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.

Lame. They get to miss out on the only organization that knows how to run an event.

SK LoLz

Anyways this is a shame, g3x is a very talented team, they are on par with MiBr in my opinion. MiBr just edges them out a little.

it's kind of a lot to ask a team to qualify for an even and then pay to fly across the world to it. Especially when they is no guarantee of any prize money. Jeeesh.

Yet another flaw in ESWC's qualifying system. At least host the Qualifiers ages before the actual event, so tickets won't be so expensive, allowing teams to plan out and discuss with sponsors.

Man you Brazillians take everything said here in a wrong way. #8 meant poor as in the sympathetic way that a qualified team are unable to go, not literally poor.

I don't think ESWC will invite any teams, there were already a few missing teams (due to the same reason as g3x) but did not do anything to fill them up.
blbk

I can see them inviting SK because then it would be one hell of a tournament, a CPL

[ Portuguese Version] Desabafo :
mew isso é ridiculo, como os caras querem ir pra frente se năo investem? ?? era uma ótima chance do g3x crescer no exterior, agora eles vem falando que năo tem grana ? năo tem idéia da oportunidade que perderam, por isso que o g3x nunca vai pra frente, só ficam no '' chove-năo-molha''

por isso que e-sports no brasil năo é valorizado, cade o pessoal representando o brasil lá fora ?
praticamente só o mibr é reconhecido fora do brasil, sendo que temos mais talentos do cs, além de apenas 5 integrantes do mibr.

Aposto que muita gente aqui como eu queria ver mais gente do brasil lá fora, além do mibr.
quanto mais gente do brasil mandando bem no exterior, melhor pra nós, melhor pro nome do país.
Quem viu a matéria do SPTV na eswc brasil no Ibirapuera, viu como só '' pincelaram o assunto ''.
Reporter disse : '' A equipe de Rafael foi a melhor nos jogos de tiros " Lol ? olha como eles tem falta de informaçăo...trataram como se fosse um joguinho que vc atira e já era.

No brasil e-sports é como se fosse nada, é como se só ''alguns nerds'' gostassem.
Mas olha a suécia, tem inúmeros clans fortes que săo reconhecidos e levados a sério, Nip, SK,Begrip,Fnatic entre outros, agora olha o brasil, só tem o mibr, e o g3x que afina na hora do vamo ver
Ter que rir de umas piadas dessas, let it be [ End of portuguese Version] >.<

G3x lose a Great change to show their skills in a international tournament, I just think it's insane,they didn't know what they're missing....I'd enjoy to see more than mibr showing Brazilian skills, creating a good name of our country, I'm mibr fan for sure, but I want to see more clans than only 5 players of mibr, then all world could know that we have a strong name also in e-sport, not only in soccer(Ronaldinho,Pelé etc..).

In sweden have more than 1 clan strong winning and creating a name.(Nip,Sk,Fnatic,Begrip)
I'm waiting for a Brazilian e-sports have more than 1 clan of counter strike enjoying success.

Isso é jogar talento no lixo!

#23 I completely agree with you...

I'm also sad that a great team as g3x abandoned this chance to show the hole world how brazilians are great in e-sports as we are in soccer, voleyball, formula 1, etc.

go MiBR! o/

#4 go to sleep... the guy was just sorry that g3x is about to miss the main event of the year. it's because of guys like u that we brazilians r called fanboys, and in this case, i do have to agree with them.

for me it's ok. g3x.intel can go back to brazil and start winning it all over here with average teams, while mibr is in europe traveling and playin in a top level with world class teams. its a catch22 ... lmao

they should give this spot to another norway or finland team. Giving to sk doesn't make sense as sweden is already given too many spots.
