You got your flag!

Well, you should put flag for all the teams. I only knew for them, but you should put flags for other teams. Thou my opinion is that it's not important from what country are the teams as long as they enjoy the game.

1 reply

Yes, exactly.

2008-10-04 14:11

owned hahahahaha

2008-10-07 16:59

I'm brasilian as u can see from my flag but, i think that NOW mibr still don't got a lineup to beat them, not cause this lineup is suck, to tell the truth this lineup is the best that mibr can have, but because they wasn't playing 1.6, and they hasn't much time to practice with this new lineup, if they was praticing for sure they would be one of the top teams, but i think that, we wont go far, but just because they are backing now. This lineup of mibr doesn't need to proof nothing to anyone, they are excelent players and in the profissional cs playing scene everybody knows that

2008-10-03 09:42

Yes, yes, i cant tell you something like that too:"sYnck owned MiBR @ shgOpen 16-1 and mibr are noobs anyway, sYnck worlds best team" etc. Chill out.

2008-10-03 11:28

lol.Strange draw.By what principle were this groups drawn?There were some pools or what?I mean why in C group are at least 3 teams from world's top 8 (maybe top 5...i don't realy know) and group E have only one good team?Pity that good teams will be eliminated already in group stage. :(
