4. GROUP C

TAG
The biggest surprise in EC XVIII so far- FatGames lost their game versus Cortana. Entertaining show, gmx 4-seconds-left frag on radar, decider-supply – with better performance by Croatians.TAG couldn’t take revenge from FG. What is more, the clan who once won OC premier league without losing a single round, now became a clan who lost EC without winning a single round. TLR rolled over every clan- they’ve finished with impressive 12-0 points ratio, proving that placing them as the biggest favourite was a good thought. If you watch just at the results, just 1 game didn’t end with 4-0 score and it’s the only group with clear 3-2-1-0 standing. Hovewer, this group delivered a good piece of emotions as well. FatGames used wildcard to prepare more efficiently to the last game. It was known that no matter what the final score will be, TLR’s 1st place in the group was not in danger. It was known, that no matter how much FG will win, they will go through. After one-sided supply, bremen was a nice pack of offensive actions. Awesome round and 6.06 time by FG, but it was beaten by even better attack by TLR! That meant FG are out of EC. In some people’s opinion, taking wildcard against TLR to prepare better for decider game was a good choice. But I still wonder what would happen if they took wildcard against Cortana...
GROUP D
after direct invitations:
Fear Factory
overload
after qualifier games:
Jacks
muse-gaming
At the beginning, overload lost 2-4 versus Jacks. For some it was a big surprise, however, for me- not. Jacks’ practice games looked really good, team spirit was allright and they started EC with a bang. FF vs muse match was played as the last game in the group because of douille’s injury. Frenchies lost their first match versus Overload, while at the same time FF shown a good piece of teamplay in game versus Jacks. Remarkable wiadro’s rifle shot at goldrush is one of the moment to remember. Jacks with the great chance of progressing to playoffs, needed to beat muse-gaming in their last match and hope that FF will keep their winning streak. 
DabSter’s case, less practice, a couple of tactical mistakes- combination of those elements influenced on Jacks’ performance in their last EC game, as later appeared. Paradoxally, despite winning this fight, muse-gaming made it clear that overload will progress to playoff stage no matter what their score versus FF will be. Thanks to good points ratio versus Jacks and muse-gaming, they progressed to the next stage, despite winning only 1 game in the group stage.

Actually, it was their 2nd game so after this loss they had to win vs re-play.
Nice work though, I'll read more when I'm home!

Did you watch every EC game ? If no then it's a bit pointless to give some awards.

Nice effort, good article :)
nice statistics and coverage :)
also.. if FG beat TLR 4-0, FG would have come 1st, and TLR 2nd. TLR needed to win at least 1 round to come 1st.
xD
Oh and our radar defence wasn't good, thats why they kept getting the parts! :D It was just a pure lottofest and it still makes me laugh that we held it. Most entertaining defence maybe! :P
And radar defence was good- you've managed to recapture objective every time and finished with fullhold.
lol what! O.O
Nice work, despite you picked out some pretty horrid looking graph colours :)
:D this really gives the right picture of our game, ty. unbalanced and blind article, but still ok!
btw "You mustn’t miss..." - "You should not miss" - our english teacher on grammar school would kill ya for that mistake! :)
You mustn't= you aren't allowed to ! :P
