EMS with ETQW:TV premiere *up*

The second round of the ESL Major Series playoffs sees two matches being played back-to-back tonight, with one of them featuring ETQW:TV in all its glory. Now that developer Splash Damage added the long-awaited technology to the game by means of the 1.4 patch, you'll be able to watch any match live as long as its server has been set up. And this happens to be the case for one of tonight's fixtures, so be sure to head inside in order to check out all the details.

In the upper bracket, Team SPEED-LINK now awaits a standoff with Kompaniet. These Germans aren't feeling very confident either, but at least they'll have a lower bracket to fall back on. ETQW:TV has been set up for this fixture, and you can find all the details on the matchpage or here.


Update:
With one player in the hospital and having only six players in their lineup, Kompaniet is forced to use a wildcard.

I think it is not neccesary to make any challenges here. Kompaniet is one of the best teams in the world and we didnt play together since yesterday. In my opinion this will be a very short game with a clear result, 4:0 SPEED-LINK :D

It is time for our second match in the EMS playoffs and this time we are facing the strongest german team out there atm. With the release of patch 1.4, this match will be interesting in many ways. This will surely be a good match so good luck and have fun.

In the lower bracket, OCRANA faces DEFAULT.Team, after it lost to fellow German team Team SPEED-LINK in the previous round. OCRANA being in a state of collapse, chances of them winning seem slim.

2008: The disintegration continuous. We're going into this match without any train and without any of our leaders. This are the playoffs of the ESL Major Series not for nothing, so only europe's finest teams are left. Probably it won't be enough to beat cZar Gaming tonight, but we'll keep fighting. gl hf!
