The team had planned to attend the BYOC qualifier, played on Thursday, but today the team has received an invite for the tournament.

DreamHack furthermore announce that Vinnarlaget, the winner of DreamHack Skellefteå IV, has been replaced by runner-up from 0bites, as the champions could not attend the event. This means that the participants list for DreamHack Winter currently looks as follows:

H2K Gaming
Begrip Gaming
0bites
SK Gaming
Phantom Squad
Rodcad Gaming
2easy4
LZ
TitaNs
Evil Geniuses
Millenium
Power Gaming
wooSai
LCSL
nOu
PlayMore
k1ck eSports Club
Oslo Lions
compLexity
darkside
mTw
PGS D-link
Meet Your Makers
Team XLBet
Spirit of Amiga

Twenty-five teams so far, additional four teams will qualify via the BYOC qualifier, one direct invite is to be handed out, one team will qualify in via a PlayZeek ladder, while the last spot (suppose to be the winner of the Romanian qualifier), is yet to be determined, what will happen to.

HLTV.org will be on site in Jönköping this weekend, to bring you all of the action from DreamHack Winter. Stay tuned for more updates, as the group draw for the event, should be coming fairly soon.

Darkside is from Norway. :)

rofl they invite shit like kick1 etc and not again... just sad !

2009-11-23 14:16

Did it ever occur to you, that they might've invited AGAiN, but that AGAiN either haven't accepted yet or already declined? Don't assume the worst always. Also, would like to see some german teams like mouz or alternate.

2009-11-23 14:24

actually not whiteface,k1ck won the dreamhack qualifier in portugal and they had to BUY the license to do the qualifier,go figure

2009-11-23 15:51

2009-11-23 14:19

only one slot and 2 great teams from wcg finals not invited , WTF?

2009-11-23 14:21

Who told you they haven't been invited?

we should have fnatic in the participant list cuz i'm sure they're looking forward to the blood revenge! :DDD

so i guess groups will be announced after the byoc tournament?

Usually not, as far as I'm told, they will be drawn tonight.

2009-11-23 19:07

so why next beat pgs ( nitro-team )on 2 maps?

2009-11-23 19:29

pgs != nitro I would rather say pgs = fx But still pgs is second team in PL and fx, nitro are mixes.

2009-11-23 21:21

How is nitro-team PGS?

wops :D

2009-11-24 14:06

Hmm wheres fnatic?

2009-11-23 15:55

No again no fnatic poor tournament !!! Buahahhha

2009-11-23 15:59

There are many great teams to watch,still AGAiN can be invited or they can qualify by BYOC :-)

byoc = pay by their own a trip and hotel, so dont think AGAiN after so many time without salary is able to afford it

2009-11-23 18:56

Still some days to get some sponsoring,don't u think so?

Invite HellRaisers maybe?

Gl sK!..... Sk>all

8 replies

isnt that if DreamHack invite team, they pay trip and hotel? or maybe just one?

2009-11-23 18:59

No. An invite is only to the tournament, no expenses paid.

2009-11-23 19:00

qualified team also got no paid expenses?

2009-11-23 19:08

They do.

2009-11-23 19:11

aff AGAiN could go to baltic qual ^^ like woosai.fi did

2009-11-23 19:16

lol, that would have been sick :D

2009-11-23 19:57

I don't remember if it was neo or taz but someone said in interview "come on invite us guys", so from what I've heard they want to go there.

2009-11-23 19:04

taz

In latest interview Luq have said that they are preparing for an event in Sweden which is in couple of days. If it is not DH then I don't know what it is.

2009-11-24 00:06

Well it's not DH, so he might be referring to Arbalet Cup Europe.

2009-11-24 00:07

SoA monster 1°

2009-11-23 18:22

invite ledpc!!!

2009-11-23 18:23

SoA FTW!team number 1!ofc ,arcadion aimer best of best....

sorry, but without fnatic, again, some chinese and russians it's a second league tournament

2009-11-23 19:01

6 replies

some asian team could be good, and from east europe also, but without again and fnatic still can be very good, cuz of no sure winner

2009-11-23 19:17

AGAiN is inferior to several of the teams attending, same goes for the chinese and russian teams. Fnatic is arguably the best team in the world at the moment, but that doesn't mean an event will be second rate just because they aren't attending.

2009-11-23 19:23

You mean SK ? mTw, maybe, but with a stand-in ? H2k ? Maybe I would agree but that's not several for me :) There's noone else who could be compared to their level.

2009-11-23 21:16

AGAiN>H2k, SK and mTw with a standin..

2009-11-23 23:10

Yeah atleast without fnatic and again. Dunno about russian or chinese teams being that good :p

2009-11-23 20:31

Well, I did a little mistake, forgot about latest Russian departures and teams failures. But wNv and TyLoo are very, very good.

2009-11-23 21:13

PGS D-link

2009-11-23 19:52

I think it will be a great event :)

2009-11-23 20:22

why fnatic is not going?

2009-11-23 21:26

TeG should get the last spot.

none brazilian? :@@@@

2009-11-23 21:29

SK will win the event ;)

2009-11-23 22:34

To bad fnatic cant attend. I hope AGAiN or som asian team get the last invite spot. No matter what, it will be a nice event for sure.

2009-11-23 22:35

AGAiN, HellRaisers, k23, Wemade FOX, wNv or TyLoo, mousesports og alternate would all be nice to see as last spot i think.

2009-11-23 22:39

Cant wait to see how coL/EG will fare against the European talent. Would like to see teams like eSuba, Ledpc, EYESports and frag eXecutors. With no fnatic so far, easy win for MYM. 1) MYM 2) mTw 3) SK 4) Power 5-8) H2k/coL/Millenium

2009-11-23 22:52

zomg -,-

2009-11-24 00:08

cool :)

People look on PGS, finally some skilled team from Poland exepct Again! Some german team and Again in please :<! Good move to invite SoA anyway, they deserved.
