SK, Lions, fnatic, mTw to ESWC
By: Nix0n
Time: 2011-09-23 00:27
Event: ESWC 2011 online qualifier
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

SK Gaming came out on top in the ESWC 2011 online qualifier following a 16-5 victory against Lions on de_mirage.

The qualifier which lasted for three days ended with one Danish and three Swedish teams qualifying for ESWC 2011. SK Gaming secured a spot and accommodation for ESWC 2011 after winning the upper-bracket final 16-13 against Lions on de_dust2.

Danish team mTw made the final four following a win against ESC Gaming, but later fell against fnatic, who downed the Danes 16-4 on de_train. Fourth place secured mTw a spot for ESWC 2011. Lions continued their solid play, defeating fnatic in the consolidation final 16-11 on de_dust2.

This meant that the spots and accommodation had been distributed, but the qualifier final would still be played to determine whether it would be SK or Lions getting a higher seed at ESWC 2011. SK won it fairly easily with a 16-5 score line on de_mirage.

ESWC 2011 online qualifier standings

1. SK Gaming - ESWC spot and accommodation
2. Lions - ESWC spot and accommodation
3. fnatic - ESWC spot
4. mTw - ESWC spot

Following teams have also qualified:

Natus Vincere - Defending champions
Virus Gaming - Winner of the French qualifier
3DMAX - Runner-up of the French qualifier
defs - Winner of the Portuguese qualifier
viva algerie - Winner of the Algerian qualifier

One spot will go to the winning team of the Polish qualifier, while one team will qualify from La Reunion. A total of eight teams will be invited, making up for the total amount of 20 teams (currently one slot still pending) that are going to participate in this year's Electronic Sports World Cup.

Three Sweden teams, nice.. Let's hope for Na'Vi vs. mTw finals :P
2011-09-23 00:29:01
no way :D, some swedish team in final must be !!! :)
2011-09-23 00:30:37
Ah, and I forgot about FX... SK/mTw/FX/Na'Vi/ <- some of them 1st place.
2011-09-23 00:31:44
no way, mtw vs navi have given us the best finals ever.
2011-09-23 08:42:39
I'm of a totally another opinion. I like finals where you don't know the winner before the match started
2011-09-23 10:33:54
hahaha
2011-09-23 10:36:28
i just loved the fx vs fnatic matches... it was always so close... and imo the best match ever wcg 2009 in China :)
2011-09-23 10:50:59
true dat
2011-09-23 14:23:41
true :) i love it also :D fnatic and FX were both very strong teams then :D
2011-09-23 15:14:32
SK vs Fx has always played good and close games too, defenitly my favorite matchup!

2 quals in 1 day wow stupid move by organizators
2011-09-23 00:52:10
Yeah, totally agree. It was like "My tournament is better" stuff...
The best teams chose WCG.
2011-09-23 15:15:57
so french teams have no chance :D
2011-09-23 10:43:34
eS will be invited by the organizers most likely.
2011-09-23 11:01:47
Virus line up at ESWC.fr was Mat, mSx, lodun, R!Go and YiiKon, not that bad is it?

Probably some teams were playing just for free accommodation in this online qualifier, not for spot.

If someone knows more invited teams, please reply :p
