Hi, this is my first blog hltv.org. In this blog it comes to Event which will be held on 19 January. Where participants are:
Mouz
Natus Vincere
WinFakt
MoscowFive
DTS
Lions
SK
Fnatic


Group A:
Lions / zneel / THREAT / niko / kHRYSTAL / FYR773 /
DTS / hoochR / ANGE1 / xaos / pops / kucher /
Natus Vincere / Starix / ceh9 / Edward / markeloff / zeus /
SK-Gaming / RobbaN / f0rest / GeT_RiGhT / face / delpan /

LiONS: first I had a very bad opinion for a bad game for the lions, but that change only over 2 tournaments , where one was played without moddi that replace THREAT (IEM 6 GC QUALS), which I believe did not play due to commitments. DreamHack, where lions tournament play proved the decade, but lost to fnatic team, with minimum 2: 1 in the final. If this game back on this tournament as the DreamHack then no doubt would have gone without groups that game would certainly have gone home with a victory, a victory that will stand out against the team of DTS, and two lost, one of Natus Vincere , In another lost team SK-Gaming

DTS: for them this year did not start so well, lost craft1k that was best in their team, but it remained shorter, brought hoochR the Russian crew Virtus.pro recently attended the WC - Games. I'm sure hoochR can not replace craft1k DTS team in such a short time, so I think to this Event hoochR not fit. So DTS will finished in last place with three lost.

Natus Vincere: Unlike 2010, 2011 Natus Vincere played quite variable, where he lost a lot finals (SEC, ESWC), semifinals lost quite matches (E-STARS SeouL, DreamHack SummeR, DreamHack Winter, GameGune). Let's hope the fans of the team that in 2011 the variable year will be repeated this year Natus Vincere will repeat the excellent 2010. Natus Vincere in this group has one purpose, to avenge the defeat lions for DreamHack, who has dealt in half sword that tournament while Natus Vincere will try not to let their hottest rivals SK not to retaliate for most defeats that dealt him last year. Natus Vincere finished in second place with 2 wins and one defeat (by team SK-Gaming)

SK Gaming: SK-gaming in 2011 has always played very well, but always had an obstacle called Esc. Fortunately this time the tournament that this obstacle will not attend, SK which eliminates the 3 most important tournaments (the WC-Games in Korea in the finals, the finals of the Xperia play, the final of the e-STAR Seoul). If that barrier is gone, another appears, called Natus Vincere which recently eliminated a few tournaments early on that the SEC, but now this candle can be repaired. So hopefully I will SK flood of Natus Vincere in this part of the play. SK will finish first place in three every beat.


Group B:

fnatic / pita / Xizt / Gux / Carnage / Friis /
WinFakt / allu / H ^ N / BASiC / Aslak / Lurppis /
Mouz / Karrigan / zonic / zonixx / roman / gob B /
MoscowFive/ROMJKE/ED1K/Dosia/Fox/XEK /

Fnatic: After finding the best possible line up, after the departure of Get right i f0rest, Carn find a way to come to the best awpers and aimers as Xizt (h2k comes from), Gux (Comes from LIONS), PITAA (coming from RAGE) , delpan comes from MYM, Friis (replaces the dsn, who is retired). Carn has made great team that won the GC in Guangsu, DreamHack in Sweden, and IEM5 European ChampionShip. Lost in the finals of the MSi BEAT iT Russia team MoscowFive. Now you have the opportunity to avenge the defeat in the final of this competition. For this group has no statistics on who will finish where, as in this group are all competing teams that I love.

WinFakt: I have a special love for this team, I agree with the decision of Lurrpis as captain, to bring excellent sniper and H ^ N aimer, and more great awper allu. WinFakt not rank the big teams, but it keeps well, IEM6 GC QUALS Kiev Stage 3 are defeated LIONS, SK-gaming and other teams. Winfakt won the tournament held in Tallin, the capital of Estonia, with victory over Animus gaming 3-2 in maps. As I have no statistics on this group, anyone can beat anyone and everyone can sneak into the next phase. So hopefully WinFakt will do it.

Mouz :mouz is now a great team, with the adoption of zonic, I think they made the right decision, which will certainly affect the team. Team mouz played perfectly in the past tournaments, won third place at ESWC, which means a lot to me also won 2nd place on gc held in the Chinese city of guangzhou. There are some flaws in the team (no players) will hopefully correct, it will go on the road to victory, and for a major upset in Kiev

MoscowFive : M5 is really good last time . They show us really amazing game . They won 3rd place of WCG , where they beat NEXT from Kazahstan . They win also 1st place in FBOTY tournament which held in Russia , win MSI Beat Russia over fnatic in final . I hope M5 will not allow fnatic to take revenge for the defeat which dealt him the final of the Russian IT Beat.

I think that this tournament will see many good matches, collected the best eight teams in an event (with the exception of team ESC). So then stay and followed by hltv.org
