It's a Master Craft
This Sunday sees the start of the ET Masters tournament. For those not aware it's an invite only tournament featuring top teams considered masters of the game battling it out for honour and a prize bounty of 250 Euros. And what an awesome prospect the first round is. I think it's only fair to review each match individually. Read more for details and predictions.
Sunday is Fight Night

Predictions
Toxic: Well i think it will be a victory for cZar after an evenly matched game. Morrigu would want to recover from their loss in the CPC2 qualis but I can't see it happening against a strong cZar side
gifty: cZar against Morrigu will be a good fight I guess, eventhough I would go 4 : 2 for cZar, just because they seem stronger as a team, and since I've played with 4 of them already I know they can do a lot.
sqzz: Czar have strong players, Iv played with some and Communicate well. and have good Teamplay 4-0 to Czar
kot: czar - mq 4:2 mesq: We are quite confident about winning this match. Everything within the team is going smooth so my prediction for this game would be 4-2 for us.
Raveneye: We haven't really played against these guys so I can't really predict the outcome, but I happened to notice that cZar is using playername [cZar] tags, which should give them ultimate power over Morrigu. This isn't going to happen though, because parodia tag will punish eveyone using it without permission, so Morrigu wins 4-0_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Predictions
Toxic: Well, I think it will be a victory for us. negative image have lettu and twidi praccing with murso for CPC2 ofc so... gifty: I love the neg.Image guys, but Polar eSports will just be too good. Goldrush will go to negative image, but the other two maps most likely to Polar eSports. 4 : 2 Polar. sqzz: Polar esports will take this game, they have alot of skilled players, and will take this 4-2 to Polar eSports. kot: polar - img 4:0 mesq: polar eSports are playing very nice atm. I guess they will take this game quite easy with a clean 4-0. Raveneye: This one is going to be easy for Polar, Negative Image didnt impress me when we pracced against them a couple of days ago. Easy 4-0 win for laggers if they play at their usual skill level._________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Predictions
Toxic: This is one of the closest matches in the first round and I think it will be a 4-2 for whichever team wins. I'm 100% sure vib will win gr after dtekt didnt show the best performance on grush against infrag, and i think dtekt will win braun. All depends on the decider map :P gifty: I don't know any of those team quite good, just a few players. I guess vib will win this one, maybe even 4 : 0, but my prediction could be totally wrong, I don't know. sqzz: dtekt eSports, played with alot of their players in 3on3, nice guys + very Skilled, 4-2 too dtekt eSports. kot: dtekt - vib 4:2 mesq: This game will be a great game to watch, the teams are equal. I think this match will end in the favour of dtekt. 4-2 for dtekt. Raveneye: This one is going to be a tough game. I'm pretty sure it will go to the decider round and the team which keeps their teamplay together wins the match. 4-2 to vib, just because they have yoghurt man in their lineup._________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Predictions
Toxic: I think it will be an easy win for zP as they won on shg without butchji at LAN and beat KiH on frostbite, so now online and no frost with butchji.. easy win for zP gifty: We played totally crappy last few days, but officials are our territories, so I guess we can/will win this one, maybe 4 : 2. <3 FeTTe & smutzig sqzz: I think this will b a close game, if ZeroPoint are on form, im obviously gonna be modest cause its my own team, so 4-2 too zeroPoint! gaming, CMON boys kot: zp - vae 4:0 mesq: This will be a one sided match. zeroPoint will overrush KiH on both maps, 4-0 for zeroPoint. Raveneye: Easy bash for zP if butchji and gifty stay uninjured. Can't really see KIH having even a little piece of chance in this one. zP wins 4-0_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Lineups
Impact Gaming: Xpaz - mystic - Raveneye - Tiigeri - teKoa - M1lk The Last Resort: acozz - clown - david - marv - Winghaven - mAusMaps: sw_goldrush_te / braundorf_b4
Predictions
Toxic: Well, this is definetely the match of the first round. Impact need to show that they're not a clone of a-monkeys and TLR can prove to Impact that the level of ET is higher then what Mztik said. I think it will be a win for TLR as TLR seem to have gotten better with mAus and the last minute change for impact could hurt their chances. TLR win gifty: We've played alot against impact, but never against TLR with that lineup, so I would think 4 : 2 either way, since I know the strenght of TLR from before. sqzz: Impact.gaming, Played / Merced with them in some games, Very nice + Skilled lads. I think if Impact.Gaming play like they normally do, they should take this game would be Quite easy for them, Impact.Gaming 4-0 kot: tlr - impact 2:4 mesq: It will be a great match to watch for sure. It will most likely end in a decider, which Impact Gaming will win, 4-2 for Impact Gaming. Raveneye: Impact Gaming wins 4-0 and I would be stupid if I said something else. The match is going to be very tight and they might even take a map from us, but I'm pretty positive that we will come out as the winners. 4-0 for us against tlr and 10-0 for us against the gemran whiner kids._________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Predictions
Toxic:Netrunners will win, simply because they are better :D gifty: NETR all the way! 4 : 0 or 4 : 2 for them. I love those polish guys =d sqzz: Netrunners, will take this, They have played together in |;P| and was a v skilled team, now even better, 4-0, maybe might go 2 draw. but will take last round, on pressure. Gl too Both teams. kot: netr - a+r 4:0 :p mesq: This match can end up in a surprising result for AR. A+R are playing good the last days, they didn't qualified for CPC 2. But they didn't played bad in the qualifier, On the other hand NETRunners are a strong team. But I doubt they were active the last 2 weeks. They didn't pracc that much I guess. My prediction for this match is 4-2 for NETRunners. Raveneye: I have played pretty much against Netrunners and their ultimate duo kot and ROBOL should lead them to victory pretty easily. Agony Realm side looks pretty weak and I cant really see Netrunners losing this match. 4-0 for Netrunners._________________________________________________________________________________________________________

