The US qualifier for World Cyber Games 2009 will take place this weekend, in the city of New York.

The qualifier will kick off in a Round Robin, featuring two groups of each five teams. Group A will be played Friday and Saturday. Group B will be played on Saturday and Sunday will feature top four playing a double elimination bracket, to determine which team will go to Chengdu.

Evil Geniuses will for the qualifier be without their captain Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen, who due to being Finnish citizen, cannot compete in the qualifier. Evil Geniuses will use Travis "tuBBy" Bechtol as their fifth for the event.

This could very well favor compLexity much more to win the qualification spot for Chengdu. Evil Geniuses earlier this week lost the CEVO-P final against compLexity, cashing in a 0-2 defeat.

The first round in Group A will start at 20:00CET, so be seated and follow the US qualifier for World Cyber Games 2009, as we will bring you all of the action this weekend.
