paistit replace EG at e-Stars Seoul

The e-Stars Seoul organizing committee has announced that Evil Geniuses will not be attending the 2011 edition of the South Korean event and their replacement is found in the Finnish team paistit.

When the voting polls for e-Stars Seoul 2011 closed, Evil Geniuses finished on the very top of the Americas list of teams. Together with UMX.us they would travel to Seoul as the two representatives for Americas.

The e-Stars Seoul organizing committee has today issued a press release, which states that Evil Geniuses will not make it to Seoul, with internal affairs given as the reason. We can only assume that it is the recent lineup change that has led to EG not travelling to Seoul.

By the same token, the committee contacted other American teams, but none of them were able to attend. A team from the European list was then selected, the team matching the criteria following their rank on the poll and the final evaluation period was Finnish team paistit.

With paistit replacing Evil Geniuses for e-Stars Seoul's MSI Beat IT Championship, the list of attending teams now looks as follows:

Frag eXecutors	fnatic	TyLoo	Spero Spera
Natus Vincere	mTw	UMX	SiZ
SK Gaming	x6tence	UMX	Lunatic-Hai
mousesports	paistit	project_kr	ONEPIECE
