steelseries sponsor ? fnatic is a steelseries team !
that's why they are in this cup ...
2010-02-09 19:49:42
almost all big organisations are sponsored by SteelSeries?
2010-02-09 21:52:47
The news is not totally correct, the cup was planned from beginning with a special guest, which was indeed fnatic in the end. The substitute team for Alternate is Tera.


Team Alternate won't be able to step up, because Manuel 'approx' Zeitz is on ski vacation. As substitution the new team of Tera Mindfactory will play this cup.

I'm surprised fnatic are bothered,

So they will pay travel and accommodation costs, to at best win Video Cards they dont need (They use MSI Notebooks) or Steelseries products (which they are a TierA sponsored team)

Like i understand teams play for the "fun and competition" but with their massive schedules i thought this would be a tournament to skip, unless they have some sort of appearance arrangement with the competition or their sponsor (steelseries).
2010-02-09 20:15:45
You think they play for the prizes? :D
2010-02-09 20:29:13
Guess I forgot to mention, its online..
2010-02-09 20:43:31
That explains it
2010-02-09 20:46:10
Players from fnatic will let their nephews play online, but with aim, and nobody will be suspicious. :D
2010-02-09 23:33:23
They don't have an massive schedule, they've been free from tournaments since they lost to mouz, can't remember when that was but it was a while ago. Their next is CeBIT in march or something.
2010-02-09 20:58:02
GeT_RiGhT would play anyway even if he would have to pay for it!
2010-02-09 21:12:59
haha that's so true
2010-02-09 21:59:12
fnatic want to revenge their loss agains mouz... mouz will pwn them again...
2010-02-09 20:17:41
If you really believe in that..
2010-02-09 23:54:12
i don't think so..
2010-02-10 02:34:26
Wow, what a horrible addition
2010-02-09 20:45:46
its online ?
2010-02-09 20:52:41
î dont think fnatic will replace any team the plan was to bring in an international team
2010-02-09 20:53:25
if it will play at mouz home than mouz will win for sure :)
2010-02-09 20:59:32

weird... fnatic usually doesnt participate in tournaments that aren't that big or national and the prize for this is a graphics card.

"It was meant to be an all German tournament, prior to the start of the upcoming ESL Pro Series season. Alternate have however cancelled their participation, due to Manuel "approx" Zeitz being on vacation. To fill the void of Alternate, the tournament found a replacement in the Swedish team fnatic."

Well actually there was a 'special guest' team on the initial list, and alternate got replaced by Tera Gaming not by fnatic. The Swedes simply took the 'special guest' spot - which was meant for a Euro CS team from the very beginning.

It's nice with a re-match between two teams that just played a major final versus each other :D Hopefully gob b, roman and the rest of mouz will be on fire, so they can offer the same kind of resistance as last time.
