KODE5 launches finals website

8-11-2010 15:43

The KODE5 chiefs have launched the official website for this season's Global Finals.

The tournament is set to take place at the Compupalace Tech Center in Miraflores, Peru, from 3-5 December, with teams from across the globe travelling to South America to battle it out for fnatic's crown.

This season has been haunted by several problems, with just six regional qualifiers announced as two of them - one in France and a second one in Spain - were cancelled.

Moreover, from the teams that have already qualified for the Global Finals, LatterligLett no longer exist, and questions remain about who will replace them. OSLF.dk, on the other hand, have confirmed to HLTV.org they will attend the event with the same line-up that won the German regional stop.

There is currently only one regional qualifier to be played, which will take place in Brazil, from 27-28 November.

Meanwhile, KODE5 has announced that it will stage a last-minute qualifier from 2-3 December in Miraflores with 16 teams, out of which the top four teams will get a spot at the Global Finals.

The official list for the KODE5 Global Finals currently looks as follows:

LatterligLett
bet4gamers (now x6tence)
Wild Ineters
OSLF.dk
Iron Will
To be determined

Contacted by HLTV.org, the KODE5 chiefs stated that this is not the final list, and that more teams will soon be revealed, most likely in the form of invites.

2010-11-08 16:15

Maybe because they haven't got any tournaments in America? They also have great teams like mibr, eg, col. One tournament which will be cheaper for non-europeans won't make big difference for you.

2010-11-08 18:25

I really thought WCG.LA took place in america :O they have EG and coL idd (and mibr), but these teams play for 2 of the richest eSport organistion out there, and can already travel for any tournament. So this means... that there won't be semi-pro teams from europe (and there are lots of very good ones) and more from America (and let's be honest, apart from the 4/5 best teams of the continents none of them are really worth watching, or at least almost nobody here will watch them.

2010-11-08 18:51

Considering 99% of the tournaments are held somewhere in Europe, its good that there's another big tournament happening in south america. Teams from here have 0 chance to train against top teams or compete with them on tournaments since its extremely expensive for third world countries to pay travel expenses to europe.

Well, we, and I am guessing many other sites most likely cannot afford to go to Peru, especially not with the teams currently looking to represent the event, so this just means the event will get a lot less attention than it would otherwise..

So tournaments need to be held on europe so its cheaper for teams from sweden,denmark,poland,etc and expensive for teams from america(some of them go) but there cant be a tournament on America because now its too expensive for europeans ?. So is it okay for teams from America to pay a lot for going to europe but It isnt okay for teams from europe to go to America because they have to pay a lot ?

i dont think that's what he meant. peru is just such a remote location. if you want something in america, usa would be better. but yeah, it's cool with an event in a different country. im just concerned that there wont be enough coverage/topteams to make the tournament interesting or even watchable.

In Peru not steal cameras (HLTV.org robbed at WCG)

2010-11-08 18:05

i think thats exactly what he meant, you said it yourself, its a "remote location", obviously for him and for you, but in europe its remote for us, and recognize it, you have more money in eu than we have (3rdclasscountries). But in the end, i will prefer in event was in a place where everyone will be even, but that is impossible, its like trying to get perfect ping vs teams that live in country 4000km other way. only argument is that majority of highskilled team are in eu, some others are spread on earth, that is the only argumnet of why must be EU, and its fair I think, In the end I agree, but I just want to point out that its just IMPOSSIBLE for certain teams here in southamerica to travel for a game, when we work maybe 10x as hard, and get paid on 12 hours of work what EU workers get in 1 hour :P :P:P its true, I just wish it wasnt that way

i didnt say it had to be in europe. i like the idea of an event in a non-traditional location. with that said, peru isnt the best possible location for an event in america. if they insist on hosting it in south america instead of canada/usa, why not brazil? should be the best option in SA, no?

2010-11-08 23:48

Disagree. It`s like when a big team from the capital goes to the countryside, to participate..

2010-11-08 17:47

I am just laying out the facts, there will be less coverage because of the location.. It is fair you guys want events, but fact is most big teams are in Europe, meaning placing events in Europe makes the most sense, so instead of moving 10 European teams to Peru, you move 1 team from Peru to Europe..

