England's blood lustier habitants might be pleased to learn that ClanBase's organisers have scheduled this seasons EuroCup Grand Final on another bloody Sunday. Giving the highest potential for coke to be supped and popcorn to be munched. Following last weeks donnybrook this Sunday viewers will have to contend with another bout of Dignitas vs The Last Resort.
While leaks may be playing havoc with Barack Obama's pledge of openness, they are not, it turns out, giving eVo as much of a headache. Because the word is that Maus is in form and even Ross will put up a fight worthy of taking on Dignitas this Sunday. What's more Night is still out of action for Dignitas.
And while Dignitas restricted themselves to, as usual, respectful silence about their opponents, Ross used his recent Crossfire interview to show who the real "noisy neighbour" in Enemy Territory are by loudly venting - again - about how great Xylos, Maus and sqzz are. When questioned on the greatest ET player he arrogantly boasted "it would be the whole Impact team"
Transparent as such jibes may be, they do highlight one of the two key advantages that The Last Resort retain over a multigaming clan that now has better players than them, viz, the experience of winning the EuroCup XXI Loser Bracket Final. Until Dignitas reassure themselves with a trophy they will always be prone to bouts of self-doubt or squabbling, unlike The Last Resort who even when they are playing mid-table scufflers such as any Kamz team remain convinced that they will triumph.
The second advantage, of course, is eVos approach: not only do The Last Resort remain convinced they will win, they tend to actively seek that victory, in the EuroCup at least, through the simple mechanism of piling players into the attack through composed tactics, unlike Digntias, who often entrust responsibility for attacking to just one or two players such as olBaa and reload.

Derbies: Is Impact (TLR) vs Dignitas now considered a derby? Lion was, perhaps, as usual, premature in his exclamation of aero vs rage as being the Superclásico. Chelsea vs Leeds it is not, but expect fireworks!
Prediction time: I'm saying 4 - 2 to TLR, with the final BO3 being won by a stroke of excellence from either side. The question is; would either team be here if the Finns hadn't folded?
It's time to finally cast aside the notion that the Dignitas tag is unbeatable

But not twice :)
Oi!
Good read! By the way, TLR have to win twice in order to be crowned the EuroCup XXII champions. Both matches will be played in succession.
Its nice to still see yas around on XF :o)
Over the past few years, I have lurked from the shadows and spectated many a Crossfire match. In that time, I have become rather fond of Finlander's abilites to put aside their egos and fight for the common welfare of their brethren. Their team play, although not perfect, is definitely a notch above the other cute Euro nations I have become fond of. Europeans in the gaming community are very cute to me for some reason.
With that said, I'd like to voice my support for team Dignitas. If for no other reason, because they have 2 Finladers on their team and because...and I quote..."And while Dignitas restricted themselves to, as usual, respectful silence about their opponents." There is no room for arrogance or ego in a serious business champion imo!
May the Lord of Heaven's Armies be with you my Dignitas brethren as I hope he is with GSP tomorrow night against Josh Koschek. LOL!!!
I'm drunk. Please leave me alone. Kthxbai.
And so let it be known, that on this day, and at this time and at this place that yee be known as the yank Sock!
* the new shitty Family Guy Star Wars parody quotes it
nice read. TLR will beat dignitas once but not twice ;)
very good read <3
the list goes on and on!
not that i dont understand it but damn : C makes me look like a crab
i'm thinking a drop in register would be ideal though, considering the majority of your target audience are close to illiterate
With regards to the best player comment. I was asked in the interview who was/were the best player(s) i have played with. I havent played with many of the Dignitas players apart from olbaa who is very talented aswell. There is no doubt in my mind that drago and reload are 2 of the best players to have played and are still currently playing the game. I dont think both teams are at top form with change in personnel and lack of motivation/dedication. Think ET needs that next lan to be announced !
