By: Nix0n
Time: 2012-10-25 15:22
Game: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

DreamHack has announced more info regarding the $45,000 CS:GO tournament taking place at the winter edition of the Swedish event, naming six invited teams and announcing qualifiers.

Sixteen teams will take part in the tournament running November 22-24 in Jönköping, Sweden. Ninja in Pyjamas and fnatic qualified by winning DreamHack Valencia and Bucharest respectively. The organizers now release the names of six invites teams, making the participants list look as follows:

NiP fnatic ESC Gaming mousesports
WinFakt Team TargetDown VeryGames Team Dynamic

Another two teams will be invited at a later stage, making it a total of eight invited teams. Regarding the invite process Tomas Hermansson from DreamHack stated:

"In a new game like CS:GO we're obviously not inviting teams based on previous results and achievements. This is a totally new competitive scene and we’re looking for established organisations and find a good mix of countries, skill and competition. The last two invited teams will probably be non-European both of them" 

Regarding qualifiers, there will be three of them, one of which will take place here on HLTV.org. One qualifier will be hosted by Fragbite.se and restricted to Swedish teams only. One slot for DreamHack Winter will be up for grabs. A qualifier restricted to Danish teams will be hosted by Gaming.dk and will also have one slot for DreamHack Winter.

Our qualifier will have two slots and will not have any country restrictions. More info about our as well as the other qualifiers will be announced soon. 

More info surrounding the tournament has also been announced, such as the casting lineup on site in Jönköping. The casting team will consist of:

Corey "ConsiderIt_dunN" Dunn
Paul "ReDeYe" Chaloner
Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen
Patrik "cArn" Sättermon (Extra)

Corey "ConsiderIt_dunN" Dunn
Paul "ReDeYe" Chaloner
Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen
Patrik "cArn" Sättermon (Extra)

2012-10-27 12:26:38
right, not 1.6, full random bullets now
2012-10-25 17:50:32
haha, right =)
2012-10-25 21:23:53
So if the game is random that means they have 50-50 chance to qualify, good for them right?
But i have this feeling that they are going to be incredible unlucky, losing to every team 16-0.
2012-10-26 14:20:50
What if... you just suck at the game?
2012-10-26 21:47:56
What if I'm not so dumb and buy a beer for $15 instead of that CoDlike crap that not worth that price
2012-10-27 00:03:04
I cant really see the "codish" in csgo. What if you buy both a beer and the game?
2012-10-27 04:11:06
he will get drunk and the game might seem decent
2012-10-27 12:28:18

HOOLYYYYY that looks amazing teams and casters :))

Also should invite 1 more team from usa imo. And are the uk team still in mouz?

Area 51 or team curse(hm1)

2012-10-25 17:27:24
This is going to be so sick! Awesome teams, awesome casters and awesome price money! Damn CS:GO is going freakin strong!
2012-10-25 15:34:23
not even in the top 10 of steam
2012-10-25 17:39:24
/care, thats not important. CS:GO is new and in some time it will be alot bigger then 1.6. There was no marketing done for CS:GO so thats why it didnt have a Cod start. But it will eventually grow.
2012-10-25 21:46:30
yeah, 1.6 has all the marketing in the world to have 50k players playing it constantly. Starcraft 2 as well, lots of marketing.

league of legends also has tv commencials every 10 minutes, thats why they have like 3million players.

Keep dreaming boy. If it's good, it should've been big since the start. Before that 'some time' has taken place, there will already be a new better FPS game ready to replace CSGO.
2012-10-26 07:34:39
they should have add wisecunt in the casting list

2012-10-25 15:51:13
Nice teams, fnatic strong, but nobody cans stop nip right now:(
2012-10-25 15:51:51
By dreamhack winter alot more teams will have also practised alot, people will be closser to NIP,but I do think they will still win/
2012-10-25 15:53:51
UK mousesports? You're joking right?
2012-10-25 15:54:16
Mousesport have got an UK team in source for several years. The same team that now play CS:GO for them.

but now mouz also has a german team which qualified for ESWC...
2012-10-25 16:21:51
Thing is that team can do alot of damage if they practise , but they never practise hard as others that is their downfall.

