Counter-Strike: g3x to miss ESWC

By: Luis Mira - Published July 03, 2007 at 7:37 PM EDT - Writer Archive
G3nerationx has confirmed it will not attend the ESWC tournament this week due to financial problems.
The Brazilian team secured the berth to the ESWC tournament following the second placing achieved in the local qualifier, losing to Made in Brazil in the Grand Final.

Due to the winner of the Brazilian qualifier being the only one whose expenses were paid by the local committee, g3x and LAN-Sports - Exotic would have to pay all the necessary expenses, a decision that made Wilton “zews” Prado of LS - Exotic not attend the event as GotFrag reported.

G3x engaged in talks with its sponsors in order to know whether or not they could support the team with the expenses, a possibility that was denied by its partners.

"Unfortunately, due to the high prices of the Brazil-France tickets, the high season we're in and the short period we had to have these expenses paid, the g3nerationX team will not participate in the ESWC 2007," g3x said in the official press-release.

The g3x squad will now begin a short vacation period, after which it will begin practicing for the WCG 2007, something that will happen later this month.