2010-11-08 18:42

Yes, but making it at least once here in South America, it's a big chance for teams that NEVER will have te opportunity, mostly because of financial reasons,to attend any event on Europe, to proof themselves against the best teams wich are obviously from Europe. Here in Argentina and in Latin America there's a big problem on the lack of sponsors, this event will probably help some teams to get the support of some new sponsor being that some greaat teams will come here. But.. it's your desicion, if you want to give some attention to the event or not :)

No it is not really my decision if we want to give the event "attention" or not, it is a question of financials, if we cannot afford to go there isn't much to decide on..

nobody cares if you are there or not, sorry. and your little amount of money is not the fault of kode5. south america has been disregarded for so long, finally there is a nice tournament coming up. they have done everything right, afair the costs of travel will be paid by kode5 organisation. so there is no point in argueing that this tournament will be held in peru.

2010-11-08 23:34

what's the point of organising an event if nobody can cover it? they could just as well play without hltvs that wouldn't change much then. The only coverage we should have this year should be some south-american eSport website, therefore no english-speaking ones which means that most ppl won't watch it, it's as simple as that

2010-11-08 18:54

OMG are you serious? How much do you think latin american teams must pay to go to any event on Europe? Your attitude is so selfish and inequitable..

Fact of the matter remains that Peru is hardly close to the center of competitive CS, Europe is. I am also annoyed when events are placed in Asia as that too costs a small fortune to cover, and the timezones make for less spectators. I am merely stating the fact that not many sites and teams will be able to afford to go to Peru.

Well I have complained about that before.. It is a simple matter of having the big tournaments where the teams are, I am not saying there cannot be events in South America, but the really big events like KODE5 should be more central in my opinion, those are not the events that the amateur teams attend, those are the pro teams attend to find out who is best.

Ok, do you see teams here like Wild Ineters or mibr playing ? Yes they are amateur becouse the dont have sponsor but i think in game they can make same demage too some Semi-Pro teams in Europe, and for the team i repeat if they want to travel they can make qualys , here to travel to Europe we have nation qualifier and then a region qualifier I understand your position but for one chance is not a big deal , all we can make a effort (sorry about 2 post, i dont now why it happend)

2010-11-08 20:23

1 reply

the problem is that there has been no qualifiers in europe. Therefore the only teams to go there will be (if they really go) the real pro teams like fnatic or navi, which are just out of reach of south american teams (but coL). I could have been good if indeed KODE5 had paid travel expenses to more teams, then it would have been a good occasion for local teams to gain experience but instead they're gonna be crushed and the tournament's gonna be boring

2010-11-12 22:32

"This years event seems like a joke, and why the hell is it being held in Peru where it costs a small fortune to travel to?" why the hell is it being held in Peru?!! I've never seen an admin expressing an opinnion in that selfish way before. Kode5 want to make a tournament here, if u dont really like it, cuz maybe u want another place "not far far away from you can go" so make ur own tournament :) (with that beautiful opinnion many others organization will never come) "Sometimes I am ashamed to be part of HLTV.org" I do believe that HLTV.org should be ashamed of u. thnx for ur support

You do not see the olympics held in Peru either, that is not because the Olympics do not like Peru, but simply because the event is too big for such a venue, my feelings with KODE5 are the same, why do you think there are so few qualifiers, maybe it has something to do with the fact that it costs more than 5000€ just to send a team.. I doubt HLTV.org is ashamed that I am a part of it, hint, check my userid.. I am sorry you take it as some great personal offense that I think the big CS events should be held where the most can follow them, and the biggest and best teams can attend, but that will not change.

Yea, so lets campaign for the World Championship in football to Peru in 2014, I mean we should give Peru a chance right?! Fact of the matter is that KODE5 looks to be a very small event with regards to the real pro-teams, and I understand why you and others think it is nice that some big event finally makes it to Peru, but that does not change the fact that an event that boasted the top10 of the world last year this year might not have a single team from the top10, that is NOT good for anyone.

So are you really comparing The World soccer championship with kode5 ? Is there a kode5 qualifier on EVERY region of the world as the World soccer championship? Does the KODE5 needs as much infrastructure than the World Soccer Championship(stadiums)?. The answer for both is NO. Helding an event like KODE5 here doesnt just give a chance to us, it gives chance to other teams from countries of SouthAmerica to come to an international event paying less. America is also part of the gaming community and we all deserve a "big event" that we can afford.