Well if they don't practise, they don't deserve it, period.
2012-10-25 16:22:42
if they couldn't win against VeryGames in Source, they must be terrible, the 1.6 teams will wipe the floor with them.
2012-10-25 17:41:25
But they won the biggest and last LAN in cssource which verygames only placed liker 8th.


Verygames are just not as strong anymore as they used to be anyway .. neeed shoxie.

you hurt my feelings :( - v nasty man



2012-10-25 17:02:09
So you're one of the UK mouz I presume?
You should step down before you embarrass yourself, at least mouz.de have a chance to place at the top.
2012-10-25 17:36:03
lol, I can't wait to laugh when mouz.uk (who couldn't even qualify for ESWC) get their butts raped at DHW.
2012-10-25 17:43:49
lol, i won probably the two biggest CSS tournaments ever in CGS and CPH Games when I practiced so I daresay I'll cope! If we do well at DH great, and if we don't at least I can bring some happiness to your dull existence. I think either way I'm the winner here, I get to attend dreamhack (which I've never done) whilst your sat at home watching.

Wunderbar :D X
2012-10-25 18:00:18
Wait what? Sauce had tournaments?

Anyways, I hope mouz.org will swap you with mouz.de, that'll only be fair.

2012-10-26 13:52:44
The CGS with no serious competence? I mean, no one took seriously the CGS, not even the few 1.6 pros that made the switch. Are you really proud of winning a tournament of a new game that had literally 0 competence? I know the money was good but... you did nothing playing 1.6 or against 1.6 pros, why would you be so proud about something eSports don't take seriously?

I doubt you will do well against the 1.6 pro teams/players, they had much more competence through the years, it is not Source where you only had to deal with 2-3 teams with sponsors.

Let's see if you enlighten my days by getting at least top 8, champ.
2012-10-25 18:09:54
Yes you are right.

The players were bad and not 1.6'ers:

nickn0it
Volcano
zet
rambo
Warmach1ne
paradox

...... etc
2012-10-25 18:41:08
nice list you got there, how many of those players are 1.6 tournament winners? oh yeah, only 3 of them (zet, Volcano and Rambo).

Not to mention that Rambo and Volcano weren't winning anything after 2005 when coL was founded (and won everything in the USA) and zet who was a beast at the time lost his 1.6 skill due to CSS.

And if you read again what I wrote you will notice that I didn't say none 1.6 pros weren't playing Source, I said they weren't taking it seriously, the 1.6 top teams from that time didn't include americans FYI :)

I would get angry too trying to reason with a troll/idiot. I bet you have never played source in your life or watched it but yet you seem to know everything about it :)
2012-10-26 14:26:29
"When i practiced" oh just shutup, u only talk about those two tournaments u won BIG DEAL, u got asswhooped by some mixteam(?) for ESWC quals that are now a team and ull get assraped on DreamHack too its just matter of time when mousesports will kick u from their team because you are no longer needed there since they have a better squad now, and to finnish my speech take some protection with you we dont wanna see you getting pregnant.

how can you be more suprised that mousesports uk get invited when fnatic havnt even installed cs:go yet?

Fnatic doesnt deserve invite period.

Fnatic didnt get an invite they are there because they won dh bucharest

VG wins more than likely

Last time NIP won over VG.
2012-10-25 16:16:02
VG had played less than 2 weeks when NIP had played months.
There is no possibility for nip to get single round against VG now.
2012-10-25 16:25:42
what an troll, you know VG is not the only team who practice for this tourney.
2012-10-25 16:34:32
Nope, but they are the strongest team who practice for this tourney.
2012-10-25 16:43:51
no they are not, that's NiP.
2012-10-25 16:48:17
3 of NIP are former 1.6 players, they dont have enough skill to compete at this level in GO, source players have tremendous advantage obiviously.
2012-10-25 16:59:00
do not try to start fights around here bro... cause u'll get it :)
2012-10-25 17:11:52
well I'd like to see CSS players winning this tournament and I somewhat defend the CSS players even though I'm a former 1.6er, U just cannot say that 1.6 players dont have enough skill to compete. That's just pure bullshit.
2012-10-25 17:31:43
That's true.
2012-10-25 18:40:51
haha u are stupid mate
2012-10-25 19:20:30
NiP > VG anyday anytime
2012-10-25 16:42:49
IF VG are afking the whole match im sure NIP has change.
2012-10-25 16:44:11
next time..




write in english, thanks.
2012-10-25 17:32:18
I wouldn't say that.

