Group C seems pretty clear cut to me and this group is all about the NSW fight for supremacy at this event. With ZK-Gaming, Exile5 and Archaic all coming from the Blue State (who by the way are down 1-0 in State of Origin again) this rivalry should drive these teams into some hard fought contests.

Group C

Archaic on paper will surely prevail as the number one finishing team in this group and by the looks of the group the lineup that Exile5 have put down looks to be too strong for the other teams to compete with.

That being said I have personally felt the wrath of Evil Monkeys team on fire and a dippa nationals team wil the help of old school professional "myz" an upset could be closer than I think.

Team "Taking Incuban To A Nationals" (Titan) have achieved their goals before the games even start on Saturday afternoon. With almost 50 years of counter-strike between the players in this team, anything is possible as Brisbane's best up and comers since 2001 come to the table. With more years of CS between them than hous played this forgnight never count these guys out.

If Exile5 have their wits about them on Saturday afternoon they should be able to deal with the threat of these other teams and perhaps shake up Archaic and get some great momentum going into day 2.

This group should provide great spectating as the likes of Apoc, myz, ferg, conz, dippa and jatz go head to head.
