cbteam to miss The Gathering

HLTV.org understands that cbteam will not attend this year's The Gathering due to "several reasons".

Since February when cbteam was re-created, the team have made a bunch of headlines and drawn a lot of attention. Notably when they placed second in the WES Masters Euro Cup, only losing to Evil Geniuses, and showing strenght through the TG seeding cup where they also finished second. 

The first day of The Gathering is now over, and HLTV.org have received intel saying cbteam will not be able to attend the event. When quizzed about the situation, Karl-William "kalle" Haraldsen stated they would not attend due to several reasons. 

During earlier talks, team members said that they would attend as long as a WCG qualifier would be present. HLTV.org reported that a WCG Nordic qualifier would be held during The Gathering just one week ago.

Reports also indicate that an extra match to decide the fifth team to qualify for the main tournament has been held. This because of cbteam not being able to attend.

cbteam's replacement will be found during tomorrow. Group B, in which cbteam originally had its spot, will kick off on Friday, meaning the organizers will have sufficient time to find a suitable replacement.

Probably had other personal issues such as Easter with families. Since WCG is important I can see how they would be willing to go to TG instead of spend easter with their families. But no WCG made the decision for them.

This kinda ruined the whole tournament for me. Was looking forward to see how they would do on LAN. I guess bsl was right, they aren't that dedicated.
