EC XVII ET Grand Final Tonight!

After many matches, some forfeits and a column by TosspoT, our current EC season is coming to a close. What many people expected to be a fantastic season, has turned out to be a disappointment, after dropouts due to lack of motivation, many losses due to what is clearly a lack of practice, and even removal from the cup due to the likes of gnajda! We can only hope that what remains in the final will please both the players and the spectators, and redeem what has so far been a poor season.

The lineups of the teams will be:
megaProGaming
Clown
wEAK
butchji
haZer
razz
potter

Impact
toxic
sNoOp
drago
Mztik
Reload
Winghaven

As the lineups show, impact have been forced to use a merc due to what toxic has stated is summer inactivity. Whether or not this will be a deciding factor in the outcome of the match is yet to be seen.

Match predictions from the following people can be seen below:

hentai: I'd have to say that as brilliant as some of the impact players, missing certain core players and most certainly showing a lack of practice, the result will favor mpg. 4:2 to mpg

Mztik: Well it's difficult to say both teams haven't been practicing with very few officials. Both teams have allstar line ups and what it's going to come down to in the end isn't really who's the better team but rather how many players are on/off form. In the end however it's going to be a close game regardless and hopefully the coverage and some clutch players will make it all the more entertaining. 4:2 to impact

Matias: It is really hard to say which team is gonna win, because both teams have very skilled and experienced players. Impact is unbeatable at maps where spam is important, but if it comes to aim then mpg will be stronger. As far as i know mpg have practiced a bit and impact hasn't at all. 4:2 to mpg

gmx: Both teams are capable of winning, they've both got skilled players, but since I didn't see either of them praccing a lot last few weeks I guess experience will make the difference tonight. 4:0 to impact

Whilst the predictions show relatively contrasting results, it's worth noting that impact will need to win twice against mpg in order to win the EC, due to coming to the final from the lower bracket.
