When seeing the following two teams, don't you have the slightest notion of deja vu?
Europe Team Rockit
Italy XyLoS
Latvia Clown
Spain Winghaven
Belgium mAus
United Kingdom Meez vs United Kingdom Team Dignitas:
Sweden feruS
Germany drago
Estonia reload
Estonia Night
Finland matias

Both teams are already very familiar standing on the finish stage during the prize ceremony, so that won't be a surprise for either one. Europe Rockit's core lineup goes back a few years.
Winghaven was part of the original dMiZe team which attended the Crossfire Prizefight Challenge (first edition) and took home bronze.
At the Crossfire Prizefight Challenge #2 Winghaven was joined by mAus in The Last Resort, with who the players won the tournament.
At the Crossfire Devotii Challenge 3 The Last Resort once again attended with Winghaven and mAus, but now also joined by XyLoS and Clown. The team wins the entire tournament once again, securing a second gold position.
Some of the players (Winghaven, mAus and Clown) are united once again at the Crossfire Devotii Challenge 4, as Europe New Project, which takes home silver.
At the Crossfire Challenge 5 mAus, Clown, XyLoS and Winghaven are once again united, this time under Europe ButtonBashers, with whom the team secures silver.
At the Crossfire Challenge 6 the team finds itself without the support from Belgium mAus while the team once again takes home silver.

With the majority of the players from Rockit taking home silver at the past four events, the team looks eager to return to their old level, and perhaps add another gold medal to their profiles. Their latest addition in their effort to realize this wish is adding United Kingdom Meez, who is perhaps best well known for taking home bronze while playing for Europe Overload Gaming during the Crossfire Challenge 6.

So who won the Crossfire events at which this amazing combination of players did not take home gold? Well, one of the winners was mamut.si of course, who won last Crossfire Challenge, and who happen to be very closely similar to the United Kingdom Team Dignitas side Rockit are facing today. Night and feruS also formed the core of the idle.ee team which won the original Crossfire Prizefight Challenge and the SuperRetardedPlayers team which took home bronze at the Crossfire Devotii Challenge 4. At the same event Estonia reload took home silver at that same edition. Night and drago played for mamut at the Crossfire Challenge 5 and took home bronze.

So all the Dignitas players have a long history, both as teammates and opponents of each other. It will be very interesting to see which relation will lead to the best results today. Also worth noting is that Dignitas need to beat Rockit twice for victory. Something mamut.si are quite capable of as they did it once before, during the previous Crossfire Challenge.

The match will be broadcasted live by QuadV.
