insidiae published 16 invites for the upcoming cup

The Dutch based organisation that ceased to exist some time ago (insidiae) has today fulfilled the promise about not push the breaks for the insidiae SteelSeries E-S.se cup and announced 16 teams that will be invited to the cup. These teams were picked by taking a look at their past LAN performances and by estimating how much potential do they have. Also, they won't be placed in the playoff tree as was done last time, they will receive a high seed and will be put in to one of the 16 groups.

About the cup itself, it will be played using the latest version of promod (which is 3.0) with max rounds set to 12. As said there will be 16 groups with each holding four teams and the two best teams will advance to the single elimination playoff bracket. The groups will be announced on 25th of September.

Here are the 16 invited teams:

1. Reason-Gaming
2. ButtonBashers
3. Team Dignitas
4. fnatic
5. Team Infused
6. jPP
7. eSuba.HAL3000
8. Team Logitech.fi
9. Team Sypher
10. Team SPEED-LINK CoD
11. Necroraisers
