Although the seeds were not officially due for release until this evening, GameFrontier have linked to the tournament brackets and seeding lists already on the tournament information page.
UPDATE
#1: GameFrontier have since removed the links to the seeds and brackets on their website. Whether this means they will be revised or this has been done due to the leaked nature of the seeds long before the official announcement time remains to be seen. So, will these seeds be final?
#2: It has been confirmed that some seedings are due for change come the official announcement at 8pm tonight. This is primarily due to a change in those attending, with some teams removed and new ones signing up in their place - but we could well see changes upon the feedback and opinions given here too. We will bring you the official, final seedings as soon as they are announced.
#3: Despite announcing in various places on their site that the official seeds would be released this evening at 8pm, this announcement is yet to materialise. We will keep checking and endeavour to bring you such an official list as soon as it is released.

Hi everyone, today GameFrontier, the organisation behind the CPL UK stop have announched the fixtures for the upcoming CS tournament. In bold we can see the UK teams attending, some are more fortunate with the drawings while others have to secure a round.
The big game of the 1st round will be the clash between

As you can see, some interesting first round fixtures and seedings - should
iEngland really be above all those other UK teams? Should
ImaGine be that low after their OpenCup Div 2 win? Can
Ethernet carry their online form onto LAN? We'll see...
