Just moments ago, the Portuguese qualifier for this years Electronic Sports World Cup just concluded, with k1ck coming out on top over exotic. The final between the two teams was in a best of three format, with exotic only needing one map to secure their place at the finals. However, k1ck where not prepared to let them take it that easy, as they took the first map, de_train, 16-5 and the second, de_nuke, 16-0.

The team will receive paid travel and accommodation to this years grand finals, which will take place later this month and will be held at Disneyland Paris in France.

There is now only one qualifier to be played and that is the UK qualifier, which will be played online this coming week. Unfortunately, the team list has decreased and now only stands at 28 teams. This comes after the Argentinian qualifier got cancelled, Bosnian organisers cant produce the funds for the winning team eu4ia and the Chinese organisers refused to take care of tyLoo.raw's expenses.
