ESWC 2010 Invites Announced
The ESWC administration has finally announced the invites for the upcoming finals in Paris from June 30 to July 4. The invites were supposed to be a chance for teams without a national qualifier to participate at the Electronic Sports World Cup. In the end only six national qualifiers were or will be held.EHOME was the shining winner of ESWC China, the strongest DotA nation as all experts agree.
DTS won the Russian qualifier, Asus Spring,
ReBorn won the Iranian qualifier and
Tribal.fr was victourious in the host country. Qualifiers in Malaysia, Iran and Poland are still to be decided. Especially the clash in Malaysia is going to be very interesting.
BesidesAEON (now LGD.YS), winner of 2008 as successor of
Zenith, five more teams were going to be invited. This number has fortunately been increased to nine. Six known European top teams were lucky enough to receive an invite:
MYM and
Blight are of course among them.
OK,
LAN,
Tribal.Int and
TeG have as well proven themselves worth a participation several times. The current Farm4Fame winner
Nirvana.Int represents North America in Paris. The Lineup is completed by
CNB and
MCiTY. This means that teams from five different continents will be part of ESWC 2010.
