Readmore.eu have talked to Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen about the ESWC Cheonan that have released a list of pre-selected teams for the upcoming event. Lurppis complains about inviting teams such as Team EG.US or x3o instead of the KODE5 winner Gravitas Gaming.Crack Clan itself are only on the waiting list if one of the teams might not attend the ESWC Cheonan in early May. Tomi 'lurppis' Kovanen complained about teams being in that do not deserve a spot in a tournament like this. He says "Besides some good placings over the past three years we've been ranked 3rd-8th in ZoneRank/G7 rankings the whole time, yet we don't make a top12 list that includes two teams I've never heard of".
But he also continues about the esport itself saying "If you want to place well, you need to play a lot and even then you might get your winnings in 6-18 months, if you're lucky... We're going to KODE5 Spain in a few weeks but if we don't beat mTw there's pretty much nothing coming up for a few months".

I'm not sure why you dont have a qualifier in finland though, but I think that's not really the top ESWC management's fault but maybe more some fin. orga, right?
Get over it you geek your dog.
IF MY LITTLE BROTHER WAS BETTER THAN ME AT CS I WOULD KILL MYSELF ON THE SPOT.

this is a joke guys.lurppis is absolutely right
-x3o
-EG
. Gravitas
. Crack Clan
although i think that k23 should be in this because their region is ASIA!!! anyway gl hf i agree about the invitation of asian teams though
EG's performance at the global finals made me not consider them as a top team anymore, they have loads of work to do.
x3o has bunch of work to do aswell.
CrackClan and Gravitas have proven for a long time now that they can beat the big teams, I do find this decisions absolutely ridicilous.
This list was not made correctly.
It's a bit strange, that the winner of KODE5 USA is not invited when the EG and x3o are.
Crack Clan and some other teams should have been invited, cause the best teams are playing for the places at ESWC Grand Finals.
That list is a joke.
k23 in the second list :/
