Match Stats Player Stats

The game started at a mile a minute and continued right until the end, it was an absolute thriller! zP looked to have been absorbed in their first attack on Supply before a shock flag grab saw them turn the tables and plant top and bottom. However once top had blown, impact grabbed the flag bag and defused the bottom only for zP to counter and grab top and push forward before then reclaiming bottom. They went on to set an 8 minute time with some important panzer dodging from Keran to aid their cause. Impact attacked steadily and made the most of a weak middle stage to win with 40 seconds to spare, both sides enjoying fruitful times on Allies and left with questions about their Axis play.
Impact tore through the zP radar defence taking the command post in 2 attacks, after that it was balls to the wall for zP and after just 4 minutes were called into a heart pounding document relay with 3 individual grabs and relays in the space of minute. They were finally defeated with a time of 8 minutes to beat. They started well, but couldnt get back into the game with just one grab on the west radar.
Impact face Dignitas the CPC2 group stages in 2 weeks, dont miss it!

Pre Game Preview

Tonight sees a potential epic game between two of the biggest teams in ET.

Sweden zeroPoint gaming are yet to drop even a round so far in this ET masters tournament and although they have had a slight dip in form in recent games it cant be denied that they are still looking extremely strong. Many were watching to see if Sweden Fette would be able to make a seamless transition into the squad and although they took the win against United Kingdom Auxilia they still lost in their game vs. Poland Netrunners in their money stakes game.

United Kingdom Impact recently took their first clean 4:0 win against an understrength Germany VaE side who were still reeling from the loss of their hitman Finland Squalii. With newcomer Netherlands M1lk now having played for Impact for a number of games, is this Impact squad finalling finding the teamplay to match their visible firepower. If so we could be in for a stunning game tonight.


Predictions:[/u]


This match can go either way. Ive bet my gbooky money on zP, mostly because the odds was good, but allso because i belive Impact still need more time before they will beat the best clans. zP is still among the top 3 teams, so i belive zP will win this


As much as i would like zP, i will say that impact could win today. It will be tough for them, but they can come out as winners with 4:2, also i hope this motivates zP to play better than vs NETR :-)


Impact should be able to win. If zP takes some lotto map like frostbite it could go to a decider. If not, Impact should take it 4:0. They are pracing quite a lot in the last time and zP did not show a good performance in their recent matches.


Seeing how Impact beated vae last time i think they pretty much found their teamplay and game going, this match is going to be very close... 4-2 for Impact is my guess.


Even though i really would like to see zP winning this match they might have a huge problem with that according to their latest results and form, that's why i think the score will be 4:2 to Impact


Well due to the fact I haven't raised enough funds to send potter's ati crossfire t-shirt back yet, I'm going to try an appease his soul by going for the zeropoint win. That isn't my only reason. Yes, I know that Impact have the almighty mystic, but this isn't the team he's played in all his life. Impact had a bit of a wobble against Morrigu, having to rely on a 3rd map to stay in the winner's bracket, not to mention the same happening win cZar and a 4-0 loss to a team they should be on par with TLR. zP meanwhile have killed pingwins, elite and KiH and are clearly the form team, so I'm going with them.

Should be a very tight game and specially interesting because these 2 clans haven't faced each others yet on any official. I guess that zP will take this one tho, 4-0 or 4-2.

This match is a coinfilp, either team could win
either team can win but its definitely not a coinflip - victory will be decided by each players' performance in this day :)
Parent
Yes, but from the point of a gambler it really is ;)
Parent
you're right :)
Parent
crls the poker pwnzor is always right !! :)

squall = mztik?!
nice foonr telling the exact opposite than the others
4-0 impact
great game
mystic uber alles
mystic can make 3hs kill with 1 bullet
mystic can kill enemy with kinife who's on the other side of the map
mystic's mistakes are not mistakes but diversions that confuse the enemy
mystic is simply the best

i'm not a fanboy, i'm just stating the facts

Parent
well thanks to both of you then. Was really nice to come on and be able to get the cast and the ETTV replay straight away, and a nice writeup too.
