Below are the top 10 seeds for the CPL Summer World Championship.

1. Team 3D

4. zEx
5. Gamers-X
6. TEC
7. TAU
8. GBR.TitaN
9. 4K
10. mibr

Upper Bracket.

Seedings seem slightly biased towards American teams through their CAL-I results, but we will have to see. Four-Kings Intel will be playing American side cuT at 5:00pm gmt.

GbR.TitaN are the winners of the singaporean qualifier and finished 12-16 in the last cpl i think.

they're rated highly by the americans... gotta wait to see if they're worth their seeding i guess [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

yes, so if they drew all the Europeans against each other to eliminate as many European teams as possible, they'd do the same to American teams by making them play each other

not too taxing :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

ye, MurK got a lower seed than perhaps they deserve cos they'd never attended a cpl before, if they werent in cal-i they would have been f***ed [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

smittens you are correct, but if there are more american teams than there are european teams then when it comes down to the quarters or whatever then there will be more yanks than europeans. And as us euros are awesome if the split of yanks/euros then more euro teams would make it through

or something like that [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

The American bias is'nt suprising to me, after all they watch these teams week in week out in CAL, what does suprise me is Team 3D are seeded 1st, as even their CAL performances have'nt been top notch recently. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

aoX, Gbr.Titan, 3D, ZeX and Team9

3D were always gonna be #1 seed as theyre current champions, SK being seeded ahead of 9 is debatable imo seeing as 9 are rated the best in the world atm and won the last big event [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Here is my guess:

1. Team9
2. zEx
3. SK
4. 3D
5. 4K
6. Gamers-X
7. TEC
8. mibr
9. TAU
10. GBR.TitaN

I think team9 will do well in this event, as will zEx.
But I think SK are lacking some of the skills they once had - but hey I could be wrong ;] [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

How about every1 stops being so ignorant and understand the cpl rules?

Cpl seedings is only based on official CPL rules....
This means a seeding can only be based on that teams previous CPL results, in which case 3D won the previous World championship, therefore deserve no.1 seed. Sk won cannes, won a previous world championship and i think came 3rd in the winter, obviously 2nd. Then Team9 did well in cannes too to come 2nd, zEx won the CAL.

The other seeds come above 4K because 4k's only previous CPL result was from the previous winter where they came 12-16th....(and before u say i-es came 6th, it's the name of the team, you cant change name and get same seeds) so 4K can be considered lucky to get quite a high one, g-x, tec, tau all are CAL clans so get those seedings.

Anyway, it's setup for another 4K vs SK game, lets see what happens this time. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I agree with what DArtagnan says the seedings are based on the cpl rules, but you cant help but still look at them and think there should be a better way to sort the seedins. If i remember correctly I-eS pretty much owned TAU on the american friendly map, mill at the last cpl dallas. Anyone feel free to correct me if im wrong.

Yes but that's I-eS, not 4K, even if it's the same team, a name change means u dont get to keep that seeding. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

CPL make a point of not including non-cpl tournaments in their seedings, they want to be the only gig in town, not the crown among the jewels. :/

4k/ies beat GX both times they've played and TAU the once they've played iirc. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Well im pretty confident 4K are better than gamers-X, TAU, TEC and GBR.TitaN.

4k beat g-X quite easily at eswc, there lineup is better now with dark in there, and they have prepared better. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

TEC are a great team when they take it seriously and get their pistol rounds together. Their main cause of losses is losing both pistols. MR12 = bye bye TEC, because at some point their pistol rounds will f*** them vs a good team. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

actually with those seedings, providing that the 3 european teams in the top 10 win all their games and it is indeed double elimination, none of those 3 european teams would meet until the semi finals (SK vs Team 9).

in fact 4K's draw would see them playing GBR.Titan in the upper bracket last 16, then 3D in the quarters and zEx in the semis, if they were to win their games..... providing the system works the same as it normally does in double elimination. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
