Having won last seasons Open Cup premier essentially gave elite the benefit of avoiding an early exit in the qualifiers like so many teams that you could group them with; suXus the most prominent. Being blunt and honest here, the elite would most likely also agree that they are only here to fill up the numbers and thats without even looking at who the other teams in the group are! Impact are strong at present and after a strong LAN performance from VAE - 4i, it would be smart to be wary of what there capable of, and not just from elites point of view either. Unfortunately for FroZzens' few, the encounter with potentially the only opponent in the group who they have a feasible chance of overcoming is in the last game where all chances of progressing to the play offs will have most likely faded, however having said that, the pressure aspect will be none existent. Looking at the team, which of course isn't finalized, you have a distinct class of older more experienced personalities such as Future, CS4f1, and Us4rmy most familiar under the underscore/t4ce name or Negative image/one4one as well in Future's case. In comparison to the almost “new” school players like day_, frozz, and teente. In reality, there are all experienced players in their own way, just lack of experience at Eurocup level, and that will be fatal at this level. Hot off the rumor mill, word has been going round that there search for an extra medic is finally over, and the player in question needs no introduction. If sources are to be believed, then we can give a round of applause to former Dignitas / Mythology and u96d starlet intact. There own expectations aren't high and there wont be any surprises, but thats not what its about for some of these players, who will love every minute of there first season in Eurocup.

Thundering onto the scene in their home cup, ET Masters. This high profile line up has taken some bumps and bruises along the way and these days differs from the line up announced all the way back in the day, xionn and Mztik now find themselves replaced, although a backup spot is still present for the latter who had to drop from the side for real life issues. Not to be undone, the team re-cooped and M1lk fresh from his Eurocup mercenary role at aMenti joined the talented mystic who clearly has a appetite for the game he so easily dominated in his gun slingers and more recently parodia days.
The team was built for one purpose, and one purpose alone to dislodge Dignitas insatiable grip on the competitive scene. You can't help but draw comparisons to zeroPoint when they first burst onto the scene, and so abruptly beat idle.ee in the 5v5 PGA LAN qualifiers, the team that achieved so quickly and now is paying for it. Whereas on the other hand you have the Impact side which in its first official faced off against a highly rated TLR side on the up, and most crucially felt the bitterness of defeat straight away. In my personal opinion, I would rather be beaten sooner than later, given the vast experience of the players in this line up there are certain to have the character to takea defeat on the chin and look where it all went wrong, in comparison to a zP side which has “apparently” one of its biggest stars disconnecting before matches end (awhile) and calling 'gg' in officials with 5+ minutes remaining. You can’t deny the value of experience and what do you see looking at this team?
On there own merits before this team was formed, the lowest achievement that one of them held was finishing 4th in Eurocup (Tiigeri – deMiurge), the only other team that could boast depth even remotely similar is Dignitas. After finding there feet in their home tournament, a slow progress was made to the finals where they were undeniably the business by not once, but twice overcoming a desperate zeroPoint side to eventually be succumbed to TLR for a third time, finally settling for a 2nd spot on a hot Sunday morning in Enschede, Holland. At the same location, the same result but for a different competition. The one in question, CPC2, where 16 of the very best teams in European Enemy Territory turned out. Impact fresh from qualifying 2nd in there group after quite the upset loss to Polar eSports, went onto tame the high flying Belgians not once but twice. A vaeLAN side which recovered passionately from a embarrassing start against team of the moment TLR.eSports, was then duly over turned before moving onto the masters themselves, Dignitas. A stern test it was, but you cant help feeling that the Dignitas players were still a little shell shocked in light of the record breaking loss, and memories of the PGA LAN qualifiers would have come streaming back, all except for teKoa who had a sublime tournament it must be said and was on the winning side this time. The wound had been opened (zP/TLR) and the salt had well and truly had been rubbed in (cdap - pi/Impact) so to speak, history well and truly repeating its self! The Impact line-up is strong, very strong in fact, but there is this creeping desire that would like me to see Mztik replace arguably the weakest link in the chain Tiigeri, and see if they could not reach an even higher level. If its meant to be, it surely is meant to be and this team gets better every time you see them. I would hold them as a stronger contender to the thrown than zeroPoint at present, but TLR firmly stand before them to be called the number 1 contender or in fact due to this weekends result, even the best team in the world right now! I can really see a top 3 finish for the Impact side, in there debut Eurocup together.

