XBOX Champions League Cup Final Standings PDF Print E-mail
Written by Sabre0001   
Saturday, 23 January 2010 14:03

16 players entered the FIFA 10 Champions League Cup and were assigned a team. The final was tipped to be KreeganBG (FC Girondins de Bordeaux) against de16rossi (ACF Fiorentina) and so it proved to be. Unfortunately, the first round was tainted by several walkovers. The second round produced some exciting encounters; the upper half of the bracket was a cagey affair with JaevL and de16rossi surviving. KreeganBG and Bl4ckoutzZ_7 had an easier time in the lower half. The semi finals were relatively one sided with de16rossi and KreeganBG claiming their places in the final. Unfortunately, this encounter was spoiled as KreeganBG was awarded a 3-0 default win.

Final Standings:
1st: KreeganBG
2nd: de16rossi
3rd/4th: JaveL
3rd/4th: Bl4ckoutzZ_7
