In the interest of competition, a seeding system was used to create the first round brackets, which has presented us with some interesting match-ups.

Predictably, Na'Vi take the top seed, and following them are the recently sponsored Absolute Legends (formerly Natural 9), and then the star-studded squads of Evil Geniuses and eXperience in second, third and fourth respectively.
Going up against them and the numerous other big names in the tournament will be the unproven talents of teams such as Monoesports, Keita-Gaming and Visualize Your Enmity.
However, with the majority of the teams participating next weekend having recently found sponsors for themselves, there is obviously faith in their potential, and potential for upsets.
GosuGamers will be adding full Gosubet coverage for the tournament as it progresses, so don't forget to place your bets. Tune in this Saturday, January 28th, when the action gets underway from 14:00 CET, with Luminous and TobiWan set to shoutcast a selection of the first day's games.
