Playoffs underway in Porto
By: Nix0n
Time: 2012-05-27 01:45
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

The time has come for the playoffs in the 4,000€ xfunction Fraglider Cup by CJM taking place in Porto, Portugal.

Friday and Saturday has featured the group stage, where top two placed teams in each group was secured further advancement in the tournament. To fill out the bracket, four teams ranked third, but with the better round difference also made it to the playoffs.
 

All of the favorites advanced just as expected, to the best-of-three maps single-elimination bracket. The teams going head-to-head in the first round are:

 semXorah vs.  exotic
 x6tence vs.  energiE5
 PTO-Gaming vs.  zNation
 eQuilibrium vs.  Phantoms
 IMBA vs.  Pandorum 2-0
 k1ck vs.  HardStyle 2-0
 x-function vs.  madjick 1-2
 OverFuzioN vs.  NorthernGrade 0-2

As you might have noticed, four of the round of 16 matches have already been played, the remainder of the tournament will be played Sunday, starting at 11:00.

Due to internet difficulties at the venue, the first two days of the tournament had very little HLTV and stream coverage. There is a chance this will change for the third and final day. The tournament stream can be found by clicking here and we will keep you posted should HLTV become available.
 

To stay updated with who is winning and who is out, head on over to the tournament bracket, find it by clicking here.

Make sure to drop by HLTV.org Sunday to find out who will be the winner of the 3,000€ first place prize up for grabs at the xfunction Fraglider Cup by CJM.

I dont know, we'll have to wait and see.
2012-05-27 02:42:54
So??
sry to bother u but there will be no HLTV ips ?
2012-05-27 15:14:09
mch + wln = gg sem xorah :)
2012-05-27 01:56:02
+ atx = gg k1ck
2012-05-27 02:00:11
let's see. in the first game semXorah were losing 10-0 against OverFuzion which aren't such a good team around here. seXorah won 16-11 but still. :o
2012-05-27 02:01:56
i don't think losing 10 rounds means a lot. i see that as a good thing for sX - it was their first match, they were 0-10 and still managed to win 16-11.
2012-05-27 02:04:25
atx is worse than xisco, so no chance for sX
2012-05-27 02:10:54
actually of surprised putting 13 rounds to ng
2012-05-27 02:23:34

2012-05-27 15:09:49
Well, let's see how they fare vs znation!
Any HLTV ips, by the way?
2012-05-27 15:24:18

2012-05-27 02:17:08
gl IMBA and sX!
2012-05-27 02:19:23
k1ck easy.
2012-05-27 02:21:45
why brazilians are rating so high sX, thinking that they can win , k1ck fucked up pain that was top2 brazilian team, why these guys can take this? i really hope to see tomorrow potti doing good performance vs k1ck, even if he loose
2012-05-27 02:22:53
It's called patriotism, same thing happens every time K1ck attends an international event.
2012-05-27 02:48:58
patriotism is a serious thing, dont joke about it..
2012-05-27 03:00:35
he isn't joking lol
sX is good ,compared to k1ck :)
2012-05-27 12:08:00
patriotism has nothing to do with supporting some teams, only because they are like from our country! most of the woman around here say we have to support the other football teams from our country against foreign teams, and they say thats PATRIOTISM, which is pathetic!! patriotism is a very serious thing to me, and it has nothing to do with some games.. :)
2012-05-27 12:22:23
Patriotism has nothing to do with supporting some teams, only because they are like from our country? So when you have a portuguese team in an international event, you support a brazilian team per example?
Then, i say you must be stupid.

