We continue our preview of the European Nations Championship 2008 Finals by having a look at the Warcraft 3 Finals participants. Germany and Finland are the countries that qualified directly for the Finals. Both have no losses yet. The teams that qualified through the relegation are Sweden and Russia. See below for the 1st round fixtures in the Finals.

Not only Counter-Strike: Source is played in the European Nations Championship 2008, so we continue our Finals preview with the game's ancestor: Counter-Strike 1.6. Sweden and Denmark qualified directly for the Finals and the relegation results are now certain aswell. Let us again have a closer look at the fixtures and the possible consequences.

With the Games Convention 2008 also this year's ENC Finals are approaching. In Counter-Strike: Source Germany and Slovakia qualified directly for the Finals. The relegation results are certain aswell now. Reason enough for us to have a closer look at the fixtures and the possible consequences.

Unfortunately the Swedish Counter-Strike: Source team also had to be removed from the European Nations Championship 2008. The team is not able to play their two remaining matches before the deadline. Thus they can neither finish the Main Round nor can participate in the Finals, obviously. Sweden is the fourth CS:S team that leaves ENC 2008 prematurely.

As the Netherlands did not show up to their match on Monday, 30th of June, their penalty point level disallows the further participance in ENC 2008. The Dutch CS 1.6 squad is therefore kicked from the tournament. Former penalty points were given last week because a Wildcard was drawn shortly before the actual match began.
