insomnia58: The Seedings

by Archive

It is one of the most hotly anticipated subjects at an iSeries event. Everyone will be expecting a seed, just to make their path through the group stages “easier”, some will be disappointed they didn’t get some and accept that. Others though won’t be so accepting and will suddenly storm down to the Admin table and list every single meaningless result possible to the admins in the hopes of forcing them to change their minds.

It is probably my most favourite part of LAN, because even though I don’t do them or even influence them, I still manage to get chastised for being “involved” and “not knowing the scene at all” because I “missed out a certain cup, or league or event that happened”.

That’s right, it’s the Seedings. Where everyone forgets what “seeds” are, and starts to twist it to suit their own silly agenda like it makes a difference. Still I’m sure Jon “ViciousHorizion” Kelly will listen to the droning on from some pointless team who will only just scrape it to Top 16 and claim they should be a Top 8 seed.

Top Seeds

1. CAZ eSports (jakem, robiin, tsack, Kryptix, Boaster)
2. fm-eSports (Whindanski, socN, nEiLZHiNHo, hudzG, CINDER)
3. Team Infused (Puls3, Weber, conoR, Aaron, MightyMax)
4. Rize Gaming (SHEEKEY, shaney, Peggyyyyy, JT, Immi)
5. XPC.gg (WHiTE, Seminte, xellow, COSMEEEN, sXe)
6. Winners (Kioshima, r0m, smooya, Brodyyyy, onscreenlol)
7. uFrag (Adamxoxo, Esio, HypeIzBack, Jak3y, Snodz)
8. The Last Resort (SpeedyG, ALIG, paynt, hoodlum, dUdLeY)

Mid Seeds

9/12 IGI eSports (Skuxz, Plasmaz, Philo, WADDY, Archer)
9/12 Enemies in Disbelief (Logzi, Danceyz, ajay, Jenko, JDD)
9/12 Team CeX (Resu, Chronic, EB, AndrewIsGod, Rob4)
9/12 Millwall Bushwackers (velox, Alex, Wong, prezzy, Shanked)

Low Seeds

TCA (pickles, nipXe, Zeo, FrankstaH, xfp) vs Impulse Black (FrisB, Chubz, Leon!, kreaz, wAVE)
Nerdrage (Caspian, Cynic, HVM, LS, Samwell) vs TPO.eSports (cthreestar, vedi, Mezii[F], MiKeZje, ArchEnemy)
Bulldog (Thomas, wafu, Nukeddog, Luzuh, kplus) vs True Esport (GUGLi, Goalie, SparkeR, befree, pier)
XENEX (Gizmo, logaN, MarDanT, JPK, sHAW) vs Radix eSports (m1sfit, celld, adam, claw, kray)

Remember both CAZ eSports & fm-eSports skip the group stages today as they have UK Masters to attend later this evening (at 6pm). As an also added extra, the final 8 seeds (all in Low Seeds) will be grouped together as paired, and will be in the groups to battle out for the actual 13/16 seed position. These teams were decided as “too close to call” and thus have been allowed to battle it out in the group stages instead to try and get into the Elimination Stages. It is a rather unique but bold strategy from the admin team this event, and one we look forward to watching unfold as the groups get underway in just over one hour from now.
