Germany with no CS team at WCG?

The German WCG organiser has indicated that the country's participation at the WCG finals for Counter-Strike is in doubt.

According to a statement issued by WCG Europe, budget cuts from sponsors have put the possibility of sending a German Counter-Strike teams to Los Angeles in the balance.

The costs of sending five players to play one tournament appear to have made the organiser opt to channel its funds elsewhere, given that German teams have recently been on the fringes of the action in WCG events.

Due to the lack of funds to organise a proper LAN qualifier for Counter-Strike in Germany, WCG Europe has announced that the tournament will be played online.

However, it is unknown whether the winner will be assured of a spot at the WCG finals, which will take place at ths Los Angeles Convention Center, in Los Angeles, United States, from September 30 to October 3.

Last year, Germany was represented by mousesports, who failed to go beyond the group stages with a roster containing two stand-ins.

Meanwhile, it has been announced that Carom 3D will not be part of Germany's roster for WCG 2010 and that every game except for FIFA will have only one competitor in LA.

Germany's WCG 2010 roster:

3x FIFA 2010
1x Warcraft 3 TFT
1x Starcraft: Broodwar
1x Tekken 6
1x Forza Motorsport 3
1x Guitar Hero 5
1x Trackmania Nations Forever
