Titan, Epsilon disqualified from DHW
Titan and Epsilon have been disqualified from DreamHack Winter following the VAC bans handed to Hovik "KQLY" Tovmassian and Gordon "Sf" Giry, the event’s organisers have confirmed.
Questions about Titan’s and Epsilon’s places at the Swedish major were immediately raised after Hovik "KQLY" Tovmassian and Gordon "Sf" Giry were caught in Valve’s web as the latest wave of VAC bans struck the CS:GO scene today.
To replace the two French teams, a LAN qualifier will take place on Saturday at Inferno Online Stockholm with four Europeans teams in attendance, all of whom will be flown by Valve itself.
Titan disqualified from DH Winter
DreamHack is currently reaching out to teams potentially interested in attending this qualifier, and the participants' list will be revealed shortly. The tournament will use a single-elimination format, with every match being played in a best-of-three mode.
Despite two teams being removed, the group draw will not be repeated. However, there have been some changes in the seeding distribution in Groups B and D, which now looks as follows:
- Group B: dignitas get the top seed and will face PENTA Sports in the first round, while iBUYPOWER will take on a team from the LAN qualifier;
- Group D: Na`Vi will take on a team from the LAN qualifier in the opening round, while Virtus.pro and myXMG will still face each other.

let's hope so :/ they neeeeeeed to get their
who cares about visas and stuff, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CS:GO WE NEED THEM
I don't think they would need visas to visit Sweden.
That being said they wouldn't even be here in time for the qualifier or be completely destroyed by the jetlag.
yep, ur completely right on all u said.
Well they can disguise themselfs as immigrants from the middle east and our government would welcome them with open arms :))
They won't go. Topgun is getting married the week of DreamHack

Expected, I'm happy the DHW crew have the balls to actually go through with the decision.
I do agree that this was the most logical option to take, it will be interesting to see what teams Valve will fly in for replacement.

I hope m0e gets vacced.
I wonder what are those 4?
Mouz, 3dmax, CW, ?
It was my friend who took my disquise and harrassed the girls. I am innocent for real.
I have never harrassed anyone, it was just my friend, my friend.
Chrisj told in facebook that team invited were f3, cw, 3dmax and lc.
Yeah he was bit angry that mouz was thought as lower seed than 3dmax and lc.
IMO mouz is stronger than f3 and 3dmax atleast.

'Since this is very last minute, Valve will help fund the travel and accommodation expenses for the attending qualifier teams. Four top European teams will be invited to play for entry into the tournament.'
ffs.
Shittiest major yet inc
No lol the quality of the teams attending are the worst yet
I feel sorry for GMX, he is ready waiting on the hotel to go to sweden :(
Thats sad..
The teammates are really pissed, i bet they are about to punch these idiots in their faces!
"all of them being flown by Valve itself."
Nice. Hopefully some teams from Madagascar or Taiwan. One South African team isnt enough. We need more. From all over the world.
K1CK top 16 atm, they qualified for ESL Pro League!
- Mouspaz
- CPHW
- mouz
- Titan with ScreaM instead
Sad night for french CS :(
"Almost nobody thought Sf could be a cheater" that's you're own sience... He is now VAC banned along with KQLY and smn so they did cheat now that's outta the way you can't say byali and device play bad at LANS perhaps some of the dumbest shit i ever heard, device plays good at LANS, and what about byali you dident deepen you're aissumpton, give prove or invalid comment
So there will be no more bans then. Four teams qualifying for two spots or what? If Valve announced this and is paying for this they must know no more teams will end up disqualified. Does this mean the end of the VACening?
Doesn't have to be the end. Just that on the French teams there where other issues. They don't have enough original members to be allowed to play in DHW.
Could be other Vac Banned players coming up. Just not more than two from qualified teams
Look at this :D
kioshima transfer all of hims items from the fear of VACation ;D

That's just sad. Scream, GMX, Uzzzi, fxy0, KennyS, apeX, we're gonna miss all of these players just because one of their teammates decided they wanted to hack? That's disappointing from Valve to say the least. The only teams I would say are worthy of replacing them are mousesports and copenhagen wolves, and even then, Dreamhack is going to be terrible because mouz suck on LAN and CPH can't compete with top tier teams.
I highly doubt it that every top team is going to have a hacker on it.
But anyway, the legit Epsilon/Titan players don't deserve this to be taken away from them. Instead, they'll just bring in some random european teams that will just be eliminated in the group stages by VP, Dig, IBP, and Na'Vi
Also this alone expresses my point: puu.sh/cZ7Np/8e1917565b.png. Scream, GMX, KennyS, apeX, all of these top players give it their all for their team and then get replaced by crappy T2 European teams. This major is going to be the weakest one yet.
All mixed feelings about this. It's terrible for the legit guys, not able to play DHW.
But I fully understand this move by Valve. You just can't let this happen over and over again. ".. oh well, just bring someone else".
If you want to be serious about esport you have to make moves like this. Make it clear that no cheaters are allowed what so ever. Risking your spot, and bring damage (in worst case) to your team-branding.
CPH can't compete with top tier teams.
We have seen them once on LAN with 1½ week of playtime together - if it was even that much. Since then they have only played mouz, dAT, the qualifier yesterday and a danish qualifier for a local tournament.
Lets see what they can do, if they get the chance, before we really judge them. Epsilon had become a tier 3 mixteam who stayed together because of the sticker money for DHW, better to be replaced by two tier 2 teams, in theory.
And no, it is not freaking sad for the Titan players, they of all people should have known that he was cheating. Of course they may have been blind to it, but the possiblity of that is very slim when they play together from their gaming house.
Gj dreamhack
RIP IN PEPPERONIZ AND GET REKT BY SHREK AND FIONA
To be fair, I dont think Titan or epsilon would have done anything anyways
bye bye frencies hahhaha
Bloody frenchies

