Counter-Strike: EM Montreal group draw

By: Luis Mira - Published October 14, 2008 at 1:26 PM EDT - Writer Archive

The group draw for Montreal's Extreme Masters Global Challenge took place this afternoon, with fnatic and x3o being drawn in the same group.

This year's U.S. WCG representative will have a hard task to progress to the playoffs after the group draw paired it with fnatic and local rival team j1n.

The winner of the Los Angeles' tournament, SK Gaming, was drawn in Group C, having to go head-to-head with Canadian side Sway Gaming.

Evil Geniuses' U.S. squad face a testing match at the group stage against Check-Six, while the Canadian line-up will take on none other than Made in Brazil.

The first and second-placed teams from each group automatically progress to the knockout stages.

"Yet, another headshot..."

They shouldnt do this tournament in Canada, just a few teams =/

It should be EM LA, EM Dubai and one other EM in Europe.

Your friendly neighbourhood Nagelbergman.

mibr just completely failed at IOL, but they will stay place top 4 because this is the weakest of all the global challenges, dubai will be the best...x3o got fuccked with getting fnatic, and look who EG got, they have a cakewalk to place top4 automatically.

SLASHLEVEL FTW.

2nd:SK
3rd:Mibr

Fnatic won't be amongst the 4 finalists. They don't seem at the top of their game and they might not take that tournament seriously because there is no top international teams in that event. Because of that, x3o will beat them.

Go x30 to place top three!
SK Gaming FTW

Get up, get famous. Play hard, go pro.

no top international teams #26? fnatic mibr sk are all top teams and even though they might not take the tounrey seriously its always good practice to play against all those 3 teams and its a good boos on self esteem if they win
