Arbalet Cup Best of Four has been announced to take in Kiev, gathering fnatic, SK Gaming, UNiTED and the newly crowned IEM4 World Champions from Na´Vi.

It might be the smallest Arbalet Cup to date, but looking at the participating teams, there is to be no doubt that it will be a show to the eye. Arbalet Cup Best of Four will take place at Kiev CyberSport Arena, a brand new LAN center set to open in the first days of April, the tournament will take place 9-11th of April. Invited to the tournament are fnatic, SK Gaming, UNiTED and Ukraine's very own Na´Vi.

Participating teams

fnatic
SK Gaming
UNiTED
Na´Vi

The four teams will play a group stage, where the teams will play five maps against each opponent. There will be played two matches per day and three play days in total, to determine the final placings. This also mean that there will be no playoffs, but still expect a lot of great action, as the teams will be playing five maps per day.

The total prize purse for the event is $22,500 and will be distributed as follows:

1. $12,000
2. $6,000
3. $3,000
4. $1,500

The event will take place 9-11th of April at the Kiev CyberSport Arena in Kiev and HLTV.org will be on site to bring you all of the action.

1/ fnatic 2/ Na´Vi 3/ SK Gaming 4/ UNiTED

2010-03-18 18:56

It depends a lot of who changed there tactics and how team UNiTED is playing.If nether of the teams changed something and UNiTED don't bring their A-game I think Na'Vi will destroy them again.If fnatic learned their lesson from the last tournament and the mastermind cArn made new starts fnatic will win for sure.So my prediction 1.Na'Vi 2.UNiTED 3.fnatic 4.SK

2010-03-18 18:59

2010-03-18 19:03

Fnatic NaVi because de_nuke is :( for him SK United

2010-03-18 19:14

i guess 1. fnatic 2. SK 3. Na`Vi 4. UNiTED i think where is just very a little chance for eastern european teams:D but who knows. HF

2010-03-18 19:21

So is there gonna be 2 matches between everyone ? For example, is SK going to play against all of them twice, or fnatic twice, Na'Vi twice and UNiTED once ? Else I don't know where the 5 matches are distributed... EDIT: Oh, 5 matches against the 3 others... 2 matches everyday for each team, does that make sense ?

Two matches per day, three play days in total.

Oh yeh Arbalet is amazing. He makes a great contribution to the development of cybersport in SNG.

2010-03-19 03:49

trust me navi got this, after their latest victory they should be extremely motivated to keep or claim the nr1 rank in the world. they will practice harder than any other team and will learn from previous mistakes. i think they will win this tournament hands down. second is most likely again going to be fnatic but it can also be sk if they are on fire. united will be last.

2010-03-19 05:41

2010-03-20 18:10

Here is the deal: NaVi has to stand their titel, fnatic need to take the revenge on NaVi, SK must show that they can do alot of damage by winning this, and united must show very good game and take atleast second place. Well lets see what will happen =)

2010-04-05 13:54

no one team can win again vs fnatic ..

2010-04-05 14:56

I think percentagewise to win it's like this: fnatic 35% NaVi 25% SK 25% UNiTED 15% hope NaVi takes it though!

2010-04-05 15:34

IMO, prizemoney should be higher for this event! NOT that i don't respect Arbalet for even making this event, but even that female event has a higher prizemoney, ridiculous :\. Would be cool, if the female price would be reduced a little and we would see a reasonable prize for this kind of an amazing event!
