Update: 
Immunity's first game will be 8:30PM AEST, Saturday
Australia's own Immunity are set to play at the KODE5 Global Finals tomorow in Moscow, Saturday 9th May. After the controversy surrounding the un-seeded competition on the previous weekend, ESWC Masters, it was rumoured that KODE5 would do likewise. These rumours about not having seeds were crushed, however further issues were raised about the format of the competition that KODE5 chose to do; A single-elimination best-of-3 - meaning no group stages would be played. You lose; you're out.
While the best team on the day will always win regardless of format, it will largely come down to luck as to the remaining placings. These concerns were addressed by 
approx from Alternate in this interview on www.sk-gaming.com where he stated "We all think [that] at the end of the tournament [there won't be] the best teams in the top5, of course the first placed team will be the best of all but the rest 2nd and 3rd are depending on the luck of the draw at beginning and if you have bad luck with the cointoss in the map decision as well, you might be not [in] the top5". He also went on to say that "We all like the double-elemination system. In this system the best two teams are surely in the final" - an opinion that would surely be shared by large amongst the competitive community.
The following are the seedings for the top 8 teams, which were announced on KODE5's live stream at 4:00am this morning:

www.dicevip.com will be closely following and covering Immunity's run at the upcoming KODE5 Global Finals in Moscow, so stay tuned for further coverage and updates!
Check out page 2 for some photos of the venue of this year's KODE5 Global Finals!
It would be cool too see a bo3 double elim, but it'll wear players out too much.
GL Immunity :D
will be cheering for every frag and round you get!!!!
really hoping for an upset =D
yerpyerp, fnatic2g :>
but I don't think eg will take SK to 2 maps
and I hope immunity > attax
why do Germany have 2 representatives anyway?
sweden have 2 because sk won the sweden qualifier and fnatic won the kode5 thing last year giving them an auto to this
any team can attend any countries qualifier so all the good teams just go to whatever
teams like mTw knew that the denmark qual was pretty much they very last (bar the russian one) so mTw took the safe route and went to the spain qualifier that was earlier - where roccat & DTS also went for similar reasons. mousesports went to the sweden qual as a 2nd chance (i said it was spain one above i got teams mixed up).
mTw won the spain qual, and SK won the sweden qual over mousesports, so mouz then went to the denmark qual as a last (3rd) chance where they won quite easily without mTw (or any other top10 teams) in attendance.
SK quald @ sweden qual
fnatic quald @ completely seperate comp ages back
alternate quald @ german qual
mTw quald @ spain qual
mouz quald @ denmark qual (which was the 3rd qualifier they attended)
imo pretty funny to note that no spain team came top3 at the spain qual lol (mtw/crackclan/dts top3)
