ESWC: Group Stage 2

Posted by Protex at 20:37 10/7/2003.

The groups for the second phase have now been confirmed and they are now as follows:

Group 1:

Infernum
SK.swe
mouz
eu4ia

Group 2:

Team9
mTw.se
Bz
FG

Group 3:

GG
4K
nEph
f-zer0

Group 4:

zEx
Gamers-X
Intensity
mibr

Based on the above it could be a bit of a bumpy ride for 4K in order to progress further. What is odd is that both USA teams have been placed in the same group, this could be a good or bad thing. We could see both, neither or just one of them progress. Only time will tell on how things pan out.

nah I dont think they'll bottle it. Shaq looks to be doing pretty well now for his first major event and it's only time before Wr!ght turns on the hacks and starts owning everything up like lil, shaq and liq have been.

Xenon looks to be doing great one minute and not so well the next. Spose he's the type of player that can win you tight games.

I reckon they'll do ok for themselves from here on. They're not ranked 5th in the world, or whatever it is, for nothing after all [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

They've had a couple of extra games to get warmed up.

The replayed matches they looked a lot stronger.
I think they could win their playoff group but likely will finish 2nd or 3rd. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

top 2 go through again, a la champions league? or is it just the winner?

i think its pretty tight between all 4 teams in 4K's group actually, and would be suprised to see 4K get thru without taking a loss. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I couldn't predict 4ks group. Unlucky, because there are 4 top class sides in it. Two of the other groups have 3 top class sides, and Group2 only has 2.

That said, 4K doesn't have anyone who will likely contend to win it like SK or team nine in their group.

I think f zer0 aren't playing quite as well as some were hoping they would do, and with the competition they're up against I don't think they'll qualify. I wouldn't like to say which two will qualify out of 4K, nEph and GG though.

It all depends on none of the sides having a really bad game, if 4K do what they did this morning vs eq they won't qualify.

Group four, I might have an outside bet on mibr to qualify ahead of one of the US sides.

Doubt there will be shocks in groups one or two, especially with mouz playing s***. eu4ia vs infernum should be a good game, but I'd be surprised if infernum didn't take it. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i believe they beat 4K 13-9, after going CTs first. i think aztec (and perhaps dust2) are the only maps where the side u start on can really affect scores severely.

its gonna be close, neph got some awesome snipers, so gonna hinge on wright holding water tight, and mangiacapra being solid at bridge (which he always is) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

De_Train has now been removed, or so i'm informed, this leaves just Inferno, Dust2 and Nuke...

As for predictions...

this really is gonna be too close to call, I think now that 4K have picked up momentum there's no real reason why they can't go on to win this group.

4K, nEph, GG, fzer0.

I must admit to not rating GG as highly as I perhaps should. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
