The final playday of the group stages finished earlier today, where we saw SK Sweden beat the 4Kings team, and Virtus.pro win over Team NoA. Virtus.pro were not able to win by a big enough margin to be able to advance to the next stages, and thus have been knocked out of the competition along with the other eliminated teams - NoA, SK and 4Kings. For the remaining four teams, the $70,000 first place prize is still in sight. The semi finals will take place tomorrow (Sunday) where we'll be seeing an Asian clash (a re-match of last season's grand final) between wNv and Hacker.Project, and a battle of two great forces with compLexity playing Catch-Gamer. Hacker.Project narrowly made past the group stages, but have shown that they're still not to be reckoned with after beating compLexity 2:1 on Thursday. Although the Korean team lost on de_dust2 against the American's, they showed that dust2 is not the only map they're good on - beating coL 16:14 on de_train, and 16:08 on de_inferno. The wNv team are definitely a strong team, but unlike last season they have actually lost a few maps during the group stages - which could give the Hacker.Project guys a lot more motivation when going into this game. The match is scheduled to begin at 07:00 CET tomorrow (Sunday), and is set to be a great game! Good luck guys! The second semi-final which will be played tomorrow is between America's number one - compLexity, and Norway's top team Catch-Gamer. Both have showed immense skill so far in the tournament, and this match will definitely bring out some more of that. Both teams have lost one match in the recent group stages, so they are certainly not unbeatable. It's probably going to be an extremely close game right throughout, but nevertheless may the best team win! It is scheduled to start shortly after the wNv vs Hacker.Project game tomorrow. Good luck to all teams playing in the semi-finals! *Update* The maps for both of the semi-final matches have now been announced, and can be found below in with the match information. *Update* The www.esport.org website is down again, but www.weglive.com have written a guide which will allow you to watch the English esport.org stream through Windows Media Player. The guide can be found here. Video Streams There are a number of free streams that will broadcast the WEG matches live. Most of them however will have foreign (Chinese or Korean) shoutcasters, the only exception being www.esport.org - which is shoutcasted in English. A list of all streams can be found in this forum thread. But it is recommended that www.esport.org is used. Scorebots As you probably know there is no HLTV for the WEG events. The only two forms of live coverage we can use are streams, and scorebots. The scorebot channel on the QuakeNet IRC network is #weg.live - which will usually provide live scores for all WEG CS matches. Final Standings 01. TBD - $70,000 02. TBD - $20,000 03. TBD - $8,000 04.
