Time: 2010-04-13 16:46

The organisation behind Arbalet Cup has announced a new Europe tournament with a staggering $37,000 prize purse.

The competition, which will once again have the Inferno Online center in Stockholm as its stage, will be played from 14-16 May.

Although only ten teams have so far been confirmed, the tournament will feature a total of 16 teams, with most of the remaining six attendees expected to come from Arbalet Cup CIS.

The teams confirmed so far are as follows:

fnatic
SK Gaming
H2k Gaming
Meet Your Makers
mTw
mousesports
Team Alternate
WeMade FOX
Frag eXecutors
Evil Geniuses

In addition to the main tournament, there will also be a $5,000 All-Star Game featuring players from the attending teams.

SK Gaming are the current Arbalet Cup Europe holders, following a 2-1 victory over mTw in the Grand Final of the last event, which took place in December. Stay tuned to HLTV.org for more info regarding the upcoming Arbalet Cup Europe.

Hope to see cbteam etc. there

Indeed, it has been a long time since a Norwegian team has been able to competete among top teams.

imo cbteam has been a top 5 a while by now.
they could easily beat h2k, mym, alternate, wemadefox. but vs fnatic sk and mtw it would be a bit harder obviously,..

easily beat mYm, alternate or WMF? definatly not
2010-04-13 17:36:38
deffinatly can beat them, but probaly not easily, but they showed yesterday that theyre a team to look out for. 16-14 vs mtw is a good result for a norweigan team
2010-04-13 18:39:34
yeh I know they're a good team in my opinion too, just not a top5 team yet, and not able to <I>easily </I>beat mYm & co

what I said before!
2010-04-13 23:29:57
you can't say it now, since they didn't attend any huge event yet, but if they got chance to attend, they'd prove how good they really are :)
2010-04-13 18:50:57
cbteam beating Wemade FOX easily? That wasn't even funny.
2010-04-13 20:44:12
lol what a dumb thing to say, they definitely cannot "easily" beat any of those teams, and would not be the favorites vs. MYM and WMF
2010-04-13 21:19:56
w0w Arbale >3 where NAVI?:D
2010-04-13 16:48:31
Would be a shame if Na'Vi didnt come, but It'll be a sick tournament anyway :p

good
only the best team's are playing this tn
i think SK,MYM ( if kHRYSTAL joins ) or fnatic to take it
it will be good to see SK vs MYM, kHRYSTAL said that he will make some "SERIOUS DAMAGE" if he play against SK.
may the best win
2010-04-13 16:51:30
kHRYSTAL sucks ;)
2010-04-13 20:42:20

2010-04-13 17:14:49
Why doesn't he collect money and make an event similar to IEM World championships? Would be cool tbh, <3 Arbalet

yes I am agree, with this money and so many events in the year, he need a organization with big world events like the old CPL Summer or Winter or make a world championship like ESL..
2010-04-13 17:39:01
He wants to improve esport in countries like Russia, Ukraine and Kazahstan. This is his main goal, but he also makes Europe Cup, with good prize money

2010-04-13 18:05:01
Arbalet is the man. His tournaments will probably make the best CS year since... quite a long time.

2008 was pretty good too, but 2010 is looking like one hell of a year.
2010-04-13 18:09:20
yeah,he is really doing much for CS community...
2010-04-13 18:16:51

2010-04-13 18:44:32
dude did YOU read it?
the news says "with most of the remaining six attendees expected to come from Arbalet Cup CIS."
"most of the teams","expected", it's not sure all of them will come from CIS...so stop being that arrogant and read all the news before you even try to blame me...
2010-04-13 19:15:37
Oh, Im sorry, man. Of course, u r right. I should be more attentive.

quote:
"SK Gaming are the current Arbalet Cup Europe holders, following a 2-1 victory over mTw in the Grand Final of the last event"

this is not true, they won 1:1 since they came from the upper bracket unlike mTw who came from the lower bracket
2010-04-13 19:39:02
would like to see coL attend, as long as they can bootcamp beforehand. good lineup of teams tho lol

Stay tuned to HLTV.org for more info regarding the upcoming Arbalet Cup Europe.

Europe???EG??WMF??
2010-04-13 21:14:10
Frag eXecutors !

NEO !
2010-04-13 21:21:40
I'm 100% positive Na`Vi and UNiTED will also be attending, probably even another Russian/Ukrainian team, maybe forZe or PinG.

but i would say the ten teams listed, aside from h2k, could all be considered top10 in the world, aside from maybe a few that could be argued.

looks like an awesome tournament :)
2010-04-13 21:21:41
MYM top 10? lost hard from top teams like H2k, SK en fnatic?
2010-04-25 21:59:07
without na`vi ..

mouz will win :>
2010-04-13 21:52:57

and word to the arbalet organisation - I LOVE YOU

2010-04-13 22:44:55
SIXER+mSx+J3r+MaT+RiGo can grab top3 world easily, but as you users in HLTV.org don't know, french kids don't have same mentality as swe,dk,uk,de,fi they have like groups & everyone have his own mentality and private-jokes & friends so i think they will never be in the same team because they aren't in the same 'bubble' :>
2010-04-13 22:46:19
"top3 in the world" and "easily" never go hand-in-hand :)
2010-04-14 01:42:42
Na'Vi was attending and won Arbalet Cup Asia. Maybe we will have some sort of global final ?
2010-04-13 22:51:43

2010-04-14 00:54:20
