UK>Estonia maybe but synck>4k ..i think.
gL all, go France (i hope emL)
There is a difference between being narrow minded and being sensible. Teams from the likes of Kazakhstan attend at the expense of teams like NiP, SK, EYE and Dignitas etc. The list goes on. Competitive eSports needs strong participation and stability.
The majority of the countries your referring to, barely have a internet infrastructure to grow talent. It's the same reason why gamers from the UK and Spain (despite the countries being fairly rich) struggle against the best. Although this isn't the only "variable" in growing talented players.
I'm not saying exclude them, if they are good enough they will still qualify and win. The system needs to change though to promote and actually be worthwhile to gaming. I would rather see four Swedish teams in the CS competition and however many Koreans/Chinese in the Warcraft III. It gives an accurate picture of competitive gaming and you have the best possible competition to promote to a mainstream audience.
You only have to look at athletics to see that the system of "survival of the fittest" is the best. Despite African countries being among the poorest and worst equipped, they supply year in year out some of the best middle and long distance runners in the world.
that is the reason why they put only one team from each country to the final tournament.... dont you get it?
u got the point I hope
There's 2 possibilities in a year to respresent their flags and their lvl. ESWC, and WCG, 2 big events where you need to be the best team of your country (at a moment for some countries, on average of the year for others)
Let them play 2 international events. LoL
In soccer european cup is more dificult than world cup, that's maybe the same. But at the end you have 4-8 best team.
(sry for my poor english)
1.sYnck 16-0 The Rest
2.PGS/FNATIC
3.USA
Fnatic
PGS
Roccat/NoA/MYM
Group A looks interesting. I think KPOBb or Virtus.Russia, which is the actual name of the team for WCG has a very good chance at upseting PGS. They had an excellent WCG qualifier in Russia and as groove said, they'll be practicing for WCG really hard. So they have a decent shot at taking down PGS. EG is a good, ol' team, but they'd have to pull out a miracle to advance to the next stage.
Group G's the obvious group of death. But fnatic and g3x have pretty good chances at advancing.
In Group H, i'd watch out for Denmark and Kazakhstan. They are capable of doing some pretty seriouus damange.
