The seeds do kind of make sense in the screwed up CPL way, since they claim they only take into account CPL tournament results. Mouz, lunatic-hai = cpl spain, col = cal-i, sk eg and rival cpl summer 05, fnatic CPL singapore, jmc won a cpl qualifier and 4th at cpl summre 05. Nip should be higher i think, they finished 2nd at CPL UK.

And it's crazy that almost half of the quake4 players didn't show up, and almost 20 cs teams!!

these rankings are very good with only some relatively minor issues
really the only team that is seeded not near where they will finish is jmc (because of how they placed last cpl) otherwise all the top seeds are fine

i guess they really looked at eswc placings in comming up with these seeds
nip got crapped on
mirb should be seeded over 3d and fnatic
how begrip got that seed doing surprises me

no shows:
enervate - i would have really liked to see what they could do
