EuroCup Losers Bracket Semi Final

Tonight its not only the final of the winners bracket of the EuroCup but there is a semi final too. This semi final is in the shadow of the game zeropoint vs idle . This game will decide who takes the 4th place this EuroCup and who is going to face the winners of the winners bracket match. This match will be played between Netrunners knocked out the winners bracket by zeropoint and aMenti that got knocked out of the winner bracket by idle.

Netrunners a stable team with some "old" and "new" school players. Gotti known from teams like TeamPoison, senseless-eSports and Team Poland. On the other hand they got Rio not that known before he joined Netrunners. Rio did win OpenCup division 3 with his previous clan uAznia and after that he joined Netrunners. That the team is stable is shown by the fact that they didn't had a lot of line-up changes. They got a team that did play and won the 5v5 lan in Poland and after that they did add Robol. Robol is a player that got some experience too. After playing with everto and polawka he joined Fear-Factory and now he made the step to Netrunners.

aMenti on the other hand is playing with a line-up full of players that did play EuroCup and/or NationCup before. They got some dangerous players with winghaven as one of the best soldiers and marv as a European Allstar. Their line-up got changed just a while ago. With Crozz going out and m1lk coming in there wont be so much delay anymore before finding a decent server. With m1lk new in the line-up they did beat cdap last week and they are ready to go for a top 3 place in the EuroCup again.

well, this match is really important for both because the winner will take for sure the 3rd place. Our rival is NETR, for sure one of the strongest teams in this EC, they showed already what are they capable to do and we're sure it will be a close match. Since we recruited m1lk our performance is going better and better but maybe we need some more pracc for be in the shape we can. I don't know who will take the victory, but I think it will be a decider for sure =)

This evening, we're going to face aMenti in our probably most important EuroCup match so far. I except the match to be extremely tense and balanced with either team having a chance to come out victorious. Hopefully, it'll be us proceeding to the next stage, but only time will tell if we can live up to the expectations of our supporters!

Predictions
A preview without some predictions aint a preview so here are some prediction

n3co`- Well, I think aMenti will win this match with 4:2. Of course both teams are very strong but aMenti (who was a little bit underrated in their last match against cdap) showed us that they can win against a top team. So don't underrate them!

Sheep Even though my Polish pornstars are playing for NETR, I'm gonna have to go for aMenti. Their recent performances have been very nice and I think they will be able to pull it off against Buzka, kot, chester and co. Sorry Buzka!

Arachon In last weeks LB quaterfinals both Netrunners and aMenti looked very strong, I do however think that aMenti was on a bigger assignment playing cdap pi compared to Netrunners. I think that it will be a close match, but with aMenti having the upper hand in the match and coming out victories. aMenti 4:2 Netrunners

NightRaver This match is very hard to call, both teams won 2 of their groupmatches against the teams that where named the big underdogs. Both teams also lost their third match with the big 4-0 numbers against both zeropoint and cdap. In the playoffs only Netrunners impressed against helix and all the other matches where kinda predictable. My guth feeling goes to Netrunners today, but i think this match can go either way, any day. 4-2

Lion aMenti > Netrunners

twidi 4-2 win for aMenti
