In the high seed pools will be:

Adrenaline
ArmaTeam
astralis
Made in Brazil
Mouz Levicom GeForce

eu4ia
Ownage
Spirit Team
Spixel
SSV Lehnitz*AKG.com
The Stomping Ground
Virtus.pro
WOLF

Many sides in this group have the potential to cause an upset. Watch out for SSV Lehnitz*AKG.com and Virtus Pro to have a significant impact following their recent performance at CPL Belgrade.

The remainder of the teams are in the challenger bracket:

AMD Cyber Team
aSq
CZK
Darkhorse.e.Sports
deaThRow / BnB

14:58 3/7/2004		 spiXel should be ranked in the high seed pool. Whoever seeded them clearly doesn't have any idea about the Swedish scene right now and how strong they are.

gl all but I think aT have been seeded out of their league. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

15:35 3/7/2004		 French scene is similar to UK scene standard, I presume aT beat GG then. Even so WOLF won UK, their lower pool. aT are not in the same league as the rest of those seeds. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

17:26 3/7/2004		 I expect SK to come prepared. One team that is constantly negelected is The Titan, expect a strong, maybe even top 3 finish out of them. NoA's 2nd international proving grounds, so we will see what they can produce, they are obviously better then they were at CPL Winter, so a showdown between SK and NoA would be great to see.

MIBR continue to bootcamp and get better and better, if they have continued on the track they were going at CPL winter expect them to turn some heads. team stomping grounds has been having a tear on CAL this season and look great as well. Ownage had a poor performance at CPL UK quals, and need to rebound here.

Of course im on the fence on who i think is going to win what. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

23:20 3/7/2004		 walle is an excellent player.. just check out the demo's at SK.com

When you've got high profile players like iLight from xP and hyber + crypt from dopefish, clans who have all done more than aT have the seedings seem slightly innacurate.

hope spixel win! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

03:16 4/7/2004		 was there ever an explanation for why some countries were allowed 2 teams in the cup.
they're good team, but it seems a bit un fair if only one team was allowed to go from our (uk) qualifier. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
