By: Luis Mira - Published June 20, 2008 at 4:01 PM EDT - Writer Archive
The Electronic Sports World Cup has confirmed changes to list of attending teams at the Masters tournament.
The event will take place from July 4th-6th at the Palais Omnisports of Paris and will feature all the ESWC official games, Counter-Strike: 1.6, Defense of the Ancients, Quake 3 Arena, Trackmania Nations, and Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne.

The ESWC Masters of Paris will reward the winners with money and a spot in the ESWC 2008 event, to take place in California during the summer.

According to the new list published by the ESWC, some teams have cancelled their participation in the event, such as Asian pair wNv.cn and e-STRO or Spanish team Nextlevel e-Sports Club.

On the other hand, the organisation has confirmed that Spirit of Amiga, Team Alternate and Excello have been added to the list.

So far, the ESWC has 19 confirmed teams in the tournament, which means that there are still 3 slots to fill.

The confirmed list of attendees is now the following:

United States Evil Geniuses
Finland roccat
Finland Excello
France Get2Gev e-Sports
France emuLate
France dimension4
France Against All Authority
Denmark Spirit of Amiga
Germany Team Alternate
Germany mousesports
Sweden SK Gaming
Sweden fnatic
Spain x6tence e-Sports Club
Czech Republic nEophyte
Denmark mTw
Poland Meet Your Makers
