ESWC announces Portugal invites

8-6-2010 23:15

The organisation behind the Portuguese ESWC qualifier has announced the names of 17 invited teams for the tournament.

The dates and location of the qualifier have yet to be announced, but HLTV.org has received info that it will take place next week in Lisbon.

For the past few days, teams from across the country have had the opportunity to sign up for the qualifier, with the organisation giving priority to the ones that competed in the qualifiers last year.

In 2009, Fraglider and and consumer electronics retailer Media Markt teamed up to organise the qualifiers in Portugal, but the national finals never took place after the ESWC filed for bankruptcy.

A preliminary list for the tournament looks as follows:

Portugal k1ck Portugal exotic Portugal Defining Stars
Portugal SKILLEDAMN! Portugal eEmpire Portugal Phantoms
Portugal xfunction Portugal Heavy Portugal Morbidshot
Portugal riseofpeanuts Portugal Die Gaming Portugal Paranoids
Portugal b.paradise Portugal Level-up Portugal Electronicdream
Portugal Hardstyle Portugal mindhack

There are still 15 places to fill as the tournament will feature a total of 32 teams, so stay tuned to HLTV.org for full info on the Portuguese ESWC qualifier.

You'll probably see them at ESWC, at least they'll attend the nationals as topdogs, like always, and honestly, I can't see them defeated by any Portuguese team, at least in a Elimitation stage (They may lost in groupstage with 16-14 like previous tournaments).
