Digital Games brackets: Second round underway!

After a tumultuous first round of bracket play in the Digital Games, things are falling into place for the second round.

In Counter-Strike: 1.6 Europe, first-seeded emulate look to drop #16 peXg.young.cs, while #2 neP face off against #15 LowLandLions.cs. emulate are already world champions in a different tournament, so it should come as no surprise that they are heavily favored to have their way with this bracket. We will see, however, if a lower seed can upset them.

The North American Call of Duty 4 PS3  bracket sees #1 ONEARMYONELIFE matched against DeathB4Dishonor, while #2 Fear is Better Than Respect will fight#15 Hippo Attack force. I haven’t run into any idle speculation about who is best in this segment of the competition, so the field seems open to all! Meanwhile, the European PC CoD4 bracket has several sponsored pro teams battling it out. #1 4Kings, the pride of the U.K., go head to head with upstart pro team LowLandLions. #12 D-Link PGS.COD4 and #3 BenQ DELTAeSPORTS.COM are also in the mix.

Last, but most certainly not least, the all-Brazil South American CoD4 PC bracket is in its second round after most teams got byes in the first round. #16 All 4 Nothing did top #17 Fusion to advance to round two, however.

The same is occurring in the C&C3: Kane’s Wrath North American bracket. It’s much different, however, in Europe. knolz has already advanced to the third round of the bracket!

Sportswise, Cornhusker has also made it into the third round of the North American NHL 08 360 bracket after an apparent forfeit victory over tuckerNash. #1 seed XFacto88 has yet to face off with #16 Rubthesmurf (great name), however.

In the RTS world, most of the higher seeds advanced out of round one of the StarCraft: Brood War 1v1 North American bracket, with the exception of a couple of matches.

Many more exciting matches are set for play in the Digital Games, so stay tuned for more news!
