EuroCup: Playoffs kickoff

To everything comes an end and so it did for the groupstages as sunday Impact and FatGames played the very last match. The match was quite highly anticipated as it was going to be the match of group B. Unfortunately though, FatGames weren't exactly up for the challenge and were overcome by the allstar lineup of Impact quite comfortably. That left FatGames in second placing for their group meaning they were to take it up against the team that placed first in group A, MegaProGaming.

lineups:

FatGames
FG - s4rna
FG - kot
FG - buzka
FG - Holz
FG - urtier
FG - mAus

MegaProGaming
pro - wEAK
pro - haZer
pro - butchji
pro - Clown
pro - razz
pro - potter

As said FatGames, even though they won the rest of their games, were put aside rather easily by Impact. Although I am not entirely sure I am assuming they today again have to play without their team leader sol which doesnt quite add to their chances. MegaProGaming on the other side have been looking very strong indeed throughout the entire groupstages and after their latest very powerful display versus Incomplete!, surely they will be able to take this one away as well?

Predictions:

I think it's gonna be an easy one for mPG. So 4-0 for them after FG got bashed on both maps.

I haven't really had time to watch any ETTV games lately and we haven't been praccing with vae so actually I don't have any idea about the current shape of these two teams. By just looking at the names I'd see fatgames as a clear favourite to win this game, but the core of mpg has been playing together for so long time already that I'd think their teamplay is currently on a better level. I think this game will be a close one and it'll most likely go to 3rd map, which I think mpg will manage to win and beat fatgames 4-2.

This one isn't map dependant I think. MegaProGaming seems to have more teamplay than FatGames do, judging from the pracs we played against both teams plus their gunpower is overall stronger I'd say. I don't think fatgames will be able to take a map from them, 4-0 to mpg

On a sidenote for those interested, tonight the match between Vicious & Evil and muse is also on schedule for the ESL EMS qualifiers. Aparently the ESL admins have not added it on gamestv. If interested you can hop by on #gamestv.org (quakenet) and see if you can get the ETTV info.

Good luck both teams!
