The game that needs no introduction. The godfather of organized eSports, videogame violence discussions and „pray'n'spray“. Having lost a lot of its initial esprit over the last decade, it summons all its strengths before Counter-Strike: Global Offensive hits the shelves to either revive or kill the franchise entirely.

About the CLG.eu thing: my first instinct was that CLG didn't want to pit two of their own teams against each other (although sending the EU team would've made more sense in hindsight, my logic is flawed). Then I read into it and you can barely say "they didn't manage to qualify". They got screwed over by regulations which make no sense. They qualified as a team that was not contractually bound to mTw, yet mTw was granted the qualification spot, despite having no team. While the decision was ultimately lawful, the set of rules applied make, and I repeat myself, no sense. They certainly deserve participation since they qualified, yet politics forbids them from going.
anyone knows?
cuz LoL pwn shit
