With a new roster and sponsor, this group of top level Finnish players will look to finally take an international tournament. The Finnish teams have previously been known for inconsistent play with moments of greatness, but hopefully this roster has a better practice regimen and is able to put up consistent top level play. Their group should be a breeze, however based on past performances from these players, don't be too surprised if they drop a map in group play. Anticipate advancement to the top of their group but depending on who qualifies from the BYOC there could be some surprises. Crack Clan's biggest weakness is consistency, and for them to win this tournament they're going to have to show some that they have not shown previously.




Having just managed to sneak an invite to the tournament with the unfortunate drop out of team ProStaker, DTS should provide some solid competition to the tournament as they have been showing in the past few weeks that they are a strong team to be reckoned with. This is a team that can definately upset Crack Clan if they bring their A game. DTS has shown considerable strengths on all maps recently as they have been featured in two lans within the past few weeks. With strong play from everyone on their team, DTS will make it out of group play and is a likely candidate to be seen in the semi-finals and possibly the Grand Finals depending on how the brackets work out. DTS is an excellent team to watch, and spectators should be happy that this team was able to secure an invite when ProStaker had to drop out for financial reasons.




This is one of the lesser known Swedish teams that will likely be nipping at the heels of the top teams, putting up a few rounds here and there. They will also be fighting fiercely with the other lower skilled teams here in an attempt to place higher. With known players like pb and Zyppe this team will hopefully have the firepower to put up some nice matches with other teams of their caliber, but will likely fall out possibly finishing 1-3 in group play.
