e-Stars announces €47,000 for CS
By: MIRAA
Time: 2011-03-22 03:31
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

The e-Stars Seoul organisation has announced that the 2011 edition will hand out approximately €47,000 in the Counter-Strike competition.

The increase in the amount of cash involved in the CS tournament, which in 2010 had a prize purse in the region of €30,000, is related to the fact that this year's event will most likely not feature any game from American publisher Blizzard due to a licensing dispute between GOMtv and South Korean tournament organisers and media outlets.

There will also be a tournament for two South Korean-based games, whose names will be revealed in April.

e-Stars Seoul 2011 will run from 19-21 August at the COEX D Hall in Seoul, with eight participants involved in the Counter-Strike competition.

The tournament will use a double elimination system, though it is still unknown whether the matches will be played in a best-of-one or best-of-three mode.

Contacted by HLTV.org, e-Stars Seoul organiser Can Yang stated that the selection process for the teams has not yet been defined.

You right! But i think that Lions > EG or coL. So -EG, +Lions
2011-03-22 18:42:20
so no team from the Americas? not even ONE? =/
2011-03-23 12:16:01
the tournament is in korea not in sweden...

they should make a big tournament ffs... with more teams.

like 2 teams from south america, 6 from europe, 4 from asia and another 4 internet qualifying teams... making it 16...
well just an opinion..
2011-03-24 22:49:36
I agree. In my #151 post, i just remarked that Lions>coL. No ofence.

savage is the best player in asia imho, even better than solo! and the new fnatic is not as strong as the old one with f0rest, GTR and Gux so losing to tyloo is not sth impossible to happen if tyloo actually play some tactics instead of trying their luck based on their aims
2011-03-25 13:40:23
LOL fnatic » IEM European and you say that they arent good at all?
please
2011-03-25 13:49:14
dude im saying they´re not strong as they used to be after they changed their roster. they´re top team still but i think the quality is not the same, u know.. they lost to na´vi, fx and sk in IEM5 so..

Have you even read the previous thread about e-Stars, where it was written that all of this is because Blizzard sued KeSPA?

Uh? All of this? There has been e-Stars events for the past many years..
2011-03-22 09:28:25
I meant that prize money got up because of that. Forgot to add that.
2011-03-22 11:25:01
btw just one doubt.. just like most of the tournaments... this is just a "talk" or they get really paid?? were the old eswc wcg money etc paid to the winners?

Just wondering...


Which tournament generally had teams mix up and make teams like "Team A, Team B, Team C, Team D"? I think last time it was the EG boys frod and n0thing with 3 asian players... The poles were with the Swedish... The danes with some other players.

Those kinds of matches I found very interesting :P. I wish they'd make a W.Europe vs E.Europe matchup O.O.

in e-stars, generally isnt it like 4 from europe vs 4 from asia/america?? or am i confusing it with some other tournament?? :/
2011-03-22 05:37:59
No. It was 3v3.

3 From West and 3 From Asia. :(

It should be

Americas/Asia/Europe instead with Top three of each.
2011-03-22 05:52:06
nah got it.. 4 from europe vs 4 from asia happens in WEM..
2011-03-22 06:03:46

"Contacted by HLTV.org, e-Stars Seoul organiser Can Yang stated that the selection process for the teams has not yet been defined."

I just realized he's the Manager of RedCode / ex-WeMadeFOX lol.

Instead of West/EAST he should have:

Americas:
Europe:
Asia:

just my 2 cents :)

Man I miss those events where they would last almost a week. They are practically giving away prize money to those 8 teams by default. Make it a 32 team event, that would be fun. :D

Sadly, not many teams could afford travel expenses to Korea. Even I doubt that 16 teams would attend the event. That's if e-stars was the case.
2011-03-23 09:47:14
They need at least one american team, EG.

Too bad coL can't go cause of stupid source. redCode is poor now so they won't be able to attend like any events lol. Tyloo with VISA problems like always.

So it will probably be EG (and they will lose in group stage AGAIN) and Moddii's team that joins :-/.
2011-03-22 19:17:05
It'll be held in Korea, both tyLoo and redCode would attend the event without problem.