one4one: sheep - lepari - squall - vegi - razz - iron - pliss Team Helix: MurDa - ramin - drago - riddla - Sanda - SpireaMaps: sw_goldrush_te / braundorf_b4
Predictions
Toxic: Haven't seen played against neither of them but knowing that 141 has been together for quite a while with the only change being razz for keving, I'd think that they'll win as helix were always good but never great, and they've only just comeback gifty: 141 is extremely strong, and helix is very new and not ready yet for 141. 4 : 0 for 141. sqzz: Close game. both skilled teams, Iv playes VS one4one in the time being, and they played REALLY well. 4-2 too one4one. kot: 141 - hx 4:0 mesq: Another match to watch. Although I think hx ain't gonna stand a chance vs the good playing 141. Team - Helix is also playing with 2 new additions, Sanda and Spirea. It will take some time to get used to each other. But Team - Helix will put up a good fight but will lose, close in a decider, 4-2 for one4one. Raveneye: Helix is trying to mix up some germany and finnish ego which doesnt prevent 141 from bashing them pretty easily. Their style of play is so irritating and effective that they should be clear winners in this match. Helix is too new team to break that style of play. 4-0 for 141_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Predictions
Toxic: I think pingwins will win, got no reasoning to it tho :D just a feeling ^^ gifty: elite just won the OC, they might still feel the power of that big hype, I would say 4 : 2 for elite. sqzz: Close game in my opinon, Pingwins, if on form. will take this game, not easy, but will take it, 4-2 to pingwins. kot: ping - elite 4:2 mesq: This is probaly also going to be a one sided match. pingwings will win this match with 4-0 Raveneye: And yet more teams which I havent ever seen or atleast I dont recall playing against these ones. Elite has counter-strike for formula 1 and some neverheards against pingwins guys which I have even heard when I played long time ago. They have a nice name too, so pingwins for the win 4-0_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Round 2 games will start from Wednesday with hopefully more great matches between some of the best teams in the game. To see the full fixture list, teams and groups you can view these on the cup pages on the Impact Gaming website.

plus he was warping on lan as well together with ff-mrozu (300 ping)
gL vae.
Impact vs TLR will certainly be very interesting - ironic that m1lk plays his ex-team in his first official for impact. I'm really not sure which way this will go, just depends how the teams play on the day :D
mesq: "NETRunners are a strong team. But I doubt they were active the last 2 weeks. They didn't pracc that much I guess."
err... They were certainly very active last week. Every team I specced seemed to prac vs NETR :D
Raveneye (on Pingwins): "And yet more teams which I havent ever seen or at least I dont recall playing against."
err... I've specced you prac vs pingwins at least once, and I'm pretty sure talking to Lightning and Tiigeri you've played them two or three times.
gl TLR
attention whore ?
Well eVo decided
Unluckily for ET, PB is a joke and everyone and their grandma can avoid it.
