mTw will not attend SEC
mTw will not present Denmark at SEC 2011 due to the Danish license holders, eSport-Danmark, being unable to cover the team's travel expenses.
mTw will not be attending SEC 2011 to represent Denmark due to the license holders for Denmark, eSport-Danmark, having yet to find a sponsor for the national team for 2011 thusfar. SEC only provides 750 DKK (~$136) per player for travel expenses, which the team claim is not enough to make the trip worthwhile.
Danny 'zonic' Sørensen told XplayN that mTw has not received the prize money from 2010's SEC event and that the cost of the team's trip to IEM VI Global Challenge New York turned out to be more expensive that had previously been expected.
SEC will be held from October 6th-9th in Warsaw, Poland.
The official explanation on the eSport-Danmark website:
mTw has still to announce an official fifth player, with AWPer Friis having joined for around a week and then left between the IEM VI New York pre-qualifier and final qualifier. mTw has proven to be one of the most stable teams of 2011 with their 2nd at the IEM V European Championship, 3rd at the IEM V World Championship, 3rd-4th at Xperia PLAY, 2nd at Dreamhack Summer and 4th at e-Stars Seoul.

""ESport Denmark have not yet found a new sponsor for the national team, and opportunities for international activities in 2011, is therefore limited.
Travel Contributions from the organizers of the Samsung Euro Championship was set at £ 750.00 per. person and planes, trains and car rental were therefore excluded
The only transport option was if the players themselves could put car. This has not been possible and it is therefore in agreement with the Counter-Strike players have decided that the team this year do not participate at the Samsung Euro Championship.
With the short deadline has not been possible to hold a qualification, and Denmark has therefore been forced to decline the invitation to participate at the Samsung Euro Championship the 2011th"
