All best teams will not participate, only some and I wonder if there will be any better DotA coverage at this ESWC than in Paris where we were able to see nothing live...

No, MyM finished 4th and they got a spot after ESWC admins changed their minds to open one more slot?

ESWC opened a third spot for ESWC Matsers, and since EG was already qualified, mym got the spot for finishing 4th

As i said before and i will say it again. Every tournament that is held on USA ground will have 50% less players then it should have due to visa problems and paranoid USA goverment. Lame USA!
Sleeping is overrated !

It's not just USA's fault for visa rejection. A lot of times foreigners wishing to enter the US acquire a visa and then stay here illegally.

Yup... and this will definitely cause some absence of great teams... Well like XcN, Mouz, Ks, Ehome and even rush3d cant join... Think it will be a boring ESWC this time...

Meh I feel sorry for your guys. Better luck next time with Dota, hopefully it will go better. As the first time (Dota in ESWC and exclude the fact that it was hosted in the US) things might not go as planned or how you expected it to go.

There could be millions of team that could be on the list of attendees that perhaps could have been preferred, but then again give at least credits to the Brazilian, Pakistan and turkey team who probably you might not have to be on that list over other teams but they might still put a good fight. Who knows maybe FTS, TYM, NW and S3X might actually win if they train hard atleast.

STFU and SHOP!

All you can shop, right in there. MYM shirts, NNScript goodies, and other stuff the ESNation network has to offer. If you can't find it there, we don't sell it! Are you ready to STFU?
It has been confirmed from DTS-Cup 2009 that some of the top teams, such as fnatic, SK-Gaming, ALTERNATE and mousesports, won't participate in the tournament....