2010-11-08 21:01

Of course it wasn't a good analogy, but the analogy works as to show that KODE5 is a very big event from CS, and moving it somewhere where no one can afford to send teams, and little press can attend does not make sense.. Say it was moved to Siberia, would you still be supportive, because the Siberian teams would now have a chance, or are you only pro this move because it happens to be to Peru?

I would be pro of it if it is held on ecuador,colombia,chile,argentina because southamericans teams can afford it. As you can see, countries from SouthAmerica doesnt make as much money(average per person) as europeans. If the event is held on sweden I bet is cheaper for teams from finland and Norway to assist and I bet they will support it being held on sweden. If it is held on Germany it will probably be cheaper for Poland and Denmark. Example: World Soccer Championship make qualifiers on every region of the world. Question: Do big events invite as much American teams as Europeans ?

If the qualifiers wish to pay for the teams I am sure KODE5 would allow it in a heartbeat.. Do you think everything is just rosy in Europe? Do you really think all the teams can easily afford 5000€ to attend KODE5? Because that is certainly not the case.. Also with regards to qualifiers, did you happen to follow how messy the whole WCG thing was, mainly because no one in Europe could really afford to have qualifiers, many European countries did not even send CS teams..

2010-11-08 21:11

Well.. in the "business position" I can say you are right... I mean is better for the "business" to do it on Europe, is cheaper for teams and cheaper for do the coverage. It is just that it would be nice if on the "big events" send actually the "top teams("s" is important here) of every region. Lets see, on the past tournaments, yeah coL.br and EG were in and thats nice.. but it is just 1 team from NA and 1 team from SA. And what about Europe, they always have more than 5 teams on It just doesnt look fair to us. Maybe the day they agree to send equal quaintity of teams from all the regions of the world, we all would be happy.

2010-11-09 16:50

so u are saying that kode5 and any other important organization should not come here because "pro-teams" in europe deserve all the attention, and u really believe that kode5 didnt think about it? Too bad for hltv.org, I hope some other organization (not the bigger or most important) come here and try to broacast the matches for low CS lvl ppl. Ok, not peru, or australia, or hawai, or even pluton (D:) because hltv will not be able to go and earn some money from their sponsors. (unprofitable?)

Well I am sorry, but money do not grow on trees, not even in Europe, looking at the teams currently going we simply CANNOT afford to go, so what do you want me to say? An event with the teams currently listed will hardly make us gain any extra pageimpressions, thus making it unprofitable to attend the event.. And yes I think an event like KODE5 should be for the worlds top teams, not for the regional teams where it is held, you can have small lan events for that just as all other countries have.. How much attention do you seriously think KODE5 will attract with the current teams looking to attend?

Do u really think that there are more cs players in europe than america? or even southamerica, it is funny that u really believe that a big tournament should take place ONLY in europe or near ur neighborhood?

And did you notice how many qualifiers could not afford to send teams to LA? Stop thinking this is me hating your country or some irrational shit like that, I just want what is best for CS, and that is NOT an event in Peru at this very moment, that is a fact, and to back it up, simply look at the attending teams.

Well I happen to live in Europe, and trust me, in Denmark no teams want to spend a few hundred euros to just have their asses kicked by mTw, you can find maybe 3 or 4 teams that will drop that kind of money, then we have 2500€, which is less than half of which is needed, and then you still need to actually hold the qualifier.. It is NOT as easy as you make it sound, and the European teams are NOT as rich as I think you think..

2010-11-08 22:55

a lot 5000euros per team, right? Kode5 is paying for it so why QQ? HLTV is not a team and im sure 1 capable guy can fly there, solo it (interviews, photos and a bit of tournament info) then the rest its done by others HLTV admins at home Cant believe you cry so much about one event at South-America. I do believe flying to China is more expensive than flying to America (both from Europe)

No, it is much cheaper to fly to China, but I also complain when events are needlessly put in Asian countries.. We nearly always only send one guy, but spending 1500€ on an event that does not attract any big teams? That just doesn't make any sense.. And I wouldn't count on KODE5 paying for anything, the qualifiers normally pay the plane tickets, not the events, so get your facts straight.. And I am not crying, I am just stating my personal opinion and what people can expect coverage wise, not just from us, but most likely the other coverage sites as well..

I really can imagine u talking with them stating ur point that its stupid to make a big tournament here cuz best players cant afford their tickets. Its very sad the way u think the things are and should be, only, because u are the most shock with this big event that will be set in a country where u are not gonna get a penny from it.

