Estonia Night – Germany senji – Germany urtier – Estonia Reload - Slovenia JaKaZc - Estonia r3vers

The immortal idle.ee need no introduction, who go into Eurocup XIV as defending champions and strong favorites to retain there title ( and thus break history). However not everything is as it seems, idle.ee once the mark of stability have undergone major changes since the team that strolled past Team-ND in the final to pick up gold. Estonia Holz the first under the hammer was replaced by his countryman and u96d star Estonia r3vers who made a comeback in the Nations cup and played in the crossfire quakecon team,which finished . Slovenia JaKaZc was next in line as the former idle player was called upon once again to leave Europe dMize (Team ND now known as aMenti) to replace United Kingdom adzz who himself was called back into action after Netherlands mike/guardian left midway through the season. Finally and most recently and maybe most importantly (in some peoples eyes) Mr luger himself Netherlands teKoa declared he was giving up full time et and was replaced in turn by Estonia reload again another former idle player, who has been clan-less since the disband of the Europe SFX Lan team. The team now is a sputtering of 3 idle time periods and despite the disjointed look they are as strong as ever. 3 Estonians, 3 u96d players, 2 Germans, 7 1st place Eurocup titles between them, 4 2nd place Eurocup titles between them, and only 1 goal; to retain there title and make history.

Prediction: Playoffs are a formality, and so is the fact that they will be there when the medals are handed out. This season is a much sterner test than last, a top3 finish is almost inevitable but which colour will it be is the real question.

Player to look out for: It really can not be underestimated how important he is, step forward Estonia Vaiko.

Finland Dable - Finland jjameson - Finland Lepari - Finland mIho - Finland PurtZi - Finland Raptor - Finland Rival - Finland Sanda - Finland Spirea - Finland Stuka - Finland Tunesa

This team for many has come from no where, but in the short time that it has been in the publics attention is has thrived and many were certain that this team deserved a invite and so it has come to pass. @ 1 day v3 overcoming the highly talented Europe illusion [RIP] in the final, placing themselves head and shoulders above the other likely eurocup contenders to take home @ et cup 18 and they currently sit pretty at the top of Crossfight glaring down for a challenge. Its hard to judge what this team is capable of, as they may have played some blinders to get some attention and then flop in Eurocup, or on the other hand they may continue they great spell of results and surprise everyone.

Prediction: They group affords 2 opponents who for them are beatable, so they will feel that the play offs are achievable and i agree they are exciting prospect who may and can! reach the play offs.

Player to look out for: Finland Spirea


Morrigu ]

Germany brot – Denmark gyzr – Netherlands joop – Norway Lakaii – Netherlands mize – Netherlands Romeo aka teKoa - Canada Wesbo - Poland nrs - Netherlands sem

Morrigu are the ugly ducking of this Eurocup, un-deserving of there place, and are a near certainty to finish bottom of there group. But as always there is a but, they are somewhat of a mystery though. With some recent success in cups ensuring there invite to Eurocup, although many including myself skeptical about this considering it wasn't really the Morrigu side. Who really is there permanent 6th player? Surely it cant be mize for obvious reasons, but that can only mean that the fan boys wet dream Netherlands teKoa will indeed be playing this Eurocup despite his revelations about quiting full time et, but then again maybe the Morrigu side offer what he wanted commitment wise. Despite this teams lineup nearly all starting for there respective national teams, i just don't think they have the skill to get past the group stages. Also a interesting turn of events will see Netherlands joop go up against his former side United Kingdom uQ.Gaming. The late inclusion of nrs and sem add some depth to and some very skilled objectve/experienced players. Chances against uQ are alot higher now.

Prediction – Wooden spoon award and finish bottom of the pile in Group A.

Player to look out for: Netherlands teKoa if he is indeed the 6th.


Murso SFX ]

Finland cAdEi – Finland Chmpp – Finland lettu – Finland Hessu – Finland Mikza – Finland RauZki –Finland twidi

Following the demise of the both the Finland skit-evil and half Finnish team of Europe/Finland SFX-Lan, a lot of players were left without homes and so too was SFX without a main “star” team. And so without stating the obvious the fun team murso established itself as a serious team ready in preparation for Eurocup. Despite some truly dreadful results leading up to the Eurocup even warranting why they were picked at all, this team has 1 thing which will give them the advantage when facing off against Poland Fear Factory and Finland Incomplete. Proven and tested Eurocup experience, last season the skit-evil side managed to get to the play offs and a solid number of players from that team make up this team as well as veterans such as Chmpp who have fought at the very top of the game. Most players can and will choke during there 1st Eurocup and murso look to take advantage of that fact. So they will count they lucky stars in regards to the draw.

Prediction: If they practice and play like they can/should, could easily emulate skit evils achievement of getting to the play offs like last season, but cant really ask much more than that from these players.
