After little over a month of online action, Team Kinguin are ready to make their first LAN appearance as they will be competing in the BYOC qualifier for Dreamhack Summer's $40,000 CS:GO tournament.

The top two sides from this qualifier, to be held on June 13, will advance to the main tournament, in which they will be joined by six other teams, including Swedish duo Ninjas in Pyjamas and fnatic.

Kinguin's results have so far been mixed, but their 2-0 victory over Virtus.pro last week in the Alienware Area51 Cup proved that they are capable of facing the best in the world head-on. Still, that one result certainly will not erase memories of the early exit in SLTV StarSeries XIII following defeats against Gamers2 and EnVyUs.

The full list of participants for the BYOC qualifier has not yet been revealed, but it is believed that other top teams will be taking part in the tournament. dignitas' Jacob "Pimp" Winneche recently confirmed that his team will try their luck in the qualifier.

This will be the first of two offline events that Team Kinguin have lined up for the next two weeks, the other one being the Central European ESWC qualifier, in Warsaw, from June 19-21.

SLTV StarSeries XIII

• Dust 2: 12-16
  
• Cache: 13-16
  
• Train: 0-0

The second edition of the Alienware Area 51 Cup, hosted by Curse together with ESEA, saw a last-minute change to the list of participants as dignitas stepped in for mousesports, who withdrew from the tournament.

The four-team cup kicked off with an all-Danish clash between Team SoloMid and dignitas, with the CCS champions confirming their status as heavy favorites as they moved past their fellow countrymen by a 2-1 scoreline. The other semi-final had a surprising outcome as Team Kinguin, who have been struggling to get the basics right, beat Virtus.pro on two maps.

A flying start from TSM in the grand final on de_mirage saw the Danes string several rounds together, but that did little in the way of impressing Kinguin, who picked themselves up and finished the half up 8-7. As CT, however, Finn "karrigan" Andersen's men were simply far too hot to handle as they dropped just one round before sealing a 16-9 victory.

The map that followed was de_overpass, where Kinguin were in the driving seat during the first half as they stormed to a 14-1 lead. Viewers who expected Alexander "SKYTTEN" Carlsson's men to quickly wrap things up were surprised to see TSM close the gap little by little, but the Danes ended up falling short in the final round.

The decider map was de_cache, and here TSM were in control for most of the game as they quickly claimed a 16-8 success after picking up 11 rounds on the CT side.

Alienware Area 51 Cup #2 final standings:

1. Team SoloMid - $7,000
2. Team Kinguin - $3,000
3-4. dignitas
3-4. Virtus.pro