2012-05-27 12:35:28
stupid is in a week cheering for Benfica to lose and in the other week, just because they are playing vs some foreign team support Benfica!! Thats what stupidness is all about!
2012-05-27 16:43:09
It's your opinion, but I doubt people from Portugal would support k1ck that much if they were French for example. :)
patriotism is loving and supporting everything that comes from your country ( often ppl support also bad things, like war propaganda etc..)
2012-05-27 13:34:15
thats what the fascist system was all about!
2012-05-27 16:44:15
So, what's patriotism in your opinion? Since you take that word very seriously.
2012-05-27 15:38:11
patriotism isnt supporting some team just because they are portuguese! i couldnt care less, its a game, may the best win! patriotism is protecting ur COUNTRY, its working, its paying ur taxes, its not cheating in ur IRS, its not scamming the government with false medical notes etc etc its creating a good environment for ur children to live! thats patriotism to me, not supporting a portuguese team against foreign teams..
2012-05-27 16:50:23
The definition of patriotism is to love, support and be proud of your country, whether it's about politics, football or gaming. Your definition doesn't excludes ours.
2012-05-27 18:04:45
lol dude ur not supporting ur country if u support k1ck! when Portugal plays i totally cheer for them, doesnt matter the sport or e-sport! but that is not the case! i love my country and i support my country, but that doesnt mean i have to cheer blindly for any portuguese guy...
dont even get me started on politics!
2012-05-27 18:26:17
Patriotism is a virtue of the vicious.
2012-05-27 16:23:02
dont really know what u meant by that, but ok ...
2012-05-27 16:50:42
It's an old quote from Oscar Wilde, I just felt like posting it because of all this patriotism talk. :) not trying to offend.
2012-05-27 16:56:08
i know :)
2012-05-27 17:01:48
Lol cool.
2012-05-27 17:09:02
whats really America like bro? :)
2012-05-27 17:22:17
Its like Mexico and Africa, atleast from where I live. It'll be like that in 95% of america in 100 years.
2012-05-27 18:38:28
so? who cares? most of them will be working at the US Army so, its good for u :)
2012-05-27 18:48:22
It's nothing special I guess. Where I live (Las Vegas) it's pretty dirty for the most part. Everyone smokes cigarettes including me. We're one of the fattest cities. Luckily we still have plenty of good looking women but many ugly ones too. The people are generally smart yet the education is low with a very high drop out rate. I don't really like living here (the strip is quite fun at night.) as many people who live in Vegas will tell you, "Great place to visit, terrible place to live." I'm going to move to California when I can afford the high cost of living. I should write a blog, lol.
2012-05-27 20:17:21
actually, we dont think that SX will win this.
theres only 2 good players on line up : mch and fbm
1 med: wln
2 low: felippe and atx

every time semxorah go to one of these international events, the brazillians Esports websites-forums becomes a hate-on-semxorah troll forum, really annoying.
2012-05-27 02:59:55
Why? Can't we cheer for our country?? Can't we believe them?? Wouldn't you do the same if, for example, K1ck was attending a tournament outside Portugal??

It's patriotism, we cheer for our country's team, you cheer for yours.
2012-05-27 03:13:36
rating sX so high? most of us know that sX sucks and they probably won't win it.

about those actually rating them high, well, is patriotism really surprising for you?

internet problems on an e-sport event 2012... really?
2012-05-27 03:10:46
#38 think zon ( ISP ) canceled the sponsor w/ the event,so they find a ISP to provide the internet.

so far great event,k1ck win this for sure ;)
2012-05-27 03:32:15
#38

their internet sponsor broke up the deal they had one day before the tournament started and there's also a problem with the place they have chosen because i think they cant open the firewall over there so they can't get hltv's

thats why they made a big effort to stream every games they could :)

in portugal this type of shits (unfortunely for not only the gamers but also the organizers) happens

Some info's:

sX is weak, but there`s no SK, fnatic, ESC, NaVi, M5, WinFakt, eSrael ( Impossible teams to beat ), so they still have a chance to take this tournament, and tbh I think theyre better than ICSU and zNation, I just dont know if they can won versus K1CK and x6tence :)
2012-05-27 08:56:59

can someone say Portugal's top4-6 teams ?
2012-05-27 10:03:35
almost impossible , portugal cs have been developing a lot this year , and all teams can face each other without favourtism, cuz of that its hard to define top4 or 6, but i will go for xfunction , pto , equilibrium (no order)

i don't see why semxorah gets to travel to portugal, for a chance at 4,000 euros for first place.. who sponsored their flight and lodging? I really want to see team Need Sponsor (b2b) play euro teams.

There's a festival called Rock In Rio at the same time of the tournament, maybe they were already planning on coming to that festival
