"Five teams from Counter-Strike, four players from Warcraft III will qualify for the Finals in Korea."

You mean four (?)

My english is worse than yours

No five, read the press release.

Sexy. Group 2 should give us some amazing matches :)

ok i was sure it was 4, but well it's better like this. Wings, icsu and x4 -> out after the 1st groupstage

NiP meets NoA again :P

since catch-gamer didnt take their "free spot", WEG added an other spot to the qualifier in stokholm :)

my guess: team9, asylum, EYE and NoA :)

WEG going to be using the flash bug fix? Would have thought that they would considering all the problems they had last season with it. :)

*DEAD* 3D shaGuar : if you take the ens off your last name, and add face, you get dickfac

NoA, NiP, Asylum, EYE and possibly team9/fnatic

when start this event ?

this event starts 24.9, i guess..

i guess too ...

hot damn! group 2 looks damn impressive
gonna be some good matches ^^
when does this start

team9, NiP, NoA, EYE, and wings

SirScoots: These must be CSS ninjas...hence, they look great and perform poorly. ;)

what mismatched groups D;

/flex

4 teams through from each group.. glad its not just 2, then it would be much tougher :D

wings and ICSU going home from group A, and fnatic from group 2, imo.

no no #17

x6 , team9 & GG is equally tough as NoA NiP EYE imo

ppl are just reacting to the big names but on lan x6 gg & team9 are damn good

the groups are fine

Go NiP!!!!! NoA for sure will be amazing at this event.

Lets see what team9 is made of :D I wonder what eye's lineup is right now.

some teams are going to get screwed in group2

[:|

#20 archie, bullen, carn, dsn and zad

http://www.gogetalife.ytmnd.com/

not really #21 since it means none of them will have to face each other in the first round of bracket play Its actually problably better for nip/noa/eye to be grouped together.

if anything will drive you crazy prematurely its the gigabyte commercial

This is going to be good. Lots of good teams in attendance.

nice to see EYE back in action

are 4K not going WEG3?

team9 wont perform imo. they did well @ 1 event.. whoopie. they needa back it up now
NiP are consistant should take 2nd group =)

#27 there is a beginning at everything

#27 they won CPL UK, They won WCG Norway (it was CS 1.6) and they won vs CAtch Gamer in the final 16-6 or something. Also they won a online match vs Catch Gamer 16-7 I think they are backing it up ;)

Interesting seeing no 4K at all, in both CS and WC3.

Yeh we arn't #26.

And Eye's lineup is insane. I really hope theyve been practicing hard and pull something good off...

those are some horrible groups. The only good teams in group 1 are x6tence and team9. group 1 is ounter-Strike 1.6 Group 2

1. NiP
2. NoA
3. EYE
4. fnatic and that's huge. They should have really spread out the talent

#33 right Asylum (clan.it) and GG aren't good teams, despite they did better than x6 and Team9 at eswc ...

#33 you are forgetting that Asylum(Clan-IT) and GoodGame both placed top8 @ ESWC 2005 and Asylum(clan-it) even won 16-7 or something vs compLexity @ ESWC 2005 right ? thought so..

time to see if team9 is for real for real

Group 1 is much stronger than Group 2. I think team9, x6, Asylum, NiP & NoA will proceed.

hi my nem is toktoktutu chong, wnv are gooder then fantic , jungl he snip so gooder !!

team9 won yesterday against Catch-Gamer (this time with 16-7) in NESL. This is the third time since CPL they have beaten them.

Catch Gamer = Dreadful.

Best of luck to all teams! Hopefully all the forum kids are happy now!

x4 is going to surprise everyone, and fnatic won't win a match in the group stage.

Best of Luck to all teams!

lurppis, how can you say that catch is bad ? no wonder why you're so unpopular in the finnish scene, what an arrogant ****

btw

NESL = online

CPL UK, Turkey and WEG = LAN

what Catch Gamer can or can't do online isn't important. Losing a NESL match to the CPL UK champ is a shame LOOOLZLLOZLOL

group 2 is staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

lurpis quit crying and stfu. ugly kid.

just for the info, "uno" means "1" and not "0"

Team9 will destroy Group 1 and I want NoA to win, but they got some tough competition, so it will be a uphill battle for a roster still in its infancy stages of chemistry. And as for WC3 I'm going to cheer on good old SK.ElakeDuck (plus his name owns :P) and it will be interesting to see how the players of fnatic fairs!

Go Read a Book =)

Group 2 is stronger, but there will be interesting matches in both. Four teams go through from the each group, so it doesn't matter if most of the swedish teams ended up in the same group.

lol.
