Counter-Strike: Dreamhack 08 Summer WGT CS Melee

By: Luis Mira - Published June 13, 2008 at 11:59 AM EDT - Writer Archive
The Dreamhack 2008 Summer World GameMaster Tournament kicks off this Sunday with sixteen teams playing for all the glory.
The WGT Counter-Strike tournament will begin with a group stage, which will see the winner and the runner-up of each group qualifying for the single elimination phase.

There are still four spots in the tournament that are up for grabs, which will be decided through the LAN qualifier at DreamHack Summer.

Although Made in Brazil was expected at the tournament, the winner of the last WGT event decided not to attend Dreamhack, alleging lack of training as the reason to miss out on WGT action.

It was later confirmed that the Brazilian team would be replaced by Spirit of Amiga, who comes to this tournament with its latest additions, Brian “hpx” Christensen and Jack "wazorN" Henriksen.

Team mTw comes into this event high on confidence following a first-place finish at KODE5 Global Finals. The Danish team pretty much stormed over its opponents to take back home a sum of $25,000.

Denmark's top squad team mates, who will play this tournament for the Excello organisation, has been riding high on form, having defeated mTw in the Dreamhack qualifier, and it will be interesting to see how far this team can go.

Meet Your Makers managed just a fourth-place finish at KODE5 and will be looking forward to this event to put an end to its title drought which has seen it not lift a major trophy since ESWC 2007.

This event will be of a great importance to both SK Gaming and fnatic. With Marcus "zet" Sundström interested in a return to 1.6 action, a poor campaign this weekend may well result in roster changes.
