Its been a long journey for Australia's very own Sequential Gaming who have traveled to the far reaches of the world to (Chengdu, China) to play in the World Cyber Games grand final.
The Sequential team comprises of a powerhouse lineup of strong Australian cs1.6 talent; apoc, diggiTy, pupajoN, Rumil, soren, have all won many national comps and were no surprise to take outover recent DiceVIP winners V300 (c0ke, jairs, kram, nameci, oxey).

"Millenium, 4glory & AEON are all unheard of international teams" Excuse me? Anyway - sqL were in the group of death, mTw, PG and VP? No thanks. They came third and I think everyone in Aus is proud of them for that. Anyway - fnatic v AGAiN for the grand final, gonna be awesome |

If you cant get out of group stages vsing good recognised teams you dont deserve to be in the finals lol. No need to have a cry cause Australia always gets put in shit groups. If the teams were truely good enough they would beat those teams and progress. |

I know people complain about the draws and yeah both iM and SQL have had some tough groups, but in the end a team only goes there to win. If you cannot beat tier1 teams in groups you have played your equivalent of the finals and lost. Getting a better draw and winning groups just puts the same team against you in the finals, id rather see the real top teams in the finals instead of groups eliminating top 4 teams as they all get stuck in the same group because of expected skill v skill matchups. |

Australia do amazingly well for how shit there practise conditions are for these international events. Shit Net, Shit teams to scrim against. and i think Millenium would of crushed Sql like they crushed h2k |

And actually Tony you're right, the NZ group last year was a nightmare. I'd like to say we should get those kind of breaks, but Aussie teams have been so close in so many group stages and just failing to take that final step over the line. |

Since when were Millenium unheard of? They finished 3rd at Dreamhack for god's sake. |

WCG has never had seedings. Even if they did seed teams SQL would not have seeded well. The NZ boys caught a break - they had an epic group last year. Good luck to them on their next round however I think they'll be in for a rude awakening. |

Good comments, totally agree, Apologies about ranting about the topic, got abit grumpy though the SQL boys did do a fantastic job. Was a good few games to watch, AGAiN did a super job topping fnatic. I just hope that a few more big events next year will give Aussies the extra experience to topple a few of the big guns like Immunity did at ESWC. |
