No LAN finals for ESWC Poland

28-5-2010 00:44

Polish qualifier for Electronic Sports World Cup 2010 will not have any LAN finals, due to the recent flooding hitting the country.

The Polish elite would be gathered June 4-6 in Warsaw, to fight out for who would be going to ESWC 2010. It was however today announced that there will be no LAN finals, as a result of the flooding in Poland. The organizers report that the main sponsor of the event, is losing a great amount of money, due to its investments being damaged by the flooding. Based on the loss, the sponsor has decided to pull out, leaving the organizers without the financial support for the LAN finals.

The organizers have however chosen to expand the Polish delegation for ESWC 2010, now seeing two male teams attend instead of one, and the addition of a female squad. At the current stage the organizers have not announced further updates about how the qualifier will be executed, but with no support from a main sponsor, it could very well be played online.

this is more than interesting. at least some good. two teams instead of one.

wow that sucks, kind of funny how FX not accepting invite is for nothing now... the whole point was to "show their support by attending all polish events"

they are called eswc finals...each nation has its own eswc final event. the polish eswc finals will take place online which is what he means. and the teams will have their trip paid. The only thing which is disappearing is the LAN event as that is what the sponsor was paying for.

2010-05-28 15:06

2010-05-31 23:16

They can still accept the offer actually. At least that was said in the post about the invite for FX.

2010-05-28 09:22

that was just an excuse anyway

Too bad it'll be played online, but I guess yet another spot will make this qualifier much more interesting!

Well , online isn't that bad is it? :D

And that mentality needs to be abolished for CS to be prosperous once again. So, YES it does matter.

2010-05-28 01:17

Can't compare LAN with Online, important tournaments are won on LAN so there's no lag, cheat and all of that type of excuses.

2010-05-28 01:28

LOL its LAGGING!

2010-05-28 01:24

since FX is already in the tournament (invited), the winner will be just a mid euro, wont do any damage in the big ones

2010-05-28 01:31

no they are not invited. they turned it down afaik. they wanted to win the polish qualifier so they'd have travel expenses paid by eswc.

Give one of the two spots to FX and let all the other teams play for the second. GG :D

2010-05-28 05:44

The truth is that no other team in Poland, unlike FX can't do anything at Disneyland.(DELTA, another promising team but still can't defeat Polish champions :P)

Poland 4ever!!

2010-05-29 17:53

i cant understand how poland cant have at least 1 more topteam than Fx. i mean, by the looks of community websites like this there seem to be a HUGE interest for e-sports in poland. and i guess ping problems are out of the picture nowadays since u all ping pretty good to .de huh? dont get it. sure there are perhaps not a lot of tournaments in poland but there are several developed CS-nations who are in the same situation and still manage to get a couple of good teams out there.
