idle.ee 0 - 4 uQ-Gaming
idle.ee 4 - 0 wArning!
idle.ee 4 - 0 one4one
idle.ee 4 - 0 IDKFA
idle.ee 4 - 0 gods.inc
Idle have had a somewhat more turbulent journey to the finals. Having been dumped into the loser's bracket by uQ in the first round of the playoffs, Idle have had to battle their way past strong challenges in the form of wArning!, 141, IDKFA and gods.inc just to reach this stage. Now, they face the prospect of one slip up and they're out. Don't think there is any less pressure on this side than last season with u96d winning the competition last year; if anything there is even more to prove as the current roster atempt to prove to everyone that they are ever bit as good as their compatriots. Only Night survives from that victorious team of old, and he must motivate his players ever again if the team is to be successful in the Eurocup XII.
Idle seem the least likely clan to split, despite any questions of the sort being promptly replied to along the lines of, "we'll see". With uQ already having announced their end, it is up to Idle to prevent the statistic of all Eurocup playoff clans folding. If the Estonians have won two maps by Tuesday, they will surely see the Eurocup as there for the taking. It's the agressiveness of Idle versus the rock solid defense of uQ, and the results are likely to be fireworks.
Swine again caught up with another player for a short chat, this time the Idle clanleader Night:
swine: It's the same situation like one year ago...again idle (u96d) from the loserbracket and uQ-Gaming (parodia) from the winnerbracket. what do you except for the final?
Night: I want to make the game as interesting as it was last season, so it's fun to watch
swine: How do you prepare for the finale? Any "special tactics" or just
praccing?
Night: Mostly praccing still, nothing special.
swine: Some people say idle.ee is a mixxed team, nearly everyone says that the old u96d Lineup was much better but this idle.ee team lost only 2 maps in this eurocup. So maybe you are a little bit underrated in this case and do you think this team is stronger then the u96d team last year?
Night: It kinda is or was mixed team, now we're doing pretty ok already, atleast in my opinion. Hard to say which team is stronger. u96d played together more than this team, but this team is more stable. We started with 6 players and same 6 will finish the journey!
swine: We read these days on xfire that uQ wont take another ET Squad. What's the future for you, your team and the ET part at idle.ee after the ec/nc?
Night: I think you all have to wait and see. We're not sure about anything yet..
swine: What do you think? Is ET dead or still alive?
Night: It all depends on upcoming weeks, but I think that it could be survived! Only thing we need - some new cup(s) with decent prizes that would make teams wanna play still/again
swine: 6. Ok, fast round, answer my questions with one word. Nationscup? ET: Quakewars? RTCW 2?
Night: NC: cool, ET:qw: nothx, RTCW2: woo!
