ESWC confirms two more qualifiers

30-3-2010 15:08

The Electronic Sports World Cup has announced that Brazil and Algeria will host national qualifier for this year's World Finals.

HLTV.org had already reported that a qualifier in Brazil was already in the making, but details on this event have only recently been posted on the ESWC's official website.

The Brazilian ESWC qualifier will be held at the Anhembi Convention Center in Santana, a district of São Paulo, from 28-30 May, and there will be several stands and unofficial competitions for the public.

As for Algeria, the North African country will witness pre-qualifiers in three different regions - West (Oran), Centre (Alger) and East (Annaba)-, though no info on the national final has yet been released.

The following countries are now part of the 2010 ESWC calendar:

Other Iran - 20 April
India India - 14 May
France France - 22 May
Peru Peru - 29 May
Romania Romania - 29 May
Brazil Brazil - 30 May 
Other Ghana - TBA
United Kingdom United Kingdom - TBA
United Arab Emirates United Arab Emirates - TBA
Other Kuwait - TBA
Algeria Algeria - TBA
Russia Russia - TBA

I know it's good that esport is expanding, but seriously, where's Sweden? :/ There should be at least one qualifier in Scandinavia imo. But perhaps it's coming.

There will be 2 teams from Poland. Fx have won ESWC 2008, so as the winners they are already qualified. Second team will be probably PGS, because they'll win local ESWC I guess.

just because they arnt on the list, doesnt mean they wont be having a qualifer. Usually the countries with only 1 dominant esports organization get their quals out of the way early. When you look at the powerhouses, im sure it's alot more complicated to decide when to hold the event.

CS scene on Argentina is really poor atm. Anyway it will be a pre-qualifier tournament 4sure to go to Peruvian or Brazilian qualy. Hope our CS level to improve a little, because competition in our country is goin down deeper every year.