When the Eurocup invites and qualifiers were announced, everyone expected pingwins aka K1ck as they are known now, name to be there. But just not on the direct invite list, and with no real ground to say why they were picked over teams like incomplete / insignia cadre it remains a mystery. They will ply there trade in Group D with 3 other direct invite teams, which as soon as you hear it you would assume that this group would be the hardest, but quite the opposite. But it would appear that the CB admins have possibly seen the error of there ways and placed possibly the 3 weakest direct invites and one of the top 4 to balance it out, although none of the groups are perfect. The very foundations of the K1ck can be traced back to the very slapstick, put together team of Maybe, and 2 remain from the original 6 after people left and went there own separate ways or for one reason or another stopped playing, and of course if you hadn't guessed that is Lightning and chaoz. The team isn't especially skilled, nor are its members, and generally they are known for the exploits with their national teams or their 3v3 skills, but another area where I do feel the team has “evolved” from last season, is by bringing in he widely known and loved figure bullvox, in place of some would argue the more skilled/conventional rifle Lion. I would argue against this though, as Lion in my opinion was suffering from a lack of form last season and possibly his motivation for the game had gone, I'm not sure. However bringing in bullvox has seen them capitalize on some lineup problems at other big teams and possibly overachieve in getting a 4th spot in the ET Masters, coupled with a direct invite for this Eurocup things are looking up for the team. I cant see them making the play offs, but they will probably feel there is an opportunity open to steal VAE – 4i 2nd spot.

After the major lineup changes going to into CPC2, with possibly 2 of there best players for one reason or another not attending, coupled with the departure of Lepari after the LAN left the VAE side servilely weakened. Now that the new roster has been announced, its now the time to reflect upon the changes, and to predict how capable the the "new" team is of performing. Kevin takes his old spot in the lineup and should do the team no harm overall. The main changes comes in the form of top Polish player gotti transferring from a NETRunners side which have not entered Eurocup and is fits nicely into the mold of what I've come to see as a typical one4one(vae) player, and fireBall role is to probably take full potential of his great aim and do as much damage as possible. Defiantly strong enough to overturn a K1ck side for 2nd spot, and with enough practice, capable of pulling off a surprise or two in the play offs.

Players to watch
Impact Gaming
Raveneye : Quite possibly the best rifle in ET on his day, and clearly a fan favorite. Stupidly effective and switches his play styles from being insanely aggressive to the mundane placing of mines without question and still has no problem with dealing the damage given on his team, a feat only made more impressive by the fact that aiming legends
teKoa and
mystic fight along side him.
Vicious and Evil
?? : Hard to decide because of the numerous lineup changes,
Lepari ou, results in a nice steal from
AuxiliA in the form of
fireBall resulting in a out and out aggressive aimer coming in, basically swap for swap. Players like Sheep, Iron and vegi are all well and good, but the side lacks a dedicated aggressive aimer who they had with the likes of
razz and
Lepari.
Kevin's return to the side will hopefully stop the rot and once again get this side back on track.
K1ck eSports
chaoz : The streetfighter 3v3 star and Maybe/UQ-Gaming/Pingwins/K1ck stalwart is one of the building blocks to this teams long survival despite extensive lineup changes over the years. He still remains one of their best players and when playing well a hotshot who is hard to deal with!
elite
/
intact/teente : It really is as simple as this, if intact does play then you should al fulfill your urges as fanboys and watch him, else grab your chance to watch a new talent who isn't the most skilled/entertaining guy playing at elite,
future can probably boast that honor, but with teente you can see someone making his first steps into the big league and lucky enough for him he gets to play in EC so soon after joining his first major clan.
I doubt you even saw him playing ... :x
You have to edit some flags tho, as Winghaven definitely ain't Belgian and both Clown and the guy in elite are from Latvia and not from Lithuania.
Auron left Insigna Cadre, and Efax is in mQ as well.
Further more it is quite dissapointing to see only the top-teams getting a preview.
And it seems they prefer a FF8 character above an FF-X character ;-p
he played fcking nice against zP , and he played well in the other games to , second day you can't blame him for playing a bit less because his mouse was lost and he had to use another one. I don't know what you have against us but what can i say, you suck anyway..
I'm sorry, where do you come into this ?

