GotFrag eSports

(Los Angeles, CA) -- GotFrag is on site here in beautiful sunny California where ten of the best teams in the United States will compete for a spot to attend the WCG 2008 Finals in Cologne, Germany later this year.

MoB Gaming just came off a huge win in CEVO Pro Season 9 a few weeks ago and will look to hold on to that momentum to drive them through the weekend. Despite their very recent roster change, they have adapted together quite well and will need to utilize that to solidfy a shot in the finals.

X3O failed to came away with their third CEVO championship not too long ago and will still have that hanging over them as they make way to the event. They are eager for redemption and will give it their all this weekend to grasp what they know they can achieve.

Not to mention, EG and PoV will also be looking for some payback as they missed their shot as well. Nepo of EG has been holding them back recently and will definitely need to step it up this weekend to make sure they get out of group play.

Prize Distribution

1. $15,000 USD
2. $7,500 USD

first!.... also go EG, mob, x30, and paragon!

how can some of the teams here play at WCG ? since they'r attending EM too

They are both held in LA so it might be difficult but they are gonna have to run back and forth a lot, haha.

They're both held inside of E4All which is a electronic entertainment convention. They'll have to walk back and forth in between each-other, but its my understanding that this has been planned for.

WCG and ESL have coordinated to best accam0date the teams so there should not be any conflicts and they should be able to play in both tournaments without conflict. A good example of two organizers working together to support the 1.6 community.

It's gonna be a fun weekend, looking forward to it.

and complexity???????? :S

nMc $ teskA

WHERE IS COMPLEXITY???????????????????????????????...

I expect top3 to be MoB, x3o, and PoV.

I do think of EG as a top team. Especially during the revival tourament, I saw a lot of good plays by them, but there will always be better.

pretty sure col isnt playing because of cgs restrictions. Or maybe they just don't care enough for 1.6 yet. they definately showed everyone that they can easily be a dominant force in 1.6 again though.

jlake is a dumb,why the hell he doesnt stay with this line in 1.6 and contract better guys for play source for coL -_-

time to see who is on top on lan

Be nice.

Hope they don't get burnt out in the middle of the day from 2 diff events.

Complexity didn't qualify for the event since Guardians and MNM placed ahead of them at the Texas qualifier. I think they were planning to attend this event if they had been able to qualify, but it was out of their hands. I'm not sure why they're not participating in any ESL events though... I suppose they want to get their focus back to Source since the ESL season runs through March 2009, but they still could have attended the Global Challenge to see if they still have any muscle against international teams ;)
