According to fnatic.com, the Polish ESWC attendees have faced difficulties regarding their travel to Paris, as one of the sponsors have not paid their share of the charter flight. Trouble was first in one month ago, when HLTV.org reported that Poland would not be subject to a ESWC LAN qualifier. This was followed by that the main sponsor had pulled out, because of recent floodings in Poland which had damaged the sponsor's investements. The qualifier was later held online, seeing Frag eXecutors, DELTA and the female team Universal Soldiers making it to Paris. There have been several reports indicating that the same sponsor, which pulled out from the LAN qualifier, have not been able to pay their share of the charter flight which was supposed to take 28 representatives to Paris.
Meanwhile, news just in: according to the FIFA player Paweł "Sanczezik" Jędrzejsk, every representatives will make it to ESWC 2010, but divided on seperate planes. DELTA member Mateusz "ham" Rosłon has issued a comment on Cybersport.pl's forums, indicating that the representatives might just make it after all. Mariusz "Loord" Cybulski has also replied to the post which can be found below:
Stay tuned to HLTV.org for further updates as the situation unfolds. For now, every representative is rushed to Warsaw airport. Update [13:25] Frag eXecutors' owner, Adrian "ziggy" Witkowski, has now issued a calming update to their website, stating that the situation looks to be under control.