Most? Actually you're the first person I've heard say that, but thanks!
Regardless of that, decent article - nice to have some coverage since we're already in the first matchweek and there's been nothing so far, although I do hope you'll be adding more to it.
what u got to be kiddin rly? :D thats the most retarded thing i heard anyone say about cpc2 thus far. dont make statements about things you obviously dont know anything about evan xD
I agree about one thing, Tiigerii should be replaced by Mztik since he seems to be the weaker player in the lineup. No offense meant here ofcourse, he is still a top player, but if you want to win Dignitas or TLR confidently you need to put your best men on the field :)
anyway, great job, nice efforts you put in your works <3
Cold?!? You what? It was bloody boiling!
create some own plz
'fuck you'
2) humm3l sucks (just full held him, fireball + rumba @ flag on sd np, finally shut fatty up)
3) wiesiek is not 2nd/3rd imo, more 1st/2nd, only 2 great players from PL imo are wiesiek and kot, then u have r1co, etc
4) evan get out more :D
kot and wiesiek have usually around 48 ping, and I consider them as the 2 best poltards!
nice going sleep btw:<(
but ye, u have 2 arrogant players with u, so i guess u got to get used to taking this kinda shit from now on =/
edit: u can hardly get any more german than wayne is! =)
Till now, there are only 2 wars not covered, and thats retroactive vs suXus and mQ vs EZ.
he's asking for some m&m's
im-not-teh-perfoheiser-but-eh-ef(h)ax
Basically i could just say that about everything you wrote tbfh.
:<
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.
lol'ed.
Ban him on CB because he cheated, oke.
No need to ban him on crossfire ...
;)

imo he played good but the otherones in his team exelled anny expectation. And that is because finnally they have some hardware 2 play with.
Besides that, he only played 1 war with his own mouse... you should have watched him on thursday where he raped one.soldier on the boocamp
the players from vib who "irritated" me where lio and vila mainly and they actually said that a lot of people listen to my views and thats why they didn't want to come across as bad in my reports because people would follow what i read and think it themselves. Thats why i made a deal with them that if they could prove me wrong (about how i portrayed them) and win 1 map at EC (not 1 game, 1 map) then i would publically apologize to them. Actually looking back at my report i gave them I said I quote
Now how the fuck does me having a grudge against vib (which i don't) have anything to do with me saying zeto didn't play as good as he does online in the game i saw him play at lan? Please you know absolutely fucking nothing about the whole situation and flame for the sake of it, very sad person indeed. I've never once claimed that I know what I'm talking about but that doesnt stop me from being right 90% of the time now does it, i mean just look at my predictions last year. They were 100% correct for 3 of the groups, and if abnormal monkeys hadn't dropped out and screwed group d up then they might have been all right.
2) For your information 'oh mighty evan' - you got nowhere close to 100,000 views, seeing as somebody decided to rub it in your face that your views aren't really worth as much as you make them out to be.
3) Oh and the fact that it's a 5 views per reader doesn't affect prior results either right? Then again, saying that, probably only around 3% of the people who actually opened the page actually read it. It's fair to say that the majority of people probably opened this page just to laugh at the shit you write.
4) Comments - Have you actually read them? About 95% of them are insulting the fact that you've paid for hacks, you can't write in proper english & of course that you've talked bullshit about things you don't even know about (zeto & mQ for example).
Wake up and smell the roses.
What pisses me off is much more than that - If you want to know, here's a few things:
You're willing to pay for cheats. You continue to put people down publicly & privately. You assume your work is better than other peoples for no apparent reason. You actually think you're good at ET. You think you're better than people for no apparent reason. You choose to insult people about things such as what country they're from for no apparent reason. You put down anyone whose opinion differs to your own, and arselick anyone whose agrees. You don't admit when you're clearly wrong in a fear of being flamed for it.
I guess you haven't even realised that the only reason people know you is because you're a shit admin, a hacker and you publicise your opinion, despite it often being biased and offensive.
Oh and by the way, you're an idiot =)
a) Please don't lecture me about cheating, since you have cheated yourself (I don't care what circumstances) in ET, and yet people choose to turn a blind eye on that fact.
b) I never ever assume anything, nor do I think I'm better than someone for "no" apparent reason.
c) Name 1 person I've insulted purely based on what country there from.
d) Name 1 instance of me putting anyone down whose opinion differed from mine, or arselick anyone who agreed tbfh.
d) Read above, you will see me replying to Rafiki and Licid saying I didn't see zeto play against zP (apparently his best game), so I have no problem with admitting I'm wrong, but usually i will remain arrogant until my point is proved ie vib last season @ ec
e) ". You continue to put people down publicly & privately"
You probably mean someone like Gifty, but I can't see what is wrong here, if i have the face to say something in public or tell them myself then whats the problem. Clearly this is were we differ, since you have decided to make this whole embarrassing reply in public, instead of talking to me on vent or on irc.
f) I don't think I'm good at ET I don't play enough to be "good".
You're so obviously still upset about what I said, and I'm actually a bit sad that you would do this. I'm arrogant no doubt but that doesn't influence my opinions or actions at all. Whats wrong with me publicizing my opinion even if it is biased or offensive ? I cant understand how it could be biased for a start, clearly as I don't represent anyone other than myself, and I've got a strong opinion no doubt but im not afraid to say it and would never edit "work" like you do/did to comply with other peoples opinions/expectations. I would rather you didn't reply, if you want to say something else than talk to me on irc or vent.
