The Counter-Strike competition will be a four-team tournament which will have in Made in Brazil and fnatic its latest names, despite the recent reports suggesting the participation of the current ESWC and WCG champion PGSPokerstrategy.cc.

MiBR and fnatic will join two Asian teams in the tournament, eSTRO and X7-Hacker. The Korean side failed to qualify for the ESWC second group stage, while the Chinese squad wasn't able to attend, having been replaced by wNv.cn.

In the Warcraft III event, 4Kings' talents Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen and Yoan "ToD" Merlo are the only European names competing. Although the winner of the ESWC tournament, Seong Deok "SoJu" Lee, will not attend the event, many of Asia's strongest players will compete, such as Jae Ho "Moon" Jang, Xiaofeng "Sky" Li or Jae Wook "Lucifer" Noh.

With a total prize purse of $71,000 USD, the tournament will take place from August 9-12th in Seoul, South Korea.

4 estro

#ruinous

i understand why they would invite 2 asians teams.. at least they chose the 2 best! fnatic is a good choice and so is mibr, but a better team like pentagram should have been chosen instead.

Only two good teams now are PGS and Virtus Pro.

MiBR FTW!

s(�.^)z

is like WEF isn't?

if your going to have 4 teams pentagram has to be one of them.

wanted to see 8 teams there :( fnatic/Hacker will win

there are 4 teams only because the korean public hardly cares about cs, so they make a small and short event

Insane price money if you consider there's only 4 teams. GL fnatic.

CSS is bad

should be PGS, FNATIC, MIBR, NOA
ahahahahah top4 eswc

prize distribution is so wow oriented
maybe i'm playin the wrong game =x

there are useful links on my profile (for 1.6) so check it out

#19 where do you see wow ?

well, you can't complain about the prize money.
it's a 4 team competition, and a team will win at least 2.5k.
mibr got 4th at ESWC, that has a lot of matches and teams, and won what?
nothing

but i guess the teams (or their sponsors) would be paying for the travelling & accomodation costs?

#22 I think weg pays for that, would surprise me if they didn't because that's a very expensive trip.

dude of course they have to put in some asian teams...its IN asia and run by an asian organization holy crap. if anything they should of made it an 8 team tournament or just subbed pgs for mibr but they probably wanted to get teams from different regions bla blah

Imo, it will be more interesting to see these 4 teams playing for the win. They all have almost the same level (considering that it is on Asia, where the asian teams are used to perform better than on international competitions), so anyone can have this.
If PGS join this, they'd probably win, so it wouldn't be very interesting...

no PGS?!

HI!

#20 I think he ment WC3 ...
First place is 20k for 1 player in wc3 apposed to 20 k for 5 in CS ... crazy

I Started the FURY craze!

weg became a 4 days tournament.

这里是哪？︻┳═一 I am Hit!

PGS > fnatic estro mibr x7 hacker

KURWA MACH!! >;|

impsta - DKTWHM : http://files.filefront.com/impsta+dktwhmw..

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

should be PGS and NoA ;o

go mibr!

You guys have to realize that the majority of this work was done MONTHS ago. It is only now becoming public to all of us. It's a shame that PGS isn't on the list because they certainly deserve it. This is also not a WEG event. The city government of Seoul wanted to host an international tournament. This event is funded by entirely by the city of Seoul and the government. WEG is only organizing the event because their parent company, CJ Media, won the public bidding to organize the event.

#27 RTS > FPS in Asia/Korea, no surprise.

Of course the Koreans like RTS more than FPS games. The only popular FPS games in South Korea are Sudden Death and a game called Special Forces or something. The Korean CS scene is dead.
