The Evil Geniuses have been added to the prestigious list of top Counter-Strike teams that will be attending the ESWC Grand Final in San Jose later this month. Team EG originally failed to qualify due to the US qualifiers being held at the same time as the KODE5 Final. EG then were unable to earn a spot at the ESWC Masters in Paris.

EG will be the fourth American team that will be competing in the ESWC along with X3O, MoB Gaming and 34 who all qualified through the ESWC USA qualifier. GotFrag spoke with Alex "chibsquad" Garfield, manager of the Evil Geniuses, and this is what he had to say about the situation.

"Well, we had a very rough experience in the ESWC online qualifier; I don't want to get into the details, but as everyone knows, we were forfeited out of the qualifier while representing the USA in Moscow at KODE5," said Garfield. "We didn't feel this was fair, and after the qualifier we submitted a grievance to the Head Admin for ESWC USA as well as the ESWC Organizing Committee in France. Last week, we were offered a berth, and graciously accepted it. We feel that ESWC made the right decision in this case and are very grateful to both the folks in France as well as those in the US for offering us this opportunity."

prepare to see chE and Nepo go negative each match

im ready to see che fail IRL WOOOO

#LANbeforeTIME ~~ dvt is teh n008135t (>-__-)>: dont talk to me anymore. *sadface**

this team looks a lot worse seeing Nepo's name there. No offense to him.

GL to EG

waste of a spot

I would rather own a team like x6tence who are in no1's top10 than own this lineup.

(. .*)ittst

gl but they aren't going to get anywhere.

r u serious =.=

#5 how so? He honestly does not do any worse than most of EG.

BLACKHAWK

ESWC along with X3O, MoB Gaming and 34 who all qualified through the ESWC USA qualifier.

ARE U SH_ITT_ING ME LOL TEAM34?! LOLOLOLOLOLOL

I fart when I pee, how bout you?

team34 thats got to be a joke

8 skizzy

i really dont see them doing better with nepo, just an opinion

should prolly judge them after theyve played

they need to pick shiT up

Quad 6600 2.40GHz - EVGA 9600 GT - SB Audigy ZS - 4GB OCZ Ram

Unless I missed some thing... I thought it was top 2 teams - it should only be x3o and MoB...

TEAM34 roster o.0?

I Started the FURY craze!

this is great... watch out nothing is gunna scope u punk ass bish's out

this is nepo's chance to make a name for himself, he'd better not fvck this up.

good luck NineSpot :D

http://tllg.net - My URL Shortener!

go nepo
and 34!

I'd say:

1. MoB
2. EG
3. x3o
4. 34

In terms of who will do better than another in the tournament.

#kentucky

faculty,mym,eg...
now plz invite all big teams and u dont need any qualifiers.

one good turn deserves another. get evolution back.

without evo they be lucky if they even manage to win a match.

34 ? who are those clowns?

Funny how MYM had the same issue and they had to fight for their spot in ESWC Masters and lick PGS' ass to get a spot and now some bunch of terribads that wont pass the groupstage get invited for no reason.

SNEEAKY LIKE SNAKE

they will get raped

"fRoD doesnt cheat" "#7 online/north america, you do the math" -qu4kE_

I think MoB is going to get raped also, every time I see them playing cevo its like a different roster every 2 weeks. If they had a steady 5 for along time and bootcamped I think they would do well actually.

Spain isnt getting a spot either which I think is a waste since Ledpc could prolly qualify and everyone likes watching musambani play.

Either way thank god MYM is going and it is going to be an amazing event, the field is pretty solid.

"I never thought I'd see hacker get bent over the table on d2, but I think it just happened" -jESUIT

Sending 34 there is an absolute waste of money. I doubt they're even going to win one match.

MoB; I'm predicting they're not going to do that great.

EG & x3o are good, they should hold their own.

sad...Team A+e which is the no.1 team in india coundlt attend ESWC In india as the qualifiers were cancelled in the last minute..why not give them a chance..F*%$% u noob organiser

LMAO @ EG

Why does USA get 4 slots? And who the hell is 34?

http://www.uk-ct.net/gaming_news/4749/esw..

team list if anyone wants it

#3 has it :|

*DEAD* m Y m Neo : laugh now cry later cogut :D

So USA gets 4 slots...

Makes total sense seeing how USA cs is really on par with the rest of the world...

Hopefully Che can manage to get more then 2 kills a half this time around as well

GL EG ;)

34 = HolyMan nolimit thrice tigerz twizzy

Dizza, I see you put that in order of amazingness, thank you.

Like honestly the only reason this is happening is because ESWC is in SJ this year and it's tied in with that nvision thing or whatever.

And who is this 34 team? Isn't ESWC supposed to be the best of the best but yet we get some random american team thrown into the most competitive tournament of the year? Goodluck getting out of group play

FINALLY LOL n0thing is gonna leave after this tourny no doubt about it prepare to see 16-0 16-0 16-0 16-0

EG.lurppis www.myeg.net mYm|zet[A] www.mymym.com

i like to play with my balls

in case u are all retarded, the host country for ESWC always gets extra spots, just like france always did because they were hosted over there

u think if there was 1 american team, people would show up and watch? they need at least 4 for people to even think about coming to see a bunch of nonamers

neo is the best cs player ever, if you disagree, you are a scrub.

p00nhandlers/lagblank > eg/34

ESWC is in USA this year which is why we prolly see more USA teams than other places...why would you complain? now USA has a "better" chance to getting a good finish

when ESWC was in france, there were alot of local french teams too..why not support instead of hate all the time, lulz.

#47 has it

Broken hearted :/

You are wrong #46 & #47, except for ESWC 2003 (6 french teams). Then it was 3 teams in 2004, and only 2 for the next years.
