News
The groups have been drawn at random, much like the FIFA lottery system. Each group has one team from each seeding pool. In other words, each group has one top seed, one high seed, one mid seed and one low seed. The only exception to this rule is the two extra low seeds which were added to two randomly picked groups.

Update: Technical problems have been resolved, start scheduling & playing your matches!
Tournament schedule
The first match week kicks off today. There is NO space for any delays! Schedule and play your matches in time otherwise your team will get a default loss! Forced date of each match is each week's Sunday at 21:00 CET, only if no team reacts to the protest opened before.For the two groups that have five teams: Your fourth match will have to be played during the backup week, along with pending matches that got delayed.
All first, second, third and fourth placed teams create an 8-team playoff bracket on their own. This is played in a 1day cup on the 21st of February. That's why it is crucial that you perform to the best of your abilities during the groupstage. Ending second instead of first in your group results in dropping to the second playoff tree, and therefore only being able to obtain the ninth seed at best!
Rules for the playoff 1day cups are still to come.
Rules
Make sure you have read the rules and guidelines:- General ESL ET Rules apply, which means everyone needs to have his guids up-to-date.
- As this is the seeding tournament for a LAN event we allow teams to play without PB only if both teams agree.
- Modus: Best of Three, free decider choice after cointoss by elimination of the mappool maps.
- Wrong PB Guid: 0:2 Defloss
- Failure to appear: Wait 20 minutes and inform an admin
- All Rules can be found here in detail.
Mappool
The mappool for the seeding tournament is fixed, but the CIC7 mappool is still subject to change (although it won't change much from the seeding tournament mappool).Supply, sw_Goldrush_te, Radar, Braundorf_b4, Frostbite

Placeholder teams however are for teams that signed up for CIC7, but didn't make an ESL team yet. As soon as they make such a team, they will take the place of the placeholder teams. Watch this newsitem to see who the placeholder should be.
still don't get how the seedings will help us get a better place at lan?
so be the high/top team of the group or gtfo.
still think we got one of the thoughest groups (for a low tier clan)
Read everything next time :p
e: single elimination right?
If by Wednesday the "trusted" teams can't provide proof of payment, or the teams that did provide proof of payment already, but if we didn't receive the money by then, the teams on the waiting list will get 24 hours to provide us with proof of payment. The first in the list will get first chance of course. They then have to do their matches in the weekend, or asap.
+ you got more teams playing
+ you can create such qualifiers that would give you good amount of clans in groupstage in order to make a simple playoff tree
+ you won't receive any complaints from waiting list teams
+ when clans seek a gaming, they can show superb numbers regarding CIC7
+ you won't kick decent teams out of the cup - more decent players -> better event -> better chance of bringing other mgc on ET scene
and so on:)
A Qualifier for the groupstage on lan, so if you will lose that game you arent going to the groupstage and then you only played 1 match on lan?
Like a team would pay 250 euro (+ hotel etc ) for that, i dont think so.

ah wait..
Groups were drawn by a lottery system, so there's no way we could predict or influence the outcome.
Dont come with excuses we cant please everyone its already fixed blabla its the best decision just get it over with. You're seriously making me consider removing my buddylist here!
(I know you will pick the first clan from the waiting list first, but dunno wich clan that is so it could be that team)
nOu is cheating!
blight vs phantom will be good match
oh wait..
