Crunch Time! ClanBase NationsCup

Group B goes down to the wire tonight in this the penultimate match week of the group stages. Following the United Kingdom's surprise victory over Finland last night they've thrown open the gates on any sense of normality and left all three qualifying places up for grabs. The big four have been decided, but who will be the unlucky loser that just misses out?

Group B has been the shining beacon of this seasons ClanBase NationsCup. It was billed in the tournament preamble "group of death", and has lived up to that billing spectacularly. To date both of the group favourites, Finland and Netherlands, have lost at least one match. The only team to as yet have a perfect record in the competition being tonights competitors and perhaps new group favourites, Czech Republic.

The Czech's have impressed this time round, performing heroics in overcoming initially the dogmatic Brits, and more impressively, taking down the Dutch. They've played three won three and currently sit top of Group B - though strangely, as yet not guaranteed a playoff spot!

It's tonights challengers that could throw this group on its head once more. Should they replicate their impressive performance against the UK on Delivery, they can at the very least force a decider. What this decider will be will surely determine not just the fate of these two teams, but of the group as a whole.

One thing can be certain, tonights winners will guarantee their place in the latter stages. Tune in from 22:00 CET!

Not satisfied with only offering that great tie, GamesTV and ClanBase have again teamed up to showcase two other great matches as a warmup to the match of the night. Starting from 21:00 it's up to you the viewer to chose your poison and catch one of either Germany or Estonia in match week four of this NC.

Estonia have so far played two, won one lost one - and tonight will endeavor to climb into the all important third place qualifying position in the group, which a win tonight will ensure. Hungary have struggled to date this season, failing as yet to take a map, let alone a match and so will not fancy their chances against the old giants of Enemy Territory.

Running consecutively Germany look to continue their domination of Group D with what should be an easy win over Slovenia tonight. Even Quakecon champion jackazc will be hard pressed to carry his team against the might of the Germans tonight.
