The Los Angeles Extreme Masters stop will be held at the E for All Expo from October 3rd-5th and will feature both Counter-Strike: 1.6 and World of Warcraft.

The ESL had released a provisional list of attending teams earlier this month, a roster which included some of Europe's big-guns, such as Meet Your Makers, fnatic and SK Gaming.

It has now been confirmed that Made in Brazil and mTw, as well as six teams from the United States, have been added to the list.

This said, Extreme Masters LA will have the following Counter-Strike names:

France

sweden to take it

Too many teams from USA in my opinion , but it can be nice to see j1n PoV & FD tried to battle against top teams from europe.

This event will be amazing for sure :) good luck.

guardians going? nice

Im not trying to impress you, but im batman..

#2 of course there are a lot of US teams, it's being held here and teams have to pay their own way to the event. I highly doubt ESL turned down any applications from top international teams to make room for j1n, so it's not like it's some sort of unfair bias. Either way though, I hope some teams from the US can step up so we get extra qualifier spots for the World Finals :)

the US WCG qualifier is held at the same fair, so US teams were available in abundance

first team on the replacement list is rsports btw, should any team not be able to attend

guardians to pull some upsets, you heard it here first.

where is coL ?

coL needs to be added.. Remove j1n or add two more teams one being coL!

col is never gonna go to a lan for 1.6 get over it

1. SK Gaming
2. x3o
3. fnatic
4. mTw
5. mYm

I think SK with zet finally gets that win they are looking for at an international event. x3o will continue their great play from ESWC to nab second. While fnatic and mTw battle for 3rd/4th and mYm will have yet another let down after a big win.
