HLTV.org has learned that Lions' Counter-Strike team will be present at the World Cyber Games 2010 Grand Finals.

It has merely been eight days since the Norwegian organization acquired the former H2k Gaming squad. Their newest acquisition had a great start just six days later, when the team managed to win ASUS Summer 2010.

When the team donned the colors of H2k, they also attended the WCG Nordic qualifier in Helsinki. Although falling out after a loss to SK in the semifinal, the team were still qualified to the Grand Finals later this year.

Adding to the fact that WCG regulations say that the qualified slot rightfully belongs to the players, and not organizations, Lions have now chosen to travel to Los Angeles to attend the grand event.

Lions will present the following team at WCG 2010:

Richard "Xizt" Landström
 Niklas "
niko" Johansson
 Frej "
kHRYSTAL" Sjöström
 Emil "
FYRR73" Karlsson
 Björn "
threat" Pers

The 2010 edition of the World Cyber Games will take place from September 30 through to October 3 at Los Angeles' Convention Center. In addition, Lions will also attend the MSI BEAT IT finals in Beijing, running from September 4-6.

Nice, I think they will have good chances of going really deep in the tournament. Also looking forward seeing them in Beijing this weekend.

2010-08-31 17:00:44

2010-08-31 17:04:21

I haven't had such smooth experiences with gaming on wi-fi to be honest.

You'd better make a call to them it's better
bcuz they dont have high efficiency.
Something's shit between 'Haofang' and MSI.

Lions will do some damage in WCG grand finals they have a great line up now and Threat is really doing great as an in game leader and he is also hitting his shots. I think Lions will be a great team in future.

Good luck!

YEAAAAAAAAAH
2010-08-31 17:15:27
where can I see full list of WCG participants?
2010-08-31 17:16:52
wait, ..how did they qualify? i understood only 1 team from swedem gets a slot to wcg from winning the nordic qualifier ...
2010-08-31 17:27:16
no 1. team has all expenses paid,all teams could go if they pay with their own money
2010-08-31 17:30:37
being the best nation on CS history, the WCG is so cheap.
2010-08-31 19:56:16
yeah its retarded,it wont be the same event without fnatic.
2010-09-01 22:34:53
they have 3 slots(FIN,SWE and NOR), but only one team has the trip and acomodation paid..I think PG it's also qualified and if they have a sponsor they can participate..
