The Finnish team Excello, who finished 2nd place at WCG qualification is now having a problem with its trip to China. According to the headline on its official channel, the organization is having a big problem paying the CS squad flights and accommodation to China for the Grand Finals. It is said that "GOT SLOT TO WCG GRAND FINAL CHENGDU JUST NEED SPONSOR!!".The Finnish team ex-astralis joined up with Excello earlier this month, placing second at WCG 2009 Finland after a 2:1 defeat to Crack Clan in the Grand Final, which took place at the Assembly Summer event in Helsinki last weekend.
However, according to a topic on #astralis channel, the players are trying to find a new sponsor who is willing to send them for the upcoming WCG 2009 Grand Finals.

But it is still unknown that whether or not the runner-up has qualified for the Grand Finals, since according to WCG.com, only Crack Clan, who won the qualifier after defeating its national rivalry Excello 2:1, will be the Finnish representative at World Cyber Games 2009.
Official statement has not been released yet, stay tuned at SK Gaming for more information.
Excello 's roster:
Atte 'VIDI' Hyväkkä
Jirka 'JiGetus' Ryhti

fuck you
yeah im worried about that too :S
ahhahahh
the problem is that its sooooo far away. I'd be easier if they at least kept it *near* or in europe
Hope they will find a way to attend this event.
Anyway... 12K? Looking for a flight from Spain right now is about 700€, think it will be something more... 800€x6 (including a manager) 4800 + hotel (100€ for a double room) x3 rooms x6 days...) 1800€ = 6600€ + 2000€ in money to expend? that's not even near the 12000€ that dRiim said...
PS: Player licence? Just to go? for each player? :S
Good Luck Guys, you need it !