However i do think VG have a very strong chance of winning it but so do NiP.
2012-10-25 16:22:37
SK Gaming > mouz.uk 2-0
NiP > VeryGames 2-0

LOL, 1.6 teams >> Source teams in GO atm.
2012-10-25 18:12:23
CS;GO is the future , this game has it all. CS 1.6 is dead none of those players matter anymore, CSS players are and have always been more mature and better as gamers.

Nip won verygames when they had barely played the game, when they had played months together. Its CS:GO skill that may provide NIP a victory in DH winter, but CS 1.6 Skills doesnt matter nor do tetris skills. CS:GO is a newgame where former CSS players have currently large advantage over dinosaurtime gamers. Sad but true
2012-10-25 21:34:15
lmao, thats why ex 1.6 players are winning the tournaments

bad troll is bad.

NICE
2012-10-25 16:24:36
"In a new game like CS:GO we're obviously not inviting teams based on previous results and achievements."

And yet they invite the UK mouz instead of the Germans? And what is fnatic doing there, they have not played a single GO match yet, wtf.
2012-10-25 16:27:35
Have you ever read this article?
fnatic won the DH Bucharest
2012-10-25 16:38:04
I missed that part. This still does not explain why the UK mouz and ESC has been invited, seeing how there are other CS:GO teams that has showed strong results recently.
2012-10-25 16:41:48
I agree with you. They should show themselves on qualifiers. Anyway, most of us want to see some old famous teams play DH. That's the money point of view for tournments.
2012-10-25 16:48:33
"This is a totally new competitive scene and we’re looking for established organisations and find a good mix of countries"

That is why... Read with understanding please.
2012-10-25 17:04:11
Neither ESC or mouz.uk has shown any results in CS:GO so far, yet they get invited over teams that has?

How would inviting a german team that actually has shown strong results in csgo make for less of a mixture as opposed to inviting a polish one? Or what about inviting FM.toxic that won the UK ESWC qualifier?
2012-10-25 19:32:46
Hopefully there will be AC for the qualifier on HLTV.
2012-10-25 16:27:56

question is how come fnatic and esc gets invite? they havnt shown anything in go.
I rather see like mousesports germany and coldgame get invited.
2012-10-25 16:28:12
Indeed wtf is fnatic doing there? They play 1.6 all the time and just started with GO. They dont deserve to play it. There must be alot of teams that are better.
2012-10-25 16:30:07
yeah i can name like 6 teams that is for sure better then fnatic atm. copenhagen wolves, fm toxic, mousesports germany, coldgame, 3dmax and highrollers. probably is more teams that i forgot now.
2012-10-25 16:33:35

Why can't you read the article? fnatic won DH Bucharest and that's why they got a spot.

thats pretty big numbers
2012-10-25 17:21:21
Did you read what I've just written?
2012-10-25 17:32:12
well though ESC might not yet be at the level of Drunken Globus or other top teams around the world.. 16-6 are not that big numbers, It could've been 16-12 with just 3 round wins(like 1on1, which cannot be seen on an end result) that force an eco. on bo1 the tight situation clutches make a huge difference.

really nice team list, however kinda sucks a lot of the top end teams in CS:GO currently aren't on the list, should have made it 16teams tournament :(

2012-10-25 16:51:07
what means (Extra) after cArn`s name?
2012-10-25 16:51:40
I think this means he will not stream every match, he will join from time to time, maybe only fnatic matches.
2012-10-25 17:26:53
Extra would mean that he's a stand-in, if one of the other casters can't make it ;)
2012-10-25 17:30:30

No. He will play for them at china.
2012-10-25 16:55:35
VeryGames and mousesports will be top2, top ex-source players are just too good for any top ex-1.6 players

cs:go simple requires so much more skill than easy cs 1.6 did that former cs 1.6 can't handle it

Post edited 2012-10-25 17:03:08
2012-10-25 17:01:35
are you out of your mind? 1.6 was a lot more skillbased than source ever was. cs:go however requires a completely different skillset. same goes for cs:s for the most part. this is nonsense, I'm defending the source players and want them to win DH Winter but rly.. who the fuck thinks like that?

