CPH Games groups announced

12/4/2014 - 22:36

Copenhagen Games have announced the opening group for its 26,000€ tournament set to kick off on Wednesday in Denmark's capital.

A total of 58 teams have completed the registration for the tournament in time, leading to fifteen groups in total, thirteen of which have four teams and two with just three.

The group stage will be played out using the GSL format, so the top two seeds in NiP and Titan will receive a win in the opening round, and only need one win to advance to playoffs.

Will NiP be able to defend their title in Denmark?

The top two finishers in each group will advance to the playoffs of the A tournament, while the other teams will be placed in a separate B tournament, as was the case last year.

The seeds for the groups were decided in cooperation between Copenhagen Games and HLTV.org.

You can find the full groups below, and each group's schedule and match-ups are available on Copenhagen Games' tournament page. All lineups can be found on the participants list.

"Maybe americans starts to invade America huh?" Well there *was* just an armed confrontation in Nevada.

2014-04-14 17:36

Where are Americans (coL and iBP) and where the fuck is Na'Vi and HellRaisers?

Both Americans just made roster changes. They definitely won't be flying to Europe when they don't even have strats yet. Both teams are currently working on building a strong default and building up team chemistry. You won't see them in Europe until after ESEA LAN.

H2k >

2014-04-12 22:39

GSL format gets really weird when it comes to 3 teams. Their first match will only be a worth a chance to take a beating by NiP/Titan.

This site says that raalz is playing for 3DMAX, not nille. Is this true?

2014-04-13 15:07

Yes.

2014-04-13 15:15

Didn't he quit and Nille joined instead ?

2014-04-14 09:21

This is an international site, English only please. Thank you.

2014-04-12 22:46

It's not when he talks you should be worried about, it's when he's silent. The HLTV Bot never sleeps.

2014-04-12 22:40

Yeah, and they'll be first !

lol

2014-04-13 13:35

14 is stacked

+1 no other team really has more than 2 similarly matched teams.

2014-04-12 22:55

kimi- (o_O)7 ps: Raise your habaBiceps (^-^)

2014-04-12 23:55

Pansy Hippo :D Also I would go ahead and guess that only 1 team leaves the group stage ?

2014-04-12 22:45

Actually, our team name is "Pansy Hippo Allianz" :(

2014-04-13 02:34

Didn't know i'm a team.

Honestly they should just let group A and B to play in a normal group stage format. NiP and Titan should play 2 matches just like VP, fnatic and the others. Sure they are probably easy matches but it helps them get used to the tournament site and warm-up for playoffs.

ex-Courage canceled?

gogogo avenue, show chrisJ that the german scene is worthless

by the way, I hope csgolounge will fix all their problems before the tournament starts...

+1 they really need to do this, i highly doubt it tho..

2014-04-14 06:38

Dignitas win CPH Games 2014.

group stage matches are going to be boring

Surprise, surprise. No Courage.

Courage dropped their team, the players might not want to pay everything themselves.

2014-04-13 00:00

This is new CPL hehehehe nice

2014-04-12 22:51

2014-04-12 23:03

It's gonna be so fucking boring :| can you please play early and then the best matches after? thanks =D btw NiP over Titan/Dignitas

titan seed 2 ok np

1st place: Dignitas 2nd place: Virtus.Pro 3rd place: Titan 4th place: NiP 5-8th place: fnatic, LDLC, LGB, 3DMAX ez tournament ez skins ez life

Can you change rize to rizeGaming please? :)

Im looking forward to see NiP! :)

"Bet, kinder, bet, morgen kommt der Schwed!"

2014-04-13 02:36

group 14 :D

2014-04-12 22:54

ye buddy!

There is no chance for Danish teams... It will be easy for: NiP, Titan, VP, fnatic, dignitas, LGB, LDLC etc. win group stage, there is no way how to beat them with Danish teams. I dont know why is there so many teams... And VP got it!:3

2014-04-12 22:56

No Titan will fail...

