Two months ago, the e-Stars organization opened up a community poll for fans to vote on who they wanted to represent the two regions for the Continental Cup. The e-Stars Continental Cup sets up an East versus West battle with three competitors representing each of the two regions for each game.

In the west, the winners of the online poll for Counter-Strike is fnatic, Meet Your Makers and emuLate. For Warcraft III, Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen along with Mykhaylo "HoT" Novopashyn and Kim "SaSe" Hammar led the vote count.

In the east, the Counter-Strike poll winners are e-STRO from Korea as well wNv.cn and Dragon from China. Warcraft III winners are June "Lyn" Park and Jae Ho "Moon" Jang from Korea and Xiao Feng "Sky" Lee of China.

The nomination process has not gone without controversy, however, as many teams have accused others of cheating in the community polls. The Continental Cup Committee was informed of these complaints so that they could take it into consideration when making their decisions. The online poll made up 50% of the nomination process, 20% came from achievements in 2007 and the remaining 30% from the Continental Cup Committee.

Counter-Strike 1.6
Team West	Team East
emuLate fnatic Meet Your Makers	Dragon e-STRO wNv.cn
Warcraft III
Team West	Team East
Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen Mykhaylo "HoT" Novopashyn Kim "SaSe" Hammar	June "Lyn" Park Jae Ho "Moon" Jang Xiao Feng "Sky" Lee

"And dont act like our internet doesnt have to be checked and processed through customs" - zenru

FUCK emulate, sk ftw

#5orce

nice.go goemulate:D

-(Bravo)-Jan1uX

emuLate received 31.84% of the vote and the next team was roccat with 12.36%. Also going by 2007's results, mTw with 2nd @ ESWC & WCG should have counted for more than emuLate's sole victory @ WCG, so I guess the voting % did have a very big influence even though the system is obviously flawed. I'm viewing this objectively of course :D I still think any of the 8 1.6 candidates for team west would beat any team on team east, bar maybe e-STRO on inferno ;).

emuLate hehe :))) GL

wcg 2007 champion - emulate
eswc 2007 champion - mym
best 2007 regular clan - fnatic

is the best list.

#8 has it

mTw 2nd wcg 2007
mTw 2nd eswc 2007
mTw 1st kode5 2007

mTw > emL & mYm IMO...

hahaha SK love losing out to emulate.

Your as ColdAsIce, Willing to sacrifice...

emL ftw let's go dudes

meh would probably prefer to see different teams... probably wont be able to watch it anyway because they have bad coverage and take like a year to release demos, or am I thinking of a different tournament?

Can't believe Lunatic-Hai didn't win. Anyway, West will win easily.

gl manuel!
looking forward to seeing those 1.6 teams in action, the euros pwning it up ;] shame mtw isn't there but yeah, hard choice

www.kaos-eu.com www.liquid-motion.nl

So dissapointing not to see the crew behind step up and admit that the pool was rigged and should be totally ignored.

3 great teams europe will send, no doubt, but the way theis have been decided is just lame.

www.XplayN.com

emL!!

West > East in 1.6
East > West in wc3 by far...Grubby is the only one who can hang with those guys

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2B-0b5KkpA

WOW... The WC3 divison is going to be a RAPE! The only chance West has is if ToD plays

Seriously the 3 best WC3 players versus a good-out-off-shape player and 2 nowere-near-top players. ToD should be in there and keep SaSe.

If you can read this, I can slam on my brakes and sue you!

ugh.. team east has no chance, except for eSTRO ofcourse =(

I don't know, I think team East is going to be the better one, its just my instincts though, and its not very reliable :p.

#26 is totally right. All these teams deserved a spot at the estar finals (especially those 3 and SK/mTw imo), but only 3 could go, and the poll was probably rigged. Well, fnatic, MYM and emL are not bad choices, only the way they were chosen isn't so great.

I am for Team West but Team East can be unpredictable.it will be interesting matches

#FIFTAR @ quakenet

L-hai & mTw instead of wNv & eml imo. Gl anyway.

P&P

#33 finally a french with some common sense =) Respect dude, respect!

emulate's fans cheated on the voting process, there were leads of videos showing how to do it

mTw.dk = mortal Teamwork indeed.

#37 yeah and obviously, only eml's fanboy cheated.

ANyone know the lineups for the asian teams
Wanna see where mal, enemy, jungle, sakula are

#786 Bismillah

too bad xcn.id cant make it

CRUNCHR

#39 If I'm not mistaken: mal & enemy play in L-hai, so they're won't be attending and jungle with sakula are from wNv (but I'm not sure about sakula).

emL :

top3 GameGune
top1 WCG
to3 DH

and... SK ?

top2 DH...

emL > SK

mTw would have been choosen ( top2 eswc, top2 wcg, etc ) but france = 60 million hab

Dk = 5

so emL won...

Why did you delete my original post? I broke no posting guidelines.

#43 because we did have our story straight. I spoke to the eStars people and the information is reflected here.

I believe that I still did not break the posting rules on Gotfrag. Don't you think a reply would have sufficed?

Btw, dig deeper.
