emuLate out of WCG contention

One of France's leading teams, and WCG 2007 winners, emuLate, have failed to qualify for WCG 2008

The French WCG qualifiers are taking place this weekend and the WCG holders, emuLate, will not be participating in WCG 2008 after failing to make it out of the group stages of the French qualifiers.

The holders were placed in the first group along with rivals aAa, ubiteam and xG. aAa and emuLate were both expected to qualify in the group however ubiteam proved to be leading contenders when they were able to win all their matches with relative ease. aAa took the 3 pts agaisnt emuLate which is all they needed to secure themselves 2nd place in Group A and send emuLate crashing out of this year's World Cyber Games.

Here is a list of emuLate's matches which sent them to their doom:

[opponents,255, 501, 3]

The tournament is still live, now left with aAa, ubiteam, Millenium & Esports-eu who will be competiting in a single elimination bracket for that one berth at this year's WCG Finals which are to be held in Cologne, Germany from November 6th - 9th.
