4Kings LAN with Portugal qualifier

5-2-2011 23:36

The organisation behind 4Kings LAN 2011 has announced that Portugal will stage a qualifier for the competition.

The tournament will take place at the CJM LAN House in Matosinhos from 26-27 February, with the winner from this 16-team competition rewarded with paid expenses to the final in London.

Organized by EPTournament, there will also be a €200 prize for the runner-up of the qualifier, which will have a €75 entry fee per team.

k1ck have already signed up for the final event, but they may still attend the qualifier in order to save up some money.

4Kings LAN 2011 is scheduled for 19-20 March, a tournament which will hand out at least €1,700 in cash prizes.

go check "4KINGS LAN qualifier" in defs.org, coachi commented that.

2011-02-06 14:46

defs.org.3whd.com/ by coachi "Queriamos reservar a slot cedo, não sabíamos que ia haver qualificador em Portugal, acabamos por pagar mais cedo. A parte boa disto é que podem estar pelo menos 3 equipas portuguesas em Londres, nós os Dow e quem ganhar este qualificador. gl a todos" Summarized and translated: We idk if would be a qualifier in Portugal so we paid sooner. Good Part is that will be 3 teams in London (K1ck, DoW, qualifier winner). gl all. Super Summarized: We dont will be attending to Qualifier.

My bad didn't realize this was another qualifier (very tired atm). I meant because they don't seem to have that many LOCAL competitions these days, such as Germany or Sweden. (Even Denmark has the Copenhagen thing)

good luck everyone, may the best win

2011-02-05 23:45

3 portuguese teams at 4kings, nice :)

2011-02-05 23:46

Not sure, as MIRAA stated "k1ck have already signed up for the final event, but they may still attend the qualifier in order to save up some money." The same might happen with DoW, unless they are rich guys :)

seems so lol

2011-02-06 00:36

The organization does not pay the expenses, the players did. We are not rich, go to London is not as expensive as you think.

2011-02-06 16:49

coachi said in www.defs.org that they will not attend at the qualifier.

Good for Portugal, now lets hope that somehow DoW will do the same and we will have 3 teams at the tournament :)

2011-02-06 11:08

Not qualified..They both signed up, but are both paying their expenses,they might choose to attend this qualifier so they can travel at free cost, but it would be nice if they didn't do such so we could have 3 Portuguese teams going, which would be pretty good..for Portuguese cs now'a'days.

Agreed, would be awesome to see 3 portuguese teams in a single international event :)

2011-02-05 23:53

NICE

2011-02-05 23:54

k1ck & dow they are both signed up .. , go paranoids

2011-02-05 23:54

GL kick

2011-02-05 23:54

to be fair i think thats a pretty retarded idea. :/ allready got the best Portuguese team coming why not hold the qualifier in sweden or something like that to attract even better teams. bit dumb

2011-02-05 23:56

1 reply

because this was probably something suggested by EPTournaments (who organise tournaments in Portugal) and 4Kings gave them the nod.

2011-02-05 23:58

Yeah spend loads of money on bringing a portrugal team to lan....even thoough they are already signed up. Wow

2011-02-06 00:51

ryanair to any airport in england then either train or megabus.com for like €5-10max to london. Train would be afew €'s quite cheap seeing as ryanair are dirrrrt cheap for flights around europe to UK. Theres loads of hostels in london for for like €10-20 a night aswell just search the web, probably cheaper for someone to come over than most people in the UK to get a direct train to london lol

2011-02-06 01:03

Its better for portugal if K1ck dont show at the qualifier. Two portuguese teams in a international event is always good!

2011-02-06 01:07

vamos k1ck! :D <3

2011-02-06 01:11

hmm 4kings seem to because like the dreamhack in sweden :P or kode5

2011-02-06 01:22

Maybe this is a stupid question but how come they dont have qualifiers in France, Germany, Ukraine, Russia, Nordic, etc why just Portugal or are there other ones? Just seems a bit off that they only have qualifiers for one country

2011-02-06 01:37

Because this is an ideia of Eptournaments, which is a portuguese organization. They're ideia it's to pay the expenses to the best team in order to attend the 4kings lan "efortless". If some french organization decides to do it, France will have one too!

So really they only have the money to send one team so they decided to hold a qualifier from their home country I get it

2011-02-06 04:02

1 reply

In fact, there are 2 teams in portugal which have already payed everything (DoW and k1ck). this qualifier, as far as I know, will give payed expenses to the ones who apply to the qualifier, but I dont know if the event has room for one more portuguese team if k1ck and dow do not attend to the qualifier, since as you said above, there are other countries with better teams then portugal's ones which deserve a spot in the event too and have already sign in at the 4kings event site

2011-02-06 16:26

GL to the attending teams ;D

2011-02-06 01:52

2011-02-06 02:11

the reason we are starting off in Portugal is to build up the northern EU region, one country at a time. Essentially, we want to run a host of qualifiers per event that are hosted with partnering organizers...which would allow teams that are unable to fully fund themselves, the opportunity to travel Europe and compete in video games. Portugal seemed to be a clear option, since it is right next door to the UK and this is our first event. So definitely a good place to start from and expand outwards. Going to be fun :D!

cs is more active in Portugal than in Spain. And if some spanish even organizer had talk to the 4k lan organization with a rock solid project they would have a qualifier to. To put it easy to you.. Portugal will make a lan event to raise money, this money will pay for the traveling expensives of this team. 4k only gave them the authority to use their name on this event.

2011-02-06 13:48

e-sports scene in spain is almost dead :S maybe some team come to portugal attend for the qualifier. should be nice :D

2011-02-06 14:37

nice english =)

2011-02-06 14:44

spain is definitely a great place to host a qualifier. We've been in contact with GameGune for the summer series of our event. Portugal will be our first event with partners, so we would like to see this evolve first before starting something new. hopefully people will agree with us, and show us that they would like the next qualifier in their country :D