No idea where you found those prices, all my searches ended up well above 10k dkk for plane tickets alone, anyways we cannot order the tickets now anyways as the teams are not even announced yet, and if the current teams are the only ones attending we wouldn't even cover it on-site if it was in Germany.

Yea I appreciate that, will certainly have it in mind if top teams sign up..

2010-11-08 22:54

CS goes where the money goes, and are you aware of the complete list of teams its going to attend to this event to come with the conclusion that is not worth to send one guy? Yeah you've say same thing over and over but your not fully informed about the even to come out with such conclusions. And if its the biggest CS website shouldn't you guys try to get some financial sponsor?

I believe your comments were the stupid ones because your just criticizing about being in south america, and about saying is not worth it to send a guy to make coverage when I'm sure your not aware of the complete list of teams are attending. Kode5 have always been a huge event, so why is this one the exception? because its in SA?

2010-11-09 01:55

5 replies

Uhm because there have been no proper qualifiers, because there is no word and the event is less than a month away? Sure it can still become an event with top teams, but NOTHING suggest so at the moment. And your previous comment was disrespectful.

i don't see any reason why u're trying to explain your opinion for all of them in 100 of posts,cause they want to have a bit event with their team allowed,but they still could not realise,that without European best team this event would not be that big as it was before,because it is too expansive to send a team there,also we have a coverage problems and I bet there is a big chance that event would not even begin,cause of some extrodinary problems that we still dunno in fact

why can u see my point? I just dont get it, Im not saying that I want hltv.org or top10 teams or whatever nomad said about their money problems, the only thing that Im just angry about, is that he thinks that big organizations like kode5 should not come to southamerica. As I said before over and over again, idc if top teams from europe cant come here, I just want and oportunity for ppl that want to enjoy and have fun in this electronic sport. btw there are more teams here in southamerica that want to play CS not only for fun, instead of 4 teams in just one country.

There are a lot of team all over the world that wanna play cs only for fun,face it up,so it's not needed to keep in mind I agree that tournaments have to take place in different countries and in Latin America countries also,progress and so on,but... Look at the teams that have already passed qualis?2 of 5 team already disbanded,no world class team in world class event?something must be wrong than,tournament is coming closer and closer,still no info,still no grands,and belive me,all the semi pro teams from Latin America would love to play LAN with such teams as mTw,fnatic,Na'Vi I'm just curious,who made a choice,who should be in a tournament and who should not (quotes and qualis) And try to read clearly Nomad's posts,he have got hes still point of view and neither he,not you are wrong,but for your personal reasons

2010-11-10 06:55

As entertaining as all this has been, every single thing Nomad is saying is 100% right and if you cant see it you're an idiot. Everyone else just needs to drop it.

2010-11-09 07:17

a fortune for european teams that, acctualy can afford it, for latinoamerican teams playing in Europe or Asia is uthopic, gaming does not recive such a big money support as en europe or somewhere else. This is a chance for teams like artyk, wild ineters and those who are not known as they should to get the opportunitie to demonstrate what they are capable of. I dont think this is happening any time soon again so once in a while its just OK for us.

Yes, why not?? For example, Wild Ineters defeat CNB who has been able to win against some European teams. MiBR defeat Wild Ineters, and so on.. You guys really underrate the South American teams, i bet my nutts that Wild Ineters/MiBR/ArtyK do more damage than the Euros except FX, fnatic, Na´Vi, SK, mouz.

Stop being an absolute fanboy of WI I never mentioned them. Most countries from south-america have a poor scene, and their best team would be crushed by any team that's top20 in europe. coL, EG, CNB (and let's say wildi..) are exceptions to this rule but hey this is meant to be a world-class event, those teams are far from being as exciting as the european ones to watch FX, fnatic, Na´Vi, SK, mouz. btw do you really think wildi > Lions, F2F, mTw, mYm, Power Gaming... ?

2010-11-08 21:06

the most important fact is that american teams (north, center and southamericans)could demonstrate their skill level against the best teams in the world. We should be thankful to Kode5 for the support.

lol, I prefer to do not think about that and wait. also, we must consider that the number and quality of teams attending probably will depend on the prize money.

A few at least.. It very much depends on how much it costs to attend the event.. We do a cost benefit for each event as they come up..

