Lions replace PwR for DH Summer

13-6-2011 21:54

DreamHack have announced that Power Gaming will be unable to attend DreamHack Summer, forwarding their invitation to Lions.

Finnish-based Power Gaming were originally issued an invitation to the DreamHack Summer 2011 MSI Championship at the same time as Moscow Five and fnatic.

However, the team will for unknown reasons not be able to attend the Swedish event and their invite have been recovered by DreamHack.

To fill the slot left empty by Power Gaming, the organizers have forwarded the invitation to Lions, who will be the third Swedish team to receive an invite.

While attending DreamHack Summer, Lions will compete in the main tournament as well as the Inferno Online League FINAL4, where they are up against dateam, fnatic and SK Gaming.

Lions will have the following lineup at DreamHack Summer:

Niklas "niko" Johansson
Frej "kHRYSTAL" Sjöström
Emil "FYRR73" Karlsson
Mattias "Snajdan" Andersen
Dennis "dennis" Edman

The participants list for the DreamHack Summer 2011 MSI Championship now look as follows:

Natus Vincere	mTw
SK Gaming	playArt
x6tence	Kaos
fnatic	Lions
Moscow Five	Millenium
BYOC Team #1	BYOC Team #2

HLTV.org will be on site in Jönköping to bring you all of the action happening at DreamHack Summer 2011.

Excellent!

I mean 'most skilled' is the best fragger as igl. If you get me right I don't know why you reacted so strange. His K/D ratio is 1.17 atm, when for example zeus has 1.14, snajdan has 0.87, kuben has 1.09 etc...

2011-06-14 15:34

in Full gaming/SoA times maybe.. now he dont frag so much

+1 , snajdan teams > carn teams [ I AM TALKING ABOUT PAST, I KNOW THAT NOWADAYS CARN >>>> SNAJDAN] , dont get me wrong carn fan's , but imo the only reason that snajdan doesnt got the level of carn it's because he quitted cs and started to play wow instead , that's the main reason , do you guys remember of SK|Fisker SK|VildeN SK|ahl SK|SnajdaN SK|SpawN ? snajdan igl's ability's are just insane , really hope that i can see him once again leading SK , probably wont happen but he already proved his value.

Snajdan is no where compared to cArn, YES he is an ingame leader, but cArn is a leader, is someone that makes top players and form them, is a great ingame leader and got abilities to clutch and frag and even madfrag when he is in his best events. Snajdan is the best ingameleader of gunrounds i have to agree, and and one of the best, and Snajdan teams were never better than cArn's because if you compare SK and fnatic skill whise and strat whise you will understand that it's not even possible to compare between them. I can't see him leading SK because he don't have the skill that is needed to lead them in the best championships, and to add something, i think that this team will fail hard:)

There's always a lot of stress involved with hosting a professional tournament, like the one at DreamHack, with a high amount of teams. Besides this, maybe the organizers want the tournament to be more "exclusive", with not too many teams.

I think the organization of the DreamHack gave more priority to Starcraft 2.

2011-06-14 09:01

That's true as well. Starcraft 2 is this year's main game. But I believe the organizers wanted to emphasize the exclusivity part, too.

fnatic have only asked DH to not let Delpan play without the contracts being delt with. They have no authority to demand it. The picture can be changed by you telling me that DH have announced anything regarding this, but I've surely not seen anything about the matter.

as long as DH haven't said anything, I don't see the reason to ask "how can he play?".

its not 100% yet Greykarn at rakaka said they were going to talk about the situation. 2 contracts who "own" him?

Well, fnatic see the reason to ask "How can he play?" There should be a compromise before his play.

Well, doesnt make sense to have qualifiers in benelux and spain anyway since theres better teams elsewhere.

I think lurppis said he's spending the summer in the USA, and natu announced already in april this year that he's quitting the game for now at least. The only player in PwR who I imagine has interest in the game anymore is plastE, who seems to be with OK now.
