The first week of the Early Xmas Cup has passed, the seeding matches have been played and the real deal is about to begin. Not many surprises happened. The most impressive team was without any doubt 
118 proving that they are still more than capable of destroying any oponent even with the recent lineupchanges. With lightning fast offences on both beach and assault 
KiH were simply overrun and could not find an answer.
In another match
rewind have played their first official rtcwmatch in 5 years against 
fixed. Before the game many expected rewind would not have any chance however they started off with an impressive beach round setting a 3minutes time and held fixed on the beach during their defence. Although fixed then managed to turn the tide and win the remaining 3 rounds, rewind have shown potential and maybe with some more practise can aim for the top again.
The next stage of the cup we will have 4 groups of 5 teams playing for the first three spots in their group. The first will directly move on to the quarter finals while the second and third placed will play against each other for the right to be their oponent.
The playoffs will be played in single elimination mode.

think the first 2 seeds are rather weaker while the 3rd and 4th might be a bit bitter. Would say it's even all in all.

GL normality!
C & D might be a bit more even than others but I dont think thats a bad thing, think its only good, more even matches = much more intense&fun games and theres more point playing the match. Dont think we'll see many 4-0's :=)
Theres always talk & whine bout the groups ofc, some people arent pleased and some are.
Once again HF GL to everyone, lets have a nice cup with minized problems and minimized lag.nl (GERMAN ROUTERS DO SOMETHING RIGHT FOR ONCE PLZ)! xd
enjoy the cup
looking at the seeding games again, seems the structure is complete random. :/
Except if you were in a higher or lower seeding group because of your seeding match that you won/lost , it doesn't make any difference.
even with the whine, I think the map decision was good, nice how one overlaps so you can always get a scrim even if you play your current weeks game early.
(Top pool of seeds being 118, NP, KIH, RAW, REW and FIXED).
Instead you get 1 more second seed , so you may have another winner in your group but no top seeded team.
If you would have lost showing a decent perfomance you still would have been in the first poule which wouldnt have necissarily changed anything.
i dont get what ur talkin about :/
hmm bit long week no?
pm!
