Sweden joins ESWC country list

12-4-2010 03:52

Sweden has been included in the list of countries that will organise a qualifier for this year's ESWC Finals.

A provisional list released by the ESWC last month containing 28 countries had left the Scandinavian country out in the cold, which raised fears that a proper partner in Sweden would not be found.

On the ESWC's official page, an updated version of the roster is now available, which shows that National Strategic Partners (NSP) have already been found in 30 different countries, with the additions being Sweden and Bosnia.

However, the ESWC has not yet announced who will organise the qualifier in Sweden or when it will be held.

ESWC 2010 country list:

Algeria - April 21
Argentina
Brazil - May 30
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Cameroon - May 30
Caribbean
Colombia - April 9
China
Croatia
France - May 22
Ghana
Greece
India - May 14
Indonesia - June 6
Iran - April 20
Kuwait
Malaysia
Mexico
Nigeria
Peru - May 28
Poland
Portugal
Romania - May 29
Russia
Sweden
Slovenia - May 8
Tunisia
Ukraine
United Arab Emirates
United Kingdom

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.

do not really think that the costs of equipment Peru Argentina Colombia and the Caribbean are already covered with the previous step to the final ESWC announced that they had the slot but not expenses paid

gogogogogo Brazil and Ukraine.. i want to see some fallen, fnx, and the rest of FireGamers please.. FG could be so good, but mibr was the only company over there that could send them to sweden to bootcamp and to attend almost every tournament.. Jason Lake and complexity should've picked them up..FG would have a way better chance against top tier teams and that can win international tourney's.. Not to mention FG would destroy the new coL lineup, coL just got 16-1 by rambo's knew team lol...and rambo fucking dominated.. a little off topic sorry, just miss the Brazilian guys.. ESWC, always amazing..

2010-04-12 14:17

nice to see that people remember them.. FG have a strong lineup bit-bruno-nak-FalleN-fnx, i believe they can do some damage this year

2010-04-12 22:46

USA doesn't deserve a spot lol..i root against my country lol.. EG has surprised me though, kinda baffled there isn't a usa qualifier.. EG would win, because they can at least compete over halfway internationally.. the only team i would root for outta America would be if Rambo's new team wins the qualifier..lol, and Rambos new team beat the new complexity lineup 16-1 lmao.. and Rambo has been fucking dominating lately..he was like 23-3 against coL when they won 16-1..

Lol? He is back?? :D But I don't think so that they have any chances against Evil Genius.

yea he's back and I watched it, both teams were trying their ass off..so idc if it was lan or online, because right now, coL would lose to them on LAN imo..if they get their shit together than the probably can be 3rd or maybe with great luck 2nd best team in the u.s. (which isn't saying much) and i actually like evo and xp3, but i don't think they'll do much.. UE > coL (currently and hopefully permanently)

Can u please link the demo of Rambo? Interested to see him after his return :x

2010-04-12 13:35

Yes, ue > coL in a meaningless scrim once. This is exactly why people can't ESEA scrim, fanboys will never understand that scrim results mean nothing.

2010-04-12 16:24

Forgot: there is no demo from the match meaning you couldn't possibly have seen it, but nice try :D

2010-04-12 22:03

Gogogo Sweden haha xD

2010-04-15 20:24

16-1 in a very important lan match, oh wait, it was an online scrim...quit hyping rambo up untill he actually does something.

2010-04-12 05:07

EG can compete international. they have been showing great play lately

2010-04-12 10:35

surprising, they have shown that they can compete with the big guys and even won one tourney which had a few good international teams.. still need a U.S., Finland, denmark, korea, and norway please..
