After a short period of doubt as to whether the team would go on, and forced roster changes at the tail end of last seasons Eurocup, the team decided to fold and go their separate ways and the legacy that was Incomplete ended, at least we thought! None of them could find a new home, at least not one which liked them!; or they had their time away from the game and wanted back in on the action, and this leads us back into the fray. Matias was drafted in as the rifle, and that proved quite the astute choice as he single handedly humbled a tough Germany vae - nv side over 3 maps as they came from behind to finish well in the qualifier match. They find themselves in honestly a two way group where it's all but near impossible to qualify given the statue and skill of TLR and Polar, in comparison to themselves. From last seasons near success, they only really miss Finland Lepari, and I feel its quite the well rounded and skilled team. However the real battle will be between the all dutch side of Morrigu to see who finishes 3rd and 4th respectively, in a tough group it must be said.

Sporting a slightly different line up these days, after the team decided to go back to its' roots and continue with an all Dutch side, replacing the majority of the side which unexpectedly received a direct invite to Eurocup XIV. Only two survive from last seasons bunch, captain Netherlands Wesbo and his unlikely lass Netherlands Kitty. Some familiar faces have been brought in, and some new “stars” are rising up the ranks. Despite the veteran faces of Netherlands Leonneke / mize coming in, neither can claim to having actually played in a Eurocup themselves despite mizes obvious achievements at National level in Nations Cup, all of which has been partially disregarded because of the cheating scandal he was(is) involved in. Netherlands Leonneke to most of you, will be familiar from his time in former UK number one outfit United Kingdom SoF, and mize from his time in cdap pi, and queens amongst others. The remaining holes are filled with former United Kingdom Sublime and Netherlands hMg Gaming stars ins and rocky, definitely new school for the win! Given the group there in, pretty much similar campaign as last, expect with a worse team in a harder group. Although they should be given credit for overcoming eZ in the qualifiers no matter what the circumstances.

After what can only be described as demotivating early exit in the ET masters after a first game loss to Finland Insignia Cadre, which in most circles was highly unexpected, they were to suffer the same situation as the Europe one4one team in their Eurocup group beforehand (and the Belgium cZar team the season before that!) winning 2 of the 3 games and still not going through as results didn't quite go there way.

Eventually finishing up with a equal round score; but for the Polar side, some performances that will want to be forgotten. No line up changes from the previous season (admittedly strange for some of these players!), which will benefit them in the long run. The major concern is, that on there day there are simply a match for anyone but when not all of their players are hitting top form, especially some one like Netherlands kris they tend to struggle and reliance falls upon the likes of Italy XyLoS, who in my opinion, when performing he is simply the best riflenader in ET or the highly rated German medic Germany sNoOp.

They will look to emulate and possibly improve upon last seasons 5th placement at Eurocup, and find the faults in their last gasp exit against aMenti aka United Kingdom The Last Resort, after so thoroughly drubbing them in the group stages. However I feel this will have more to do with how other teams perform than themselves with Poland NETRunners not competing, they could see a open spot in the top 4 but with the inclusion of United Kingdom Impact-Gaming into the picture, and line-up changes at both Sweden zeroPoint Gaming! and United Kingdom TLR.eSports both seemingly for the better they will find it hard to accomplish any other than a solid showing and another 5th place. Having said that the performances at LAN were proof enough that the team can be counted among the best and beat anyone given the right circumstances.

Looking into the history of the former Goliath side sees a tale of achievement and luck, in Eurocup XIII a early victory against Finland deMiurge meant they eventually avoided Estonia idle.ee side until the final, and scraped through against the Germany riZe side in the semi-finals who had to play without superstar flag=de] Butchji in the first map. The following season saw a group stage encounter with cdap-pi which ended in defeat forcing them into a 2nd spot and a early showdown (and ultimately early loserbracket struggle) with United Kingdom Dignitas in the play-offs. But as we all know, sometimes luck is just on your side, the widely regarded Germany Helix side who many saw as the 2nd best team at the time, who also unexpectedly lost to Polish outfit NETRunners and themselves were forced to fight for their lives in the loserbracket, dropped before the game was played and aMenti dodged a bullet and a potentially early exit. A forced roster change saw M1lk come in for Israel Crozz, for the showdown against cdap – pi who lost in a intense upper bracket duel against Sweden zeroPoint. Fate just had to give aMenti the nod and they proceed after what can only be described as exhilarating displays against Europe cdap – pi and Poland NETRunners before ultimately losing timidly to Sweden zeroPoint and the fairytale recreation of the former seasons exploits suffered, although only slightly; ending up with the bronze instead of silver. Moving onto more current events, after what can only be described as flawless displays in Europe ET Masters, and beating the new boys in town United Kingdom Impact a resounding 4-0 and cementing there place as the top contender for United Kingdom Dignitas. Seemingly processing results in a machine like fashion, saw them breeze to the winner bracket final where again they ousted Impact but this time in a much closer contest, with the exception of the decider which was embarrassingly one sided in United Kingdom TLR.eSports favour. The ET Masters organisation pulled some strings and the eventual final was played on LAN at CPC2, which saw them face off again against United Kingdom Impact once again, 3rd time in the ET Masters competition and twice on LAN (represented in both competitions finals!), and luckily for the TLR guys have come out on the winning side on every occasion (4-0, 4-2, 4-2, 4-0). United Kingdom TLR.eSports had a number of objectives coming to CPC 2, firstly to win there first major title as a team (ET Masters) and to prove they can beat Dignitas, as for this bunch of players playing second fiddle has been going on for far too long! Regardless of what ever you can say about Dignitas, TLR beat the team that was put out in front of them, with some sublime individual performances on every map; Spain Winghaven will forever be etched in the chronicles of ET history for his part in Dignitas first competitive loss in a 6v6 since February 2006, not to mention there first dropped map on LAN and eventually and most importantly first defeat on LAN ever, and dare i usher it the first defeat for the Dignitas name. This team has had an amazing week(end) and will feel full of confidence stepping into a new Eurocup campaign this week, and in all fairness its deserved. No adjective could give full credit to the way they are playing right now, but for any of you who follow football, I leave with only the whisper of Manchester United at the tip of my tongue. I would be expect nothing other than a top 3, if not top 2 finish from the United Kingdom The Last Resort.


Predicted Final Standings

2 - Germany Polar eSports - pi

4 - Netherlands Morrigu

Players to watch

Finland Incomplete

Finland Matieye aka Matias : With so many of the Incomplete guys all on the same level its hard to judge between them, but so far this campaign its been the new recruit Finland Matieye whose taking charge of the rifle and making people very curious as to how he is so very "good" with it. He has been simple there best player of the campaign so far, so I find it hard to pick any other player over him as the one to watch from Incomplete!

Germany Polar eSports

Italy XyLoS : Quite simply the best rifle in the world, you can argue it all day till your face is blue but no one comes close to him. He is one of the core successes to Polar's 5th finish EuroCup last year, and his desire to to get better will only benefit his team.

Netherlands Morrigu

Netherlands Efax : To be fair, none of the Morrigu players are all that appealing to watch, so since most people enjoy insane aiming skills, then you could take your pick from the likes of Efax, mize, and rocky etc.

United Kingdom The Last Resort

Belgium mAus : We can all watch him now, safe in the knowledge that our souls wont be sent to hell for admiring someone from the dark side! (cheater if you didn't quite get it!) Insane aim, and a just a hardcore player whose entertaining to watch from his sublime smg multikills to when hes actually being objective. Although in fairness anyone and everyone from TLR is a pleasure to watch.
