With only a few days to go until the eSports World Cup kicks off in France the organisers have released the seedings for the CS event. I am sure you will agree there are some shocks there, especially with recent changes regarding lineups for a number of the teams present.
The top 10 look like this:
Outside the top 10:
With the UK's very own 4K seeded at 11th, one wonders how the event organisers came about these seedings and whether they will change. It also seems the newboys at mTw (former-HLO) will be taking the spot of the German squad.
The seeds from 16 onwards are due to be randomly assigned closer to the event but the full attendance list can be found here.
Good Luck to 4K, lets hope they can put in a better performance than they did at Clikarena.

Gore & Impi left Mouz for Infernum (I assume thats real names use above)
If Koj left mTw.Ger along with their two Danish (I think) pleyers does that mean that they are without a team now? Seems that the Mouz & a-L player swapping thing has hit mTw hardest ironically. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Look at it from this point of view, aside from clikarena when was the last time 4k pld international competition on LAN?...WCG Finals? CPL Summer?
Not much for the organisers to base it on, + DarK wont be attending this event for 4K. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

As for the final placing, I can't see any reason why 4K can't finish in the top 3. They've always been extremely confident against the American teams and their record is reflective of that. Though sadly they did not meet 3D at clikarena.
SK.swe and T9.esu will always be an extremely tough game, but mousesports have a new lineup, eu4ia are well, a bit of an x-factor but should be beatable. nEophyte as they demonstrated at Clikarena are a great side and as long as 4K get them on anything other than Aztec they should be ok. aAa are overseeded :), mTw are def a side to look out for judging by their recent impact upon SEL, but lack the lan experience of 4k. Not sure about infernum. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

nah im behind 4K 100% even if they bomb out, which i dont think they will, cos i presume they would have practised hard so that it isnt a clikarena repeat.

for those who do not know me, i am a player for aAa.cs (so I am french, plz do not care spelling and grammar mistakes)
I agree with most of you regarding our seed, our current form is not good enough. But seeds are based on previous LAN results, and our two last big events (CPLs) were pretty ok, finishing 2nd and 5th.
Same thing for mouz.
Seeds are only meant to avoid <insert big team name here> vs <insert big team name here>in the beginning of the tourney.
We were seed #16 in Cologne and we ended #2. So if 4K worth better than their seed, they will definatly show it.
Hlo (hum mTw.se) Titans and zX9 really lacked international results so they were given top 16 spots (bacause they re good) but not too high (because they should not be seeded given the way it works). (mTw.se took mTw.de seed, Titans and zX9 have average seeds)
And yes, 4Kings will be with eu4ia, not GX.
seeded teams are split in the following groups : SK + Titans, 9.esu + rx, mouz + GG, zEx + PP, GX + zX9, nEph + Infernum, aAa + mTw.se [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
