Copenhagen Games group draw

29-3-2013 00:51

The group draw for Copenhagen Games has been made, as the 32 participating teams have learned who they will come up against on Friday morning.

The first day of Copenhagen Games, live from Øksnehallen, is now behind us, and only 32 teams remain in contention for the first prize of €16,500, which represents half of the total prize pool.

These 32 sides have been divided into eight groups of four teams, with each group having one high seed, one low seed and two teams from the qualifiers.

Ninjas in Pyjamas have been handed a relatively easy task as they will lock horns with Curse's Finnish side and with Danish duo EYES ON U and myRevenge. VeryGames are also expected to come out on top of their group, but they will find things a little bit harder after being paired with 3DMAX, Lemondogs and iRage.

The group draw has also renewed some national rivalries: Anexis will take on Reason Gaming, Western Wolves will tackle Copenhagen Wolves, n!faculty will lock horns with mousesports, and Virtus.pro will play against Nostalgie.

Each group match will be played in a best-of-three format. The top two sides from each group will progress to the Upper Bracket, which will use a best-of-three format, while the bottom two will fight for their lives in the best-of-one Lower Bracket.

Group A	Group B
VeryGames	Natus Vincere
3DMAX	fnatic
Lemondogs	BX3
iRage	Epsilon
Group C	Group D
Curse	Team ALTERNATE
Anexis	fm-eSports TOXiC
Reason Gaming	Temp.no
LowLandLions	Quantic Gaming
Group E	Group F
Western Wolves	n!faculty
Copenhagen Wolves	mousesports
plan-B	ESC Gaming
Server-Forge	KILLERFISH
Group G	Group H
Ninjas in Pyjamas	Virtus.pro
Curse	Nostalgie
EYES ON U	Publiclir.se
myRevenge	Xapso

We would like to remind you that you have until Friday at 10:00 to participate in our contests: Guess the winner of the male tournament, Guess the winner of the female tournament, Guess the top male fragger, and the Betting Contest.

2013-03-29 01:06

yeah this might be true, but for me NiP and Curse aswell as both Wolves teams seem to be clear favourites for advancing =)

2013-03-29 01:20

Poor Epsilon and Lemondogs! But they are strong! GL!

No problem, they have a second chance in the lower bracket even if they don't win a single map.

2013-03-29 01:08

Group F, i think nfaculty is way better than mouz, but we'll see, it's bo3

mouz is better.

2013-03-29 01:03

Their last Lan performance was way too bad, But let's hope that they do well ^^

n! SUCK on lan, Yes I mean they SUCK on lan. They only got to Semis at ESWC coz they played JUST Inferno on the road to semis where they had to play a different map and eventually crash, so they SUCK.

2013-03-29 06:33

Yeah, you're right, they sucked against ESC, i saw those games online vs alternate and some german teams and they were pretty good

2013-03-29 11:48

Trust me, temp will go on at the top in this group :)

2013-03-29 02:11

A-VeryGames, B-Na`Vi, C-Anexis, D-ALTERNATE, E-Cph Wolves, F-ESC, G-NiP, H-Vpirtus.pro

You are right :)

Every team advances to the playoffs anyways.

Nice groups! Cant wait to follow fnatic. Predictions! With a couple of surprises.. A- VG/LD B- NAVI/fnatic C- CURSE/ANEXIS D- ALT-QUAN E- 2x Wolves F- ESC-KILLERFISH G- NIP-EYES H- VP-NOSTALGIE

Group F omg, very sick games on that group! also fnatic vs navi, i think navi will be victorious! DEFINITILY THE BEST TOURNAMENT OFF ALL!

gl LD, Na`Vi and Virtus.pro... please, don't fuck my dreamteam up xD

2013-03-29 01:01

same with the britians

You are right, just noticed after reading your reply.

Pretty weird group draw. The british ended up in the same aswell as 2 german teams.

I presume one of the drawers is named Hamlet or something like that ::)

:-D

2013-03-29 01:15

Now that is tricky to achieve...too few innocent hands available for the draw apparently ::)

2013-03-29 01:24

Deception! The draw has been tampered with!

2013-03-29 01:37

I would say 'Inception'...if you know what I mean ;)

2013-03-29 23:00

damn stome stronK groups

Group B and Group F ! Damn !

Omg!!!Group A,B,F are amaizing.

H VP VS NOSTALGIA wow

group B so amazing! it's sad epsilon will eliminate Na'Vi or fnatic into lower bracket :/

Every team will move on the playoffs. Groupstage is just about the placement in the playoff tree.

you know what i mean

fnatic into lower bracket :/ 01:16:33 :P

2013-03-29 01:21

ye that's it buddy

2013-03-29 01:38

group F might have upsets, others should be pretty clear.

2013-03-29 01:11

a,b,f ufufuf :D gl esc gaming

Group B very entertaining, and group F death group! only negative is russian and british teams in same groups.

2013-03-29 01:18

Epsilon to show their ONLINE results? ;)

I hope for navi vs. epsilon 16:0 and fnatoc vs. epsilon 16:0

Are the playoff match-ups known beforehand (like A1 vs B2) or will there be a new draw after the group stage ends ?

2013-03-29 01:27

lmao quantic got such an easy group too bad ~_~ wanted americans to go home without geting out of the group would have showed them their place.

Can't wait for this, gunna be some great matches.