2010-11-08 22:30

Youre saying you cant afford to travel to Peru, which i understand given the low quantity of top teams attending, but you guys travel to Asia 2/3 times a year, dont tell me its cheaper than Peru, and if it is i bet the difference isnt too big. I also bet that SK, Fnatic, Na Vi, EG, coL, WMF and mousesports can attend the event if they would want to...

2010-11-08 21:57

The difference is around a factor of two, and the quality of teams is more like a factor of 10.. And where are these top teams you seem to think want to attend? I cannot see them at the moment, right now I see an event that is of lower quality than most locale Danish lans..

well the problem is the lack of quallifiers, don't know what's the problem... euros has more sponsors to travel around the world. by the way, I see no one argueing when the tournaments are in the U.S (talking about money only) and it's more expensive

2010-11-09 04:32

I don't know, that's why I asked. The only thing I know is that the travel expenses was covered for Latterliglett.

2010-11-09 08:03

yea, let's make all the tournaments in Europe (costs x2 to southamericans) and don't let this continent grow up, it's a fortune for euros to come here, but it's really cheap for us to go there huh? who has more money, fnatic/sk/mouz/mTw, or southamericans? lol

Irony? Sorry to say that but youre needlessly ignorant about the facts stated by nomad... You're happy because it's a great opportunity for you, an international event in your neighbourhood where you can proove you're just as good as europeans. And that's fine. BUT! 1) At the moment there aren't any real world-class teams on the list (who you can proove against)... FACT 2) and they probably won't travel to Peru because its damn expensive. FACT 3) Organising an event there makes it pretty hard to cover them by leading CS community sites such as HLTV.org. FACT Being patriotic is nice but being stupid isn't. Everyone in the world - except south american players - probably think Peru sucks as a place to hold Kode5. And again, their opinions are based on facts which were stated numberless times here. ;) **PS: I totally agree with nicks(au)! Hire someone, it's probably the only way to cover this event. **PPS: Sry for my english.

Ok, about the country, I believe that if it had been in Brazil KODE5 everything would be different, since Brazil is the country's gaming top1 in Latin America, followed by Argentina with a team very important here in Latin America, Wild Ineters champion KODE5 Latin American Draft, winning all matches, not just the qualifier Latin America, also won every game of the qualifier in Argentina.

As far as I see it, good for local teams who can attend, bad for non-local teams who do not have hotel-trip paid. In the last category I presume we can include HLTV.org and other coverage sites that would have to face quite a big disbursement for a doubtful event in terms of the transcendence of the teams attending so far.

2010-11-08 23:39

don't wanna sound like an ass or anything but considering the current teams attending, it doesn't really matter if we have coverage or not tbh...

Presumably the supporters of the current teams attending will not agree with you ;) Even those, like me :P, who like to be up to date of what is happening around the globe. But, as Nomad explained, cost/benefit is bad for now.

2010-11-08 23:57

Dont worry i already said, localstrike will cover this event, is the biggest company in south america of electronic sports :)

2010-11-09 01:52

You thinks that the organizers of KODE5 run the event without top teams? Please... isn't business.

We will know for sure once the final list of teams attending is revealed.

2010-11-08 23:58

lol ppl r happy that they have the event in their country. not even bothered bout india :\ don't forget esports will become a success if gaming is alive in all the countries, escpecially populated countries like us

2010-11-09 02:22

kode5 final website is down and the organizer's got hacked kode5.com.pe/ pgconsultores.net/ what a joke organization

2010-11-09 02:48

Dude, i give a shit if HLTV comes or not to make the coverage at the event.. The world does exist before this web.. I really aprecciate the work you guys do for us, the global community, but this selfish attitude show us other face from you. Really must change ur position and evaluate how could u support us, the SouthAmerican people.. Give us a chance... Give us the chance to grown up and we'll the essence than CS community has losted in a few years.

Gota agree with some of the comments from our ameigo's, there are things outside europe and HLTV. Kinda like the ATP tour or something, just cause fedderer and nadal are from europe dosent mean there arent tournaments all over the world, and wether the top players (teams) choose to attend is entirely up to them. Overall, its beneficial to a dwindling game.

Having no top teams attend what is supposed to be one of the bigger tournaments of the year does not = beneficial for, as you said, an already dwindling game.

