The Global Challenge in Los Angeles is only two days away and the groups for the Counter-Strike tournament have been drawn. Even though the groups look even, you don't know what to expect from the American teams yet.A total of 16 teams were able to sign up for the event and therefor four groups with each four teams have been drawn earlier today. The top two teams of each group advance to the playoffs which will also be played in Best-of-One.
A few teams dropped out before so replacements have been taken in but being American teams they should be prepared as the Extreme Masters Main Round already started. You can see the groups below.
Group A
fnatic
x3o
Frag Dominant
Team Guardians
Group B
SK Gaming
Team EG.USA
50 Calibre Gaming
Revolution Sports
Group C

gl all, specially SK & MYM ^^
GROUP A: x3o wins this group unless fnatic shows up extremely prepared. fnatics poor play in WCG and other past events will effect them unless they forget the past and contest one of the top american teams x3o.
My Prediction: x3o vs fnatic will be the key match to who wins this group. 1st fnatic. 2nd x3o. unless fnatic plays bad fnatic should win this group.
GROUP B: EG.USA and SK Gaming will be the top teams in this group. If sk plays like they did vs evilzone i do not think they will win. But if sk bounces back and plays great this should be easy for them. If n0thing shows up playing good, sk will then have problems. It will come down to a close battle: SK-Gaming Vs EG.USA. I Predict SK comes in 1st in group B EG.USA comes in 2nd
GROUP C: mTw wins this group by far. maybe the close match will be vs roccat but mTw will win GROUP C. POV and vio dont really have a chance unless POV gets lucky over one of the teams. The only way mTw will not win this group is if they underestimate roccat and POV's skill.
My Prediction: mTw wins this group by far. mTw wins 1st in GROUP C. roccat wins 2nd.
GROUP D: MYM i think will come up on top in this group. it might be something good on mibr and MYM match but i still think with MYM's skill they got this.
My Prediction: Key Match MYM vs MiBr in group play. MYM wins very close. MYM 1st. MiBr 2nd.
:DD
SK got back on top again. Atleast, what I've seen from the latest couple of matches.
