Oh please god no. There are three games that already have the spots. Those would be Starcraft 2, CSS, and WoW Arena.

The U.S. will bring home medals in CSS. That's probably it though.

naw US has barely beaten other countries in CSS. The Swedes, Chinese, and other countries are the usual victors.

That was 4 years ago. There are different team members now. And World Cyber Games is a completely different tournament style competition.
