You can also check out a nifty little event preview by clicking here.

Update: According to eSportsUnited's Coverage website, the groups which were publicised here, on sogamed, gotfrag? and on other leading Counter-Strike news websites were not the official groups. The official groups are due to be announced tonight at 18:00 CET. I apoligise to everyone if the groups tonight are different to the ones that are above but I believe you can expect them to be very similar.

indeed, gotfrags preview was a bunch of biased crap. How can SKs teamplay be put above 4Ks :/
I for one think 4k have way more teamplay than SK, its just SKs aim, and fact they probably have the best 5 in sweden, that makes them the best :x [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

The preview so far looks pretty bad, SK have the best teamplay in the world. 3D's teamplay might even be better than SKs. esu: 9.2, 9.2, 8.5... avg 9.4 while eol: 9.2, 9.4, 9.1 avg 9.1. Just the start of the article and already numerous f*** ups. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Since they refuse to play online and hail from Britain, their access to world-class teams is somewhat restricted

Groups seem a bit s***, surely the 1st seed should be in there with the 8th seed? Think GoL can feel hard done by, in a group with #1 & #5 while level (#8) only have the 4th seed to play for example. Seems to me that the group draws need sorting a little better. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

no dev...hes right no? i mean, wtf have britain ever produced apart from 4k?? is there another uk clan that has ever done well in a lan apart from those inside gb?? thats what hes saying, it aint saying much to be top in britain since no other uk clan has impressed...

Hey, I wrote the article, sorry if you didn't like it.

Whether you like it or not, SK does have better teamplay than 4K. As I said earlier in the article, the overall score is NOT an average of the three statistics; a lot more is factored in to it. Although 4K is truly an excellent clan, they are not able to play against world-class teams as often as they would like.

All in all, 4K is a very good clan, aside from being one of my favorites. I tried to be truthful and unbiased in the article, and if you don't agree with my opinion, there's nothing I can do about it. Sorry.

Thanks. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

What's your opinion based on though c0ncept? 4k are well known for their LAN play. You seem to ignore that and the fact that they actually do play online and are currently boning Europe's best bar the scandanavians, topping their EC7 group. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Group C pool play looks to be an early test of both 3D and 4K's skill. :]

Have to wait and see, remember 4K were the side SK said gave them the toughest game at the summer 2002 CPL (i think thats the one 11-13) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Mr.Whippy, i cant be arsed to go read that gotfrag review again,but i think i remember him saying 4k would come 5th or something?? well none of the teams which he predicted coming 1-4th 4k have beaten, so it would appear to be an accurate statement... yeah 4k have beaten some good german teams in the EC but they aint at this clikarena so it aint for c0ncept to comment, ya [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

so sks game against gol in summer cpl where they actualy lost a map and had to play at a completely different level to anythign that they had played before was a much easier game than their win over 4k? (which someone like gol probably would have won if theyd done as well as 4k did at first, and aztec is sks worse map).

You cant seriously fault much of the stuff he says in his article. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

This skillfully written post came from some retarded without a grasp of anything that even resembles decent english. None the less...


Some sites around the globe posted news tonight. One of them was about the groups which was spread around at the iRC-network. Too bad it was unofficial..

Serveral newssites spread the word about official groups for the Clikarena-event which is going to be held in about one day in Toulouse, France.

The official groups will be release around 18.00 CET tommorow afternoon.