*Getting annoyed by cadred.org joining hltv.org or something like that..*
2012-10-25 17:41:12
LOL, thats why SK-Gaming and NiP wiped the floor with mouz.uk and VeryGames playing CSGO.

face it, the competence and profesionalism of the 1.6 teams is 10 times bigger than the one of the Source teams.

stay in cadred posting excuses about why the 1.6 teams are winning the tournaments please.

Pretty awkward statement considering they invite mousesports.uk and ESC...
2012-10-25 17:28:18
fail argument since ESC has the best player in the world of 1.6 and has everything to be the best on cs:go
2012-10-25 17:34:09
"In a new game like CS:GO we're obviously not inviting teams based on previous results and achievements."

Did you even read the statement?
2012-10-25 18:39:42
so?
they invited the most famous organizations from different countries.
2012-10-25 19:08:53
O rly? Did I state something else ? XD
2012-10-25 20:16:04
why? ESC lose only one match and didnt deserve? LOL
2012-10-25 17:56:41
actually the EPS is a league like CAL, doesn't matter if you lose a match, you only need to qualify for the playoffs and win your way to the finals.

ESC was like unbeatable for years, thats why people talk about them losing a match. The result of that match however is very meaningless to determine who wins EPS Poland.

Why invide mouz.uk instead of FM.Toxic who are obviously the best GO team from the uk right now? Mouz.uk couldn't even qualify to ESWC and they get an invite for this? LOL.

if you need to invite a mouz lineup then invite mouz.de.

2012-10-25 17:48:05
4Not is the best GO team from the USA, they should be invited.
2012-10-25 17:50:19
Area51 should be consisted as #1 in North America, since they have won ESWC NA qualifier and ended up 2nd in ESEA regular season.

2012-10-25 18:09:38
I don't like duNn as a caster, he's very ignorant to CS' competitive gameplay. He doesn't know a thing about rotations, assists or things like that, he barely recognizes kills.

no, cArn will play instead karrigan :)
2012-10-25 19:26:07
Sounds wicked, they invited the competent organisations and now giving out spots with qualifiers, good way to do it!

also Can someone help me by telling me who rahim is...

2012-10-25 18:41:17
Greatfrag.com caster, a funny guy and IMHO a much better caster than duNn.
2012-10-25 18:58:48
gotta be joking? there is hardly any caster in the world who's not better than rahim, certainly corey can manage. he does lack his old enthousiasm it seems though. back in 2k4 he was THE caster
2012-10-25 19:18:38
I find corey do be extremely boring and clueless these days, even though Rahim is not profesional (neither tries to be) he's much more entertaining than duNn and I'd probably choose his stream over dunn's.

duNn is outdated, this is not 2002 where CS was all about shooting styles and controlling your recoil. You need much more than that now, so in lack of commentators with good understanding of the game I'm chosing Rahim, 9 times out of 10.

Good shit we got lurppis and cArn this time though.

Post edited 2012-10-25 19:45:31
2012-10-25 19:41:59
I agree corey has lost his edge, but I get so annoyed with rahim I turn it off after 10 minutes usually, so I really cant think of commentators who are not better than rahim for me. even dunn on slowmotion mode :P
2012-10-26 09:05:56
could do without carn's swenglish
2012-10-25 18:41:46
WHAT! cArn's english is pretty good, also hes a much better caster than duNn, who doesn't know CS at an advanced level.
2012-10-25 19:15:14
nice try cArn
2012-10-26 15:28:02
lol
2012-10-26 16:55:40
You have to be kidding me ...
2012-10-26 15:54:39
dude duNn bores me, I think your little child's voice is much more entertaining than his babling about kills. CS is not only about kills, there is another big aspect about it: TACTICS and DuNn doesn't give it enough room in his casting.
2012-10-26 16:57:22

"In a new game like CS:GO we're obviously not inviting teams based on previous results and achievements.

Wonder why they invited ESC instead of Drunken Globus for example.

edit : and to all crazy polish people out there, ofc i wanna see ESC there, but they havent done anything in CS:GO to deserve this invite slot.