2014-04-13 06:08

It's the biggest lan tournament in Denmark and we have a pretty massive scene, there is usually always a lot of teams going there, not that they expect to beat any of the big teams or win the tournament, but atleast have a shot. Danish scene have always been supportive of danish lans, if not competitively then it's to have fun and meet eachother and hang out as mostly 99% of them know eachother / are close.

2014-04-13 12:35

You do know that Dignitas is a danish team aswell right? so what you said is that danish teams wont win, but 1 danish team does have a big chance of winning? :3

2014-04-13 13:17

Of course that i know that Dignitas is Danish team, they have big chance to win. I mean other Danish team, of course that Dignitas will have big chance to win it, specialy at homeland:)

2014-04-13 18:39

extremly pointless to watch groupstage

i plan to go fishing. friday 14pm for the playoffs

2014-04-12 23:05

can someone explain me the playoffs ? 15 x 2 = 30 teams for a bracket of 32 teams ? so, nip and titan ( seed 1 + 2 )(if they finish first of their group) still have a favor in the bracket ?

2014-04-12 22:58

6 replies

That is correct :)

2014-04-12 23:02

Why is it single elemination in bracket?

2014-04-13 20:35

to get bo3 matches, and for at better final with bo3, unlike the normal bo2 way, which last year ended 16-2 in favor of NiP, boring final

2014-04-13 22:18

thats why events use bo5 now a days

2014-04-13 22:53

Havent that only been online ? but you still get bo1 in group, and the first playoff matches :).

2014-04-13 22:56

true, I just find single elemination stupid

2014-04-14 00:42

interesting groups : 6,11,15

2014-04-12 23:01

To make sure the danish topteams(dig, [R], 3D) make it to playoff, they have received easypezy groups :DDDDDD

2014-04-12 23:08

althought the french top team is with eSpuma. not even to talk about VP, NiP, LDLC, Fnatic, mousesports, h2k and more

2014-04-13 08:59

Dreamteam?:)

CopenhagenGames was better last year. no double elimination this year =(

2014-04-12 23:10

+1 Best thing about CPH was the amount of games you got to play

I agree here, a big bummer by CPH Games....

2014-04-12 23:58

No wizards at the end. Sad.

2014-04-12 23:11

No HR/NaVi/Courage or any Pakistan team -.- CPH got boooring :(

Don't need hellraiser got necroraiser

2014-04-12 23:13

No Na`Vi, no HR?! CPH GAMES=SHIT

2014-04-13 03:07

The original Na'Vi lineup (with Markeloff) had problems with CPH admins. CPH games cleared that Na'Vi and HR were both invited to play but they decided not to come.

2014-04-13 08:12

I know the whole story.

2014-04-13 13:12

good for you.

2014-04-14 09:13

U dot it wrong mate. Navi and HR = SHIT

2014-04-13 11:02

CPH games SHIT. All danish teams is a joke, low SHITS.

2014-04-13 11:47

good luck NecroRaisers pyčo!

2014-04-13 11:59

These groupsa are a little unfair. most of the groups you already know who is going to win.

2014-04-13 12:00

Most group stages at tournaments like this end up this way :p

2014-04-13 13:14

9-15 pretty open if you ask me :)

2014-04-13 13:18

a lot of danish and swedish teams to get raped by titan, not even worth watching

2014-04-13 12:18

lets see actually french teams are the biggest onliners :d

Group 13 is definitely the hardest one to advance from. Good luck to all attendees!

2014-04-13 14:31

NiP wins, dignitas second, LGB third. Titan loses in first round if playoffs.

2014-04-13 15:09

a tournament without hellraisers, navi and americans cant be considers a major one. an ems one major at least

2014-04-13 15:14

Single elimination when you have 2 whole days to complete a double elimination, great ..... :)

2014-04-13 15:23

+1 I liked the old system with Bo3 upper nad Bo1 in lower.

2014-04-13 16:19

Make it double elimination....
