Indeed, the title says it all as tonight brings another two big matches to your screen. It is time to round up the first groupmatches round and these four teams still have their parts to play.
Yesterday evening saw, to some surprisingly, ephix take a round versus the Finnish side of vae but eventually bowing out with a 4-2 win for the Finns. Then there were ze yermans of MegaProGaming who did what they had to and took a relatively easy win against the 8Bits team. Very interesting was the game between cortana and Fear Factory X-Fi as the Poles definitely put their shoulders in to it and showed everyone that they are here to stay. Even though still very early in the groupstage, it seems FF are likely to be pushing through to the playoffs if they keep up their game.
But that was all yesterday and as said, there are three games left to be played for the first round two of which are due tonight!
Now the Croatians, the Poles, the Finns and the Germans all had their turn it is time for the Dutchies of Team Coolermaster to show some action as they are to take it up against the second Finnish team of this Eurocup in the form of incomplete. The Dutchies who have just recently switched from their former orga overload to the well known TCM, will have to live up to the expectations that come with the name. Their lineup suggest that they will have no problem whatsoever in doing so but other than the fact that incomplete are definitely a side to reckon with, TCM still lack a proper rifle and have yet to show their real worth as so far they never really stepped up to show what they are made of.
Incomplete on the other hand basically go in to this one as the underdogs but have always been a side to keep an eye on and with the recent addition of kmble to their lineup they are looking stronger than ever!

When I joined #incomplete! on IRC I found Raptor willing to give me his expectations for this evening:
Personally I don't know what to expect. We have only once played against TCM before and to be honest aren't in our best shape at the moment. I think we would still need some more time playing together with kmble. Anyway, I guess it's going to be a close one.

Captain Perfo had the following to say:
Tonight our lineup will miss BuLL. The farmer had to wash some cows tonight so he's unavailable, too bad but shit happens. I feel confident about radar however braundorf is a map that shouldn't be featured in any EC on any game. Let's just hope incomplete is a tad unluckier tonight so we can forcefully take the win on that map, so we can always fuck up on radar
The player to watch for this match I think would be kmble
Since this is his first official outing again since he last went inactive, he may still be a bit rusty but if he manages to get things together he may be able to go huge for his team against the Dutchies!

Next up is the much anticipated lineup of Impact Gaming going up against last season's premier cup winners Tag.
Tag, who have just recently picked up a relatively easy win versus cortana in the EMS qualifier series are going in to this as the underdogs but the team is not known to go down without a good fight. Their lineup boosts quite a fair bit of experience and since they dont have a lot to loose they may be able to cause an upset this evening.
Impact have been in the headlines a lot this past week as they lost their Belgian star mAus to FatGames. After a few days of desperate search for a replacement they now came out on top of things as they have added none other than snoop.

I caught up with QuadV|TosspoT to give his prediction for this match:
I cant see past the quality of Impact, that lineup is Idle + Toxic basically, and Idle + Toxic = bloody good. Sure they've had some changes recently and I doubt they're practicing all the time but thats not going to stop them beating a TAG's side who's nature at formation was a mix team.
The player to watch for this game would obviously be TBA!

Another evening full of ETTV action and you will even be able to follow one of both on QuadV.
Incomplete and TCM will be fighting it out to determine which team will put themselves up on top together with MegaProGaming whilst Impact-Gaming will be looking to prove the expectations are right and will try to overcome Tag as smoothly as possible.
After tonight there will be just one match left for the first round (questionable versus n1ce) which will leave us with a very nice impression on how this groupstage will probably unfold.