I think IW, coL and x6tence are decent teams, this is a good opportunity for another part of the world other than Europe to get some practice and keen up. The alternative is no tournament, or the bigger teams fund their own way? Either way i think this a good thing, but that's just my opinion. I would sure love to see more cs tournaments in aus/nz i know for a fact that would raise competition.

2010-11-09 09:15

Maybe you could just hire someone to work on behalf of HLTV for coverage, im sure you could even find volunteers. Just because you personally cant go NOMAD dosent mean you cant think outside the box if you really care about the coverage ;)

How would the hired person get access to the high quality picture and video cameras for all the interviews etc, aswell as being trained in record all the scores and how to use the hltv.org's scoring system, and getting server logs and knowing what to do with them to update dreamteam etc, its not just as simple as picking some guy on the forums and then you instantly have coverage. Even if it were that simple, it still doesnt solve the fact that its highly likely that there will be no, or very few, top teams actually in attendance.

2010-11-09 07:22

I always been a newsman for my country's CS Webs... Haven't any problem to TRY HELP HLTV crew. And now i must agree with n1cks.au, what the says is the only true.. Or what, Argentina football team will not attend a football event cuz the teams are bad? kinda Denmark? :P

I don't even care about the teams attending, I think it would be an awesome experience and I would have definitely went if I didn't have work to do :)

The lineup was: PAH, serpen, NoxeL, Zeuvs and Spinnvild, I think.

2010-11-09 08:22

LatterligLett's correct lineup was Zeuvs, spinnvild, PAH, NoxeL and CLd. They beat Oslo Lions, the former Norwegian team, at The Convention 2009.

2010-11-09 10:37

This discussion is totally unnecessary, an event that serves to rekindle the spirit of sportsmanship in South America, this year we had the WCG Pan American in Brazil, and the event certainly left nothing to be desired compared to the events taking place in Europe / Asia, not 'll be amazed if eg within a few years the world final of the WCG is not made South American. Good luck to all teams in Kode5

2010-11-09 13:47

america vs europ ;) WI, coL, Mibr GLLL =D

2010-11-09 15:47

Gl everybody !

2010-11-09 18:44

If they can't invite all the top teams then they should get Na'vi & WeMadeFOX & coL.br (who are probably going anyway)...then it would be Europe vs Asia vs America :). Plus since when did Peru get expensive...I remember it was like $500 from Norcal to Peru. Is it like 9999999999999999999 Euros for Euros to be complaining? Cause everything in Peru is cheap...

worst location ever , who cares if its good for "peru and regional south american teams" ? Peru ? why not brazil , in brazil counter strike is more evolved , more competitive than PERU LOL. Anywayi I think that this kind of competition must be held in EUROPE , why ? the majority of good quality players are from eu DOH , do you want a good turnament with good teams , large/euphoric public , germany is the answer. Thanks

"Peru ? why not brazil , in brazil counter strike is more evolved " Then europe tourneys should be held only in sweden, ukraine and poland LOL! Lets give SA a chance, Peru has a great organization y cs is evolving.

2010-11-13 03:38

Brasil = CoL

2010-11-15 22:38

The problem is have no qualifiers in Europe, and some teams do not have the money for the cost of tickets.

2010-11-17 07:17

fly x6tence to peru? :/ I don't think......

2010-11-28 04:15

I just can't beleive how selfish are some gamers. FACTS: 1)Yes, Peru is in the ass of the world and its hard for some teams to come. 2)Yes, Peru and most south american teams arent as evolved in CS as European teams. 3)Yes, The event won't have the top 5 teams in the world, it WON'T be the best event ever. 4)Yes, the organization might be poor and the website sucks hardcore. But you know what... There are CS gamers around the globe who really love this lifestyle and south america isnt the exception. For people like me who always wanted to watch a big tournament this is a really good oportunity, I'm tired of downloading movies about the tournaments, I've been doing that for 8 years. Who cares if its not the biggest tourny ever? It is a really big chance for a lot of gamers around here, stop being selfish. I'm not talking about all europeans teams, I know some of them understand us as we understand you guys how expensive would be to travel on your own. And for the selfish guys, you won't lose too much, maybe you won't be able to travel here but the next year you'll have 5 or 6 big events where you can go, in the other hand we will be hoping for another event in a couple of years. Good luck all the teams, Lima is a nice city I'm sure you'll enjoy the stay.
