News \ ENC: Russia misses the finals

ENC: Russia misses the finals

Russia now announce that they unfortunately wont attend to the offline finals in Leipzig. The country to replace them is no other than Denmark and will together with Germany, Sweden and Finland fight for the title.

The reason to this sad announcement is a visa related issue where the application that was send in was rejected. This is what the Russian teamleader Dominic "sunny" Bougé has to say about the turn up:

I am really sorry it came this far again - Russia not at the ENC finals. I guess it is a really sad moment, because we deserved to show our offline skills at a big event. We all wanted to meet each other in Germany, but due to visa issues, the embassy decided to reject our application. Anyway, we wish Denmark all the best and hope they will make the best of our spot! Denmark, bring home the title for Denmark and Russia!

ENC´s staff decided to pick Denmark as a substitute and this is what their leader Henrik "Kemper" Andersen has to say:

Denmark's Warcraft 3 team just got an invitation to the ENC finals in Leipzig, since Russia and other countries could not make it. We are happy to get this possibility again, since we have had lots of positive experiences with the ENC. Sadly, we missed the qualifications in very close games, but we enter the ENC finals to show that this was a mistake.
