EUeSports have our own Seeding Tournament underway in preparation for
ECL consisting of the 8 confirmed teams for the event. This is the first
update of how things stand at the moment within the seeding tournament.
Below is the current standings which are subject to change at any time
depending on results coming in thick and fast as time is precious now
with such little time until the actual event.

The format for our table here is very simple. GP = Games Played, W =
Wins, L = Losses, RD = Round Difference. Teams will be awarded 3 points
for a win and 1 point for a loss, If for whatever reason a team does not
turn up for a game they will then receive no points.



We have witnessed some cracking games already within the seeding
tournament. A few 3-0 thrashings along with some tense 3-2 thrillers,
going right to very end. Starry and Phil have been putting some shifts
into the EUeSports Youtube channel with some highlights from the games
so far. Below I have included some links to the match reports along with
some of the highlights of games so far.
