The countdown to the European Gaming League's 5th event is fully underway with just a few days remaining until doors open at the Norbeck Castle Hotel in Blackpool. The MW3 Xbox tournament alone will play host to around 80 teams as well as competitions for Halo Reach, Gears of War and MW3 on PS3. New information was released by EGL yesterday evening including a revised list of team seedings, showing that EGL has been listening to the community's suggestions and is striving to assign the most accurate seedings possible. Check out the important information if you are attending HERE. *Updates* EGL now sponsored by Doritos for Blackpool event, info on that HERE. The EGL event schedule has also been released, find that HERE. This bracket someone created under the title "EGL5 Seeds" is incorrect.

So how where these seeds thought up? A little strange that teams that haven't even been to events and have done shit online are placed so high and some teams that have been to events and won games haven't even been seeded.
I know a fair amount of people are going to complain at various different seedings, however you really have to appreciate that it's an almost impossible task for the EGL admin team to make seedings that are 100% accurate. The sheer amount of teams attending and the element of unknown really does make it tough. So please those who are complaining about seeds, do it in a respectful way, no one deserves to receive abuse.
i said to him you meant that aswell then the guy writes that making us look dogshit *Facepalm* get out me sight
If the seedings are wrong, it gives you a chance to exceed your seeding or of course have a bad LAN and drop down. They're seedings to spread out the competition over the brackets, they're not predictions at the end of the day.
based on opinion for the last time rusty bollocks, G8 are clearly better than most if not all team behind them
G8 aren't who i'm complaining about they deserve that seed but why are some teams that have literally done nothing but scrim been seeded higher than people who have attended events before, moon face.
Why are you even trying to start an argument? Do you even play anymore? I'm not saying my team should be seeded higher what i'm saying is teams that have actually attended should be at least seeded.
