CXG Seedings

Posted by Hotshot at 10:10 9/1/2004.

After much deliberation the finalised CXG seedings have been completed, with a few teams absent from the event for various reasons. Despite a few no-shows, the teams who did make the trip represent some of the best talent globally available and this should be one of the most competitive events in recent memory.

With a very impressive performance at CPL Winter 2k3, mibr's 7th seeding becomes justified. As far as the UK teams are concerned, TAG weigh in at 20th in the seedings and I-eS at 21st and with only 36 teams attending both teams will be hoping to beat their seeds in such a huge competition.

mouz way overranked, they should be 6th at least. 4K should be above Forsaken. Other than that they look about right imo. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

3D again getting a higher seeding than teams who consistently get top 6 or 8 finishes at big events when they far lower positions. How much longer can they live off old glory? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Any idea if they are re-ordering bracket for just 36 teams ? or if the bracket on gotfrag is right placing titans vs tag , i-es vs a-Losers and 4k vs necroraisers ?? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

if its the same layout as in #cyberxgaming then it looks ridiculous as they have space for about 100 teams, so some teams will get ridiculously far by the way of byes [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Mouz got a few good wins, but they were lucky to beat 4K, and were totally outclassed by SK and NoA. That's only the second major LAN tourney they've played with the current lineup anyway.

At CPL Denmark there was only 3 of the 10 clans listed above playing, and they came third. Not really a great result when you consider that.

Obviously they're a good team, but I'd say they should be 6th or 7th rather than 3rd. I'd be quite surprised if they get into the top 4.

I expect 4K to have improved more than mouz since the last CPL too, with 4K being a newer team. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

8th or 9th seed doesn't really matter, they are both in the same part of the winners bracket so they have to play each other to get to SK in the quarters, the path is no easier. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

In their six matches at CPL, SK.swe was 51-21 during terrorist rounds. That is over 70% won compared to 26-15, 63% on CT rounds.

This is mr15 right, and mouz lose every pistol round, they were even 5-0 down to 4K in both halves, and surely theyll start winning some pistol rounds soon :D, so i can't see 4K beating them unless theyre extremely lucky :D [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
