Its seems the first qualifier is moved to 14th of December. With teams like fzer0 (erhm and others :D!) participating.
GOOD LUCK BRISBANE! Hopefully we will see new faces/teams surprising!
Will be nice seeing Immunity again!

Netherlands - WZZRD Enschede
Its not stated on the site yet where this years qualifier is in the Netherlands.
pretty cool this championship!
Will SK attend those qualifiers as part of theyr promotional tours? =)
So far 1 qualifer has been played (Brisbane #1)
1st Fzer0
(davio, Kurandus, Skz, Axi, Fez) this would of been the same lineup that represented Australia at a few ESWC's over the last few years.
2nd Uprising
(Burton, JakeG, Sylix, Goomba, Aspire)
As a Kode5 admin, if anyone requires any further information, feel free to PM me.
The Melbourne Qualifier is being held later on, (since the Australian Final will be in Melbourne and winning teams wont need to book accommodation or flights)
Team to Watch: Immunity (Ferg, BenoR, GazR, Kram, Yam or Destiny) this is basically the same team that had success in WCG last month, beating Dignitas and making it out of groups.
The Sydney Qualifers are coming up, expect big things from Encore (Rize, pnv, Pupajon, Apoc, Boomser) This team is the favourite. With pnv from immunity, and Boomser from the Australian CGS Sydney Underground team. You also might reconize RIze/Pupa/Apoc from the Encore team that played at WCG 2007. Who beat K23, and only lost to Emulate and NOA, the eventual first and second placed teams for the final.
Expected top 3 for Australia Kode5 would be something like:
Immunity , Encore , and any team for 3rd place.
