Brazil without ESWC, FIRE, KODE5

9-7-2011 15:57

Anderson "Aneurex" dos Santos has revealed that Brazil will miss out on qualifiers for ESWC, KODE5 and FIRE this year.

Dos Santos, who has organized gaming events in Brazil for several years, said on Wednesday that due to the lack of sponsors, the nation will be without qualifiers for the three events.

Earlier, dos Santos claimed there would be no national stop for the 2011 edition of ESWC, which meant FIRE could very well be the only international competition available for Brazilian teams.

However, this year's FIRE event, which was supposed to take place in Ecuador, has been canceled as no support for qualifiers has been found and teams will not be able to make the trip.

In addition to sowing doubt in a ESWC stop in Brazil, dos Santos made the same remark about KODE5. The 2010 event in Peru was a tragedy, with $40,000 of the prize money still being unpaid.

Little to nothing is known about a World Cyber Games qualifier for Brazil as of yet, with the local website not displaying any updated information and still showing the 2010 theme.

Sad for Brazilian teams only WCG left for them i guess

GameGune and DreamHack qualifiers could still be a possibility. Edit: Well, perhaps not qualifiers for the former this year, but yeah.

Will you cover Gamegune ? Why don't you cover ISC8 ? (I don't see any photos)

2011-07-09 21:12

I guess there will be IEM6 qual too :)

idk mate, if sponsors didn't show up for ESWC, i'm not sure anyone would buy the license to host a 1.6 qualy... but it's just a guess on me, ofc.

at least there will be IEM6 America Finals invites like for FireGamers/paiN like last year (?) maybe we will see FireGamers in e-Stars aswell

2011-07-09 16:11

ofc there are some possibilities yet, I'm just talking bout qualies, invites are always a possibility, if they can cost their expenses (which FG can't)

2011-07-09 16:13

12 replies

so FG can't even go to GameGune, while paiN can ? I thought FG was better organisation than paiN(CnB), because they were #1 Brazil team for 2years~

2011-07-09 16:15

11 replies

pAin is able to send their CS team to GG, which CNB couldn't, that's mainly why they switch from 1 orga to another FG had already loads of troubles with supporting their teams, and I'm not totally sure they're an orga that can substantially support their squad just without getting a huge profit of it hltv.org/news/2815-firegamers-to-miss-ga..

man why u so "trool" they are talking about brazilian teams dont shame our country!

2011-07-15 02:04

so it all surges back to biz.

2011-07-10 04:04

Compared to paiN, FG is not much of an organization, it's just a gamer shop, just like GamerHouse. But paiN is bigger, has more sponsors, more lineups, and most importantly has "FERRER" the best manager in Brasil, he took many sponsors to paiN since he joined the organization. Although they're still a shadow of 2005 mibr as an organization, they're still the biggest in Brasil.

2011-07-09 22:41

sponsors are less and less interested in cs FireGamers should participate in GameGune, like paiN, because i guess we won't see Brazilians for along time in international scene after GameGune

this isnt about cs , its about eswc , kode5 wich feature more games than cs alone ...so its not about cs lacking sponsors, its about brazillian esports lacking sponsors

2011-07-09 18:32

it's possible that KODE5 and ESWC invite FG for those events, but i'm 100% sure that they won't have the money to afford it... BR CS R.I.P 2000~2009

It's not about what you mean but what you write. Small little tiny difference. I'm sure I'm a troll because of that, I mean, he's just overreacting, even if he meant "brazil cs scene died" which is hard to determine, as he didn't write so, he's still overreacting, brazilian teams kept on with their "cs lives" after cogu retired. Keep on understanding the meaning of things, I'll just keep on reading them.

you see, on good server providers, our latency stays 25 - 70, and that's pretty good tough, but on the other hand, good servers cost from 50 to 70 Reais, wich would be something around 30 Dollars. Without sponsorship, that's a hard cost to sustain.
