iBP attend G3, bootcamp in Europe

9/7/2014 - 21:08

iBUYPOWER have confirmed they will be attending Gfinity 3 in London on August 2-3 and bootcamping in Europe until ESL One Cologne on August 14-17.

Following two major attendances with iBUYPOWER crashing out in the group stage, the team will this time around spend nearly two weeks bootcamping in Europe before ESL One Cologne.

iBP are fresh off their second consecutive ESEA championship, having bested OverGaming, Virtus.pro and compLexity, twice, en route to winning the $20,000 first place prize.

iBUYPOWER will spend two weeks in Europe in early August

Sam "DaZeD" Marine's squad will go head-to-head with the world's best teams, including NiP, fnatic, Titan and Virtus.pro, first in London, followed up by ESL One Cologne two weeks later.

The team still has to qualify for ESL One, but with compLexity already possessing a spot, it should be a mere formality. iBUYPOWER will be represented by:

Keven "AZK" Lariviere
Sam "DaZeD" Marine
Tyler "Skadoodle" Latham
Joshua "steel" Nissan
Braxton "swag" Pierce

Contacted by HLTV.org, iBUYPOWER's manager and former Counter-Strike player Derrick "impulsivE" Truong said the following:

"We're extremely pumped to be able to travel to Europe again. We're first headed to London for G3, and then moving over to Germany for an extensive bootcamp," Derrick "impulsivE" Truong told HLTV.org.

"Hopefully we can top the North American qualifier for ESL One Cologne next week, and then attend the next major fully prepared after our bootcamp."

Gfinity 3 will take place on August 2-3 at the Olympic Park in London, while ESL One Cologne will be held at GamesCom on August 14-17. HLTV.org will be present at both events.

I don't know who you are, and if "I" you mean G3 that's good but it doesn't change the fact the ESL One does.

Calm down, Im just putting it In context so People understand why I can answer and what role I have . I'm trying to answer all the questions regarding the event. I dont need to, but I think its kinda polite and humble to be there for the community instead of not giving a shit :) Isn't better to answer the questions and take feedback so we can improve or imply feedback into actions.

2014-07-10 13:57

Calm down, why u heff to be mad, is only game? I'm just fking with ya, gj with g3

2014-07-13 20:47

inb4 couldn't perform, jetlag

2014-07-09 21:13

5 replies

jetlag has never been an excuse what are you implying it to atm? you wanna say euros failed at esea lan because of jetlag?

2014-07-09 21:58

no, i'm saying ibp will fail at euro events

2014-07-09 22:05

their main preference is that nobody knows from euros what to expect from ibp or na teams in general... euro teams have hard time playing col and ibp as they dont know any strats what americans have while americans know euros pretty well because of all these online leagues and small tournaments which are going on all the time. imo thats the reason why americans won esea and not some jetlag or euros hiding strats or euros not playing seriously ..

2014-07-09 22:10

I guess the bootcamp could actually help the eu teams? I mean practice against ibp will do good for the other teams, they'll get to know them better.

2014-07-09 23:03

u know they can practice with new accoutns and noone will know they are playing ibp..?

2014-07-18 04:57

Germany - worst internet connection

yyyy not.

2014-07-09 21:32

really nice news for the community! love seeing this

nice to hear :p they can pracc with europe teams now :D

2014-07-09 21:16

2014-07-09 21:20

2014-07-09 21:41

Whole new team now tho

2014-07-09 21:42

2014-07-09 21:55

*insert Kappa face here*

2014-07-09 21:29

sick !

inb4 iBP gets random'd out in the ESL qualifiers next week. -.-

2014-07-09 21:31

I'd laugh so hard

2014-07-09 21:50

GL. You're gonna need it.

2014-07-09 21:36

hardly.

2014-07-10 04:41

Swag's parents allowed travel to EU ? If i know thah was reason whe he left coL.So WTF ?

2014-07-09 21:39

That was just a rumor and a false one. He left for other reasons.

2014-07-09 21:40

haha lol, ppl actually belives stuff like this.

2014-07-09 21:49

iBP stronk!

2014-07-09 21:45

they have no reason to do this but i'd love to see -steel +n0thing if this happens i'm fully commited to IBP but now im just gonna cheer for coL instead..

2014-07-09 21:53

To be fair if they replaced someone (they really do not need to) with n0thing it should be AZK. Steel is pretty valuable as the tactical side of the game goes.

iknow that nobody on ibp is underperforming to be cut from roster, but i just hate steel cuz hes a big douchebag. I cant cheer for ibp aslong as steel is on the playerslist. besides n0thing is just the funniest and most entertaining streamer out there atm...

This remembers me of mibr... they used to bootcamp in Europe (Sweden - Inferno Online) three times per year, great times. It's good to see the Americans back to the game.

2014-07-09 21:56

+1 Hope they perform this time.

2014-07-09 21:57

agreed :)

gl hope they won't fail

2014-07-09 22:23

hope for the americans to win a major

2014-07-09 22:33

iBP 16-13 NiP @ de_cobblestone iBP 16-5 NiP @ de_overpass

2014-07-09 22:37

I hope swag come later to match, like Snax and they sleep only 4 hour, before important matches.

2014-07-09 22:56

Still a little salty huh lol

2014-07-09 23:22

Well they have only themselves to blame for it, isnt that right my little communist friend?

2014-07-09 23:27

Rofl

2014-07-09 23:28

Kind of unfair to say that was entirely their fault, given Snax's initial reasons for showing up later.

2014-07-10 03:18

stay salty, yuropoor lmao

2014-07-09 23:50

ibp will win both tournaments

2014-07-09 23:30

In before they fail at both events

2014-07-09 23:44

Hiko dick rider typical comment

2014-07-10 04:31

I just don't believe in the iBP hype I would want nothing more than to be proven wrong but currently they only won events in NA

2014-07-10 07:24

You have to give them the benefit of the doubt though, they've changed two players who have had a massive impact on the teams performance. Swag and Steel have been amazing pick ups for the team.

2014-07-10 18:06

Good they need all the practice against the euros when it matters most, gl boys :D

2014-07-10 01:11

cool, gl

2014-07-10 07:48

good news, now they will be fully prepared and will see how they compare to EU scene.

2014-07-10 08:27

Can't wait till they get smashed.

2014-07-10 13:31

Stay salty yuropoor.

2014-07-13 00:53

don't overdose on sugar, fatty

2014-07-14 10:04

Bow down to your overlords, 3rdie.

2014-07-15 00:14

I can image your greasy hands typing that. Why are you spending so much time here? Is your local MacDonald's closed? I'd buy you a GYM membership but you'd prolly eat it.

2014-07-15 14:28

Oh the fat jokes, sooo original. I'd fuck you up if you ever come to NYC, i'd probably even buy you a plane ticket but you'd probably sell it, since you and your family could live for a year with that money in Poorgaria.

2014-07-15 17:20

You're gonna fuck me up? :))))))))))))))) You couldn't fuck up a stuffed teddy bear. Should really lay off the donuts at least 'cause all of that junk food is getting in your brain and making you agressive.
