The invited teams:
[b EDiT[/b]]
vila
ziff
mesq
SneeK
snot
acid
Kevin
abort
Although there was a huge discussion about the lio issue in the last days, the team still got invited to this years EuroCup.
The belgian powerhouse has been sticking together with almost the same lineup for some years (!) now, what gives them some advatages in the resort of teamplay.
The belgians placed third at the Crossfire Devotii Challenge 4 in February, and second at the past EC, whom surely are some huge achievements for the team.
I think that EDiT can do very well in this EC, although i dont expect them to repeat their performance at the last EC, cause the competition is simply tougher this time!
All things considered i think EDiT will be able to get a top 5 position in this EC.
[b Cortana[/b]]
aCoZz
calisto
rimi
frozz
gmx
komar
GuNnEr
Cortana, founded in 2006, placed fifth at the last EC, is a team that the favorites surely have to keep an eye on!
With their good performance during the last EC and other online events, the Croatians have prooven that they are far from being the underdogs in the competitive et scene.
With the recent addition of ex-NP player aCoZz and the swiss owner GuNnEr, the lineup of Cortana looks even stronger then before.
In my oppinion this team is able to reach a topnotch position, if they stick together and play their trumps such as experience and teamplay.
[b kirwa kirwanderin kirwurit[/b]]
jauhis
Xpaz
Tiigeri
teKoa
Azatej
Mztik
This promising team has been formed in the past two weeks, and seems one of the strongest if you look at the lineup.
On the one hand you have old Parodia players like jauhis and Xpaz, on the other hed the two superb aimers teKoa and Azatej.
But can this allstar-lineup really make the difference in this years EC. In my oppinion KKK has some really good chances to reach the top three, since all the players already played together in one way or another unde rthe flag of Impact Gaming.
[b TAG[/b]]
Lightning
fets
Hope
zerender
overdrive
smutzig
med1xza
The awesome gamers, a team that main intention it was to play some funny mixed games, has prooven itself by winning last years OC Premier Division.
Although they played a flawless season in the OC, i dont see TAG reaching the playoffs in the EC, because many of the players who played with TAG during this period are now involved in other EC-teams.
[b v&e[/b]]
twidi
lettu
Lepari
Iron
Squall
torspo
mikza
The all finish lineup of v&e seems very strong on the paper, but what can they really reach in this season?
With ex-murso or ex-sFx-LAN players, and of course with the fact that all of them have played for Team-Finland, they are trying to do as good as possible in this season.
The individual skills of the players are on a top level, but i think they can only reach a top position if they really pracc and grow as a team!
[b Incomplete![/b]]
crosby
fel
Raptor
Rk
Spirea
Sanda
Stuka
The next finish team, which made it to the playoffs last season, but being defeated by EDiT in the loosers bracket, finally placing 4th, convinces with stability.
They are attending with almost the same lineup as last season. In my oppinion they will need to struggle really hard to reach the playoffs this season, cause the competition is tougher then last season.
[b megaProGaming e-Sports e.V.[/b]]
Clown

wEAK
sNoOp

The winners of last seasons EC are of course one of the favorites for this seasons also. With a whole german lineup, apart from the landmine/airstrike maniac Clown, they have already dominated the last EC quite unexpectedly.
As already said, the Megapro's have a good chance to place under the top 3, but if they want to defend their trophy they will have to play alot stronger!
[b Impact Gaming[/b]]
Night
r3vers
Reload
toxic
Matias
mAus
The new lineup of Impact Gaming can in my oppinion only be described with two words: fucking impressive!
With the Quakecon champions and former idle.ee players Night, r3vers, Reload and with the CDC winners Matias, toxic and mAus, an incredible ammount of individual achievements has already gathered on the Impact Gaming side.
If the Allstarts find the time to pracc, i would anticipate nothing else as them being the winners of this seasons EC.
I predict the following overall rankings:
Impact Gaming
kirwa kirwanderin kirwurit
megaProGaming e-Sports e.V.
4th v&e
5th EDiT / Cortana

i'm pretty sure he's still owning @ cod4
"Although they played a flawless season in the OC, i dont see TAG reaching the playoffs in the EC, because many of the players who played with TAG during this period are now involved in other EC-teams." bullshit, we have pretty much the same lineup
ps. fix the typos please !
We are not Oxygen anymore, we are xZone now :)
simply!
ik denk dat ze makkelijk winnen, omdat hun line up gewoon beter is
4-2 is niet echt makkelijst
overload 4-0 ephix
fg 4-2 o6
HB 2-4 141
muse 4-0 desire
n1ce 4-0 overdose
FF 2-4 Auth
hMg 4-0 unkind
imo, havent pracced against these clans after cdc though :<
Incomplete have roughly the same (high) quality of players and have always been lacking in teamplay, from what I've seen, and I don't expect this to change a great deal. Individually they're perhaps slightly better than Cortana, but as a team I think Cortana have the edge.
cortana vs inc (with rk) = cortana wins izibash
no pressure!
