The seeding for this weekend’s Warcraft III: Defence of the Ancients
(DotA) Cup have been released. The seeding will place teams for the double elimination tournament ensuring that the top teams do not meet in the first round.
Ben Greenwood, AGASA tournament director, says MiNt, who beat Bravado in the January Cup, claim first place; while tankh, mmK, Ftc and Pantheon make up the top six seeds.
“However, the seeds do not take into account the teams which won't be playing in the February cup. Tankh, for example, has not registered to play this weekend. After this tournament they will therefore drop down the rankings for March.
“Similarly, there are a number of teams who registered for the first time, excluding other teams. They will be seeded at the bottom and as teams play more matches, so the ranking system will become more accurate,” he says.

| Nicely done guys, hopefully this can be used as an official seeding system for big LAN comps as well. :> | ||||||||
| Yes Gridlock. That is indeed the plan. Should AGASA hold any DotA LAN comps, which is something that is being looked at for this year, then the teams will be seeded according to the DotA cup competition. | ||||||||
