Hope one Turkish team will show up but I am not sure about it. If there is still ex TeamQuash, it will be more clear to see the future. But, old times is old.

still, 32 teams.
2010-03-17 15:33:31
32 teams, but entrance fee is 0, so the prize pot is really huge for such a online tournament =))
2010-03-17 16:16:47
The prize-pool for WES Masters is provided only because of the courtesy of Arbalet and there is no actual sponsors for this event right now.

Therefore i'd say $3500 is a good money for the tournament with no sponsorship ;P

Post for #25 (davidfy) and #7 (guidson-):

The spots policy subjects to main WES guidlines which mean promoting eSports nationally and worldwide.

This means that some countries were given a separate/additional slot because it is reasonable to promote esports nationally. In other words that means 1 spot for Baltics because teams from LT/EE/LT are good enough to join Open European Qualifiers and get themselves a spot ;P
2010-03-17 16:43:41
yea, its true
2010-03-17 17:10:23
