CPL UK Qualifier: Teams & Seedings

Posted by Protex at 17:15 18/11/2004.

Gamefrontier have just released the list of teams that have been accepted into the CPL UK Qualifiers to be held at the Intel Bloodline event in London. Not only this but they have also announced the seedings for the competition and 2 reserve teams should any of those that have been accepted be unable to attend. The seedings are as follows:

  1. 4Kings.Intel
  2. GoodGame
  3. 5Giants
  4. Mysod
  5. Drake
  6. n!faculty
  7. Last Chance
  8. Landed!
  9. plan-B
  10. afterfx
  11. EDiT
  12. c4u
  13. calibre
  14. loserz
  15. madworld
  16. FairGame

Reserve Teams: Cau, 2s2p

As you can see some good quality teams, and it is nice to see the likes of Last Chance and c4u being accepted to give a boost to the UK contingent. What is noticeable is the absence of TAG, whether this be down to the new lineup or that they are attending a qualifier elsewhere. All that is left to say is good luck to all the teams attending and be sure to come along and spectate at the Qualifiers 3rd-5th December if you're not participating.

How are Landed seeded soo high? I don't recall them beating any good teams or winning anything good.

Why arent CTX not going? considering they've dont themselves some big favours by doing well in local lans you would think they would test them selves against better professional gamers!

I can see mYsod coming out on top in that qualifier. C4U might do well, its quite hard to tell. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

they do the intel events and i think they have there fingers in some of the cpl events.

Its obvisously worked as they have managed to blag there average clan into the cpl qualifiers. Even tho there are at least another 10 uk clans who are more worthy of a place

Whats the point of whining about the seedings XzT? No one gives a f*** what you think to be quite honest. So you might as well just wish all the teams good luck, and if Landed do flop on their arse, THEN, you can say something. Ok kid? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Im not whining far from it. Im just pointing out the fact landed.cs are only participating in this event becoz landed are hosting the event.

18:08 18/11/2004
And how do you know how good landed.cs are? Have you seen them play since they're squad has changed by 2 players? No, I didn't think so.

Also, you know every team who applied do you? And you know all the reasons why various teams were chosen or not? Again, didn't think so.

Now, do you want me to prove you're a moron on any other issues, or are you ok now? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

18:08 18/11/2004
Seedings were done not by me exclusively and was fully impartial. Landed.cs are placed just behind lastchance, a game I for one would feel would be very close indeed. Seedings were based on recent and past results, current lineup and individual player skill as well as team reputation and what preparation theyve put in for the qualifier.

From my 'managers' role; I can assure you my boys have been upping their standard after competing at eogc and have been regularly beating many of the teams below them in that seeding list. Be it seeded 8th or 16th, I think they will perform well. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Id love to hear some of these 10 UK teams that would beat us tbh.
Our last major tournament we qualified out of a group that contained AMD Cyber Team and GG ay EOGC. We came 4th at UKIE cup beating Landed.LastChance on the way through and are about the only all UK team to have a lan official win vs c4u. c4u I'm sure would have been rated higher if they had been attending with their full lineup but as wilz00 has had to drop out this seems to have dropped them down a place or two. XzT get a clue? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I think Landed have every right to be at the Qualifiers, if you watched them play against AMD Cyber Team they played very well and can definitely give a lot of these foreign teams a good run for their money. Plenty of decent foreign teams attending, not gonna be easy for any UK team to do well. If we finish on our seed I'd be very proud :o [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Tiz; ryans got it about right on there.

Flights are £330-370 if you book them say, this week. Half the problem GameFrontier have is that due to the quals being that late, the flights may cost as much as £1500! (the winners are lucky chaps!)

Hotel: CPL rates are pretty good but around $99-129 for the time there.

CPL pass: $80