damn, this shit is huge
also, mouz
CELEBRATIONNNNN

well, if there are more VAC bans coming, the 4 teams dont need to play the qualifier
Pretty sure this is confirmation
It says on the dreamhack page that they have been confirmed by valve.
MOUSESPORTS TO MAJOR????
HOLY SHIT
Epsilon needed
SF GMX and FXYO

without them they do not qualify.
Kio Scammed :/

you need fast removals, call kio
"Four top European teams will be invited to play for entry into the tournament."
What top EU teams left are there though? You can't just call them a top-team just because they're European. Valve should be in charge of allocating these extra slots because this is DH are clearly biased as hell.
feel bad for scream
LDLC next wait for it Rip KIO its gonna happen

Good to see that Valve is gonna shell out for the travel expense. Anyone word on who is gonna cast the qualifier?

i hope they all get ban this week (there are a lot more) and make dreamhack a fiasco, we(community) need this mess to turn for a good path
Kioshima just cleared his inventory today, i guess hes expecting a ban.
steamcommunity.com/profiles/765611980007..
His twitter was hacked.
He traded his inventory to be safe
(According to him could be a lie)
we want moooooooaaaaaaaar :D
he will be next...probably...
Peace Frenchies Hopefully they replace you with CHina and India or a country that deserves to be there
GabeN did finally something good...
1 week before DHW
no money 4 cheaters...
GJ volvo... finally...
mad cuz lost skinz? oh wait...you actually are.
A good thing is that it'll probably teach a lesson to pro players who thought about cheating or are already cheating.
But unfortunately it also means that we'll have two unprepared teams at the event to replace these, and that's not a good thing at all.
Not a big deal concerning Epsilon who didn't have a big chance to make a good run, but Titan not attending is a big loss. Let's hope bootcamp will be enough for these two replacements.
That is what has become of CS, a mockery to it's predecessor... Blatant cheaters and rage aimbotters in literally every matchmaking game, "pro" players getting busted once a month for cheating, match fixing, ddos and the list goes on.
I regret the day I started playing CS:GO, should have quit long time ago. This community is worse than the DotA2, atleast people over there are plain stupid, unlike cs:go where 90% of the players are literally braindead or/and cheating.
Goodbye and good riddance.
a mockery to it's predecessor... Blatant cheaters and rage aimbotters in literally every matchmaking game
Yeah I'm pretty sure there were no cheaters in 1.6 matchmaking lmao
If only this was 2 weeks earlier. We would of gone to DHW.
GL to those attending.
RON PAUL FORESAW THIS
WHY DIDN'T WE LISTEN?
I hope Valve finds them all and destroys them. Scrubs can't do it on LAN so they cheat!
actually they did probably (cheat) on lan too :P
been waiting for this.
gg
i hope mouz will attend this qualifier <3
get rekt fgts
feel bad for ex6 and screamy
it's gonna be much better, we can finally have some new players instead of these lowlifes
I wonder how much beating KQLY took from them
LONDONC
Hope titan and epsilon get a spot in the lan qualifiers
interesting so far
Im sure you know this but they could go with anyone, since it's still 4 left from original qualified group. Maybe they wouldnt even take a stand in as they are used to play 4v5 =)
OMFG
Hope valve catches every goddamn one of those pathetic losers. Prefer before DHW, who can be trusted now, when one after one pro is getting vacced?
great, fuck the cheaters!!!
Lesson to the Teams/players/managers to never ever use cheat anymore.
AHAHAHAHAHA

Kioshima has already taken all items from his inventory so he doesn't lose them skinz when he gets banned.

Choosing bad friends in life sadly has consequences. CS is a team sport. Just like in any other profession, your colleagues' actions will affect you directly.
Half of the current Titan and Epsilon players don't really deserve to be at DHW in any way, as they'd be freeloading on earlier players' and cheaters' achievements.
Now we found why NiP was not succeeding anymore.
"Titan was one of the hardest team to call."
"Titan aggressive"
