PinG to attend ESWC finals

15-6-2010 09:52

The Electronic Sports World Cup has announced that Ukrainian side PinG will compete at the 2010 world finals.

The ESWC had initially provided Ukraine with just one spot for the world finals, which went Natus Vincere's way as they won the national qualifier last month.

However, an update on the ESWC's Counter-Strike roster shows that it has given Ukraine a second spot, to be handed to PinG, who finished second at the qualifier.

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that Poland will feature two teams at the prestigious showcase and that all of the eight invited sides have confirmed their attendance.

The ESWC CS list is now comprised of the following 30 names:

01 - Evil Geniuses
02 - Playzone
03 - mTw
04 - compLexity
05 - WeMade FOX
06 - OSLF.dk
07 - Kaos
08 - Alternate
09 - fnatic
10 - SK Gaming
11 - mousesports
12 - Oslo Lions
13 - inteNsity
14 - United[5]
15 - Argentina
16 - FireGamers
17 - eu4ia
18 - TyLoo.raw

And h2k, but that do not change the fact that ukraine had one spot and navi beatet ping to it. SK and fnatic got invite, h2k won the qual. Therefore in teory it do not matter that mym lost to h2k more than ping lost to navi :)

Leethal meant that before the qualifier took place you already had two teams(fnatic, SK) from Sweden going to the event. So giving them two more spots wouldn't make any sense, especially in an event like ESWC. Now before the Ukrainian qualifier took place there were no Ukrainian team in the event. There are a bunch of other countries who deserve to either get a single spot or a spot for a second team in the event before Sweden gets a 4th one.

fnatic and SK will actually attend as they are sponsored pretty well and thus can pay for the costs the ESWC invite implies. And that amount of sponsors is not found in many other countries. I do not know if it was MissHarvey who stated in a different topic that apparently due to time constraints ESWC were stressing quite unusually the sponsored aspect of the different teams.

2010-06-16 00:17

Cant wait for this event to start.. This will be a hell of a tournament....

Great event... missing MYM and PowerGaming though.

2010-06-15 11:25

Already I do not believe that at this point it fences In Powergaming or MYM ... or at least that fences IN MYM for which powegaming is almost impossible, they will want to go little by little.

2010-06-15 11:30

cool , PinG are good :)

2010-06-15 11:32

its great to see ping here, and I am really looking forward to see them with kucher. Anyway I would love to see Cheap Times.

2010-06-15 12:51

why did Algeria receive 2 slots and romania/russia only 1?or even Brazil ...

2010-06-15 12:53

i'd like to see i second Russian team like forZe, but they only gave russia one(which i think is bullshit) spot and that went to UNiTED..which UNiTED is a top ten team imo..just wish they would drop ED1K and let hooch do the awping again, so many better players they could've gotten instead of ED1K.. going to be a great tournament, can't wait.. my fav team MYM failed to make it :( so i'll be rooting for my 2nd fav team Na`Vi and also be rooting for the new H2K lineup

2010-06-15 12:52

+ forZe

2010-06-15 12:56

GIVE 1 SPOT TO BELGIUM MOFO !

2010-06-15 13:56

Why the hell does Algeria have 2 spots?

2010-06-15 15:02

Most missing squad for me is forZe. Would definately love to see them participating. Power Gaming - well who knows what form are they in now. MYM ? You have fnatic, SK, H2k which are 10x better, no more swedish teams needed. I also miss 2 teams from Asia - UMX and TitaNs - they are pretty good and kind of exotic :D

2010-06-15 16:49

No, OSLF has 3 ravens players though, but I would rather see cheap times too.

2010-06-15 17:05

exactly wat i said when ESWC.ua qualifiers ended :) PinG deserved this spot, they have it now and i'm glad. don't disappoint us though, and pracc hard with the new lineup !

How come these 2 ukraine teams made up their own 2 slots and y wasnt the other countries/teams which were nominated (as in the link - hltv.org/news/4421-eswc-application-reac..) were considered for these slots???? Those teams must b heart broken for not be able to show their skills
