ESWC confirms 28 qualifiers

31-3-2010 02:04

The Electronic Sports World Cup has announced it has already secured national qualifiers in 28 different countries.

According to the ESWC's official newsletter, it has already found what it calls National Strategic Partners (NSP) to organise qualifiers in 28 countries.

From the ESWC's country list, there are still 14 nations listed for which the French-based organisation has found no NSP of yet, with Sweden, Germany and Spain among those names.

Below you can find the 28 countries the ESWC has already found an NSP for, though in most cases dates and location are still unknown:

Algeria
Argentina
Brazil - May 30
Cameroon
Caribbean
Colombia - April 9
China
Croatia
France - May 22
Ghana
Greece
India - May 14
Indonesia
Iran - April 20
Kuwait
Malaysia
Mexico
Nigeria
Peru - May 28
Poland
Portugal
Romania - May 29
Russia
Slovenia
Tunisia
Ukraine
United Arab Emirates
United Kingdom

Companies willing to become NSPs can express their interest by sending an email to the ESWC.

The 2010 ESWC World Finals will take place from June 30 through to July 4 at Disneyland Park in Paris, with $73,500 to be handed out in the male Counter-Strike tournament alone.

Meanwhile, the ESWC has announced it has tied up sponsorship deals with betting company Betclic, French cinema company Allocine and PriceMinister, a famous commerce website.

i dont understand what the point is of arranging quals in poor countries such as ghana and nigeria. i mean, how many esport-teams do even exist in those countries? barely any and those who exist should be reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally far from the top level. but yeah, fun experience for the small esport-nations i guess.

yeah but if you don't include them then they will have no insentive to play at all or reach higher levels... its good step forward for esports even though it will take time imagine pro sc2 players from africa ... :D

2010-03-31 11:42

ESWC should focus in main countries like EEUU, England, Spain , Germany , France, Sweden, etc... instead of wasting time making qualifiers in countries where competition dont exist. Anyways, its all about business.

2010-03-31 14:23

If we work together, we can send emails to find national organizers in all countries, ESWC should do this too, or they will dead like the old ESWC (remember ESWC San Jose) or last WCG (samsung dont help anymore to the countries). The help to the national qualifiers is the most important thing in this events.

China - they rarely venture outside of china coz of visa. Croatia - it has almost nonexistant cs sence.. France - May 22 - logical. Ghana - wasnt this the country where the average age was 18? .. Greece - fine their kinda bad but their atleast better than the african teams .. India - May 14 - it does have billion ppl but their cs sucks kinda Indonesia - ok... Iran - April 20 - i guess i could see a point in representing middle east :X? Kuwait - honestly idk where that is? Malaysia - if titans is from there i dont have a problem with them tbh. Mexico - kind of pointless but they wont get past group stage . Nigeria - do they have internet? Peru - May 28 - pointless again Poland - no wonder. Portugal - logical still Romania - May 29 Russia - they should have more than one spot. Slovenia - dont know any teams from there.. Tunisia - wth? Ukraine - they should have more than one spot United Arab Emirates - wth? United Kingdom - they been bad for a year or two now since dignitas kind of fell apart oh and nsp is sponsor or something who will pay for the trip :X?coz this list is missing EVERY MAJOR cs country beside poland/rus and ua.. and tbh they aint the top ones currently anyway..
