EXRTCWCup - Intermediate Standings
During this fourth matchweek I have decided to make a breakdown of the games so far. Additionally I would like to remind all teams that all groupmatches need to be played by the 8th of december.

Leading and probably untouchable are KiH with two wins out of their two games. The return of arne and the potential comeback of refuse might be what KiH were missing during the last cups to finally end up on top again.
The battle for the second and third place however is still underway and everything is possible.
The biggest surprise of the cup so far is definitely caves victory over fixed. After their disapointing performance in RTCW-Cup III the hungarians have improved a lot and currently hold the second place in group A.
iAm disapointed so far but the team has already proven in previous cups that they can beat everyone and they can still move on to the playoffs by beating cave and Sexy Lovers.
Also the underdogs Sexy Lovers are surely capable of causing an upset. The team lead by FF-legend Frag'Stealer! around the former diversus players kot, buzka and robol has only played KiH until now so that it is hard to estimate their skill at the moment.

Both Highbot and 118 are undefeated so far and both teams already qualified for the playoffs. What might appear to have been a walkover for both in reality involved some really close and challenging games.
It was skk! consisting of current Enemy Territory Eurocup-finalists perfo, meez and wiaderko who first pinched a round from Highbot and then almost went to a decider against 118 in a very close game. But it was crumbs with some great individual actions who saved the game:
Even liquids impressed taking a round on base in their match against Highbot and they can still challenge skk! for the third place.
The fifth team in the group is Element aR who at the most have a outside chance. Still if slajdan, nordan and the others can convey their Enemy Territory experiance to RTCW we could see some good games.

Chaos the former raw team have proven themselves and have shown they are still strong even with the recent lineupchanges by destroying Rewind on frostbite and ice. Most notably urtier did a great job showing some nice aim and well placed strikes.
On the other side only night played up to full potential. Chaos clearly exposed Rewinds lack of practise and preparation which they will certainly need more of if they want to do well in the playoffs.
Although they have to get past the estonians first. This should be a doable task however since Circle of Haste have failed to impress so far losing both their matches against Chaos and Fallanx.
[MAD] - a shrubteam making their first steps into osp-competition are unlikely to influence the outcome of the group but they can hopefully get some experiance for the following cups :)

The first two spots in group D will be played out between No Pressure and JeanRoucasFans.
Replacing syL who left for Rewind Mystic only recently made his comeback into RTCW. Having him kris, mirage and jauhis No Pressure combine some of the best aiming players in the game.
On the contrary we have former svperfrogs aRno, maxuh, mote and momo who surely won't be intimidated by those names. They have not had much practise though so No Pressure look to be the favorites going into the match.
The other decisive game in the group will be played between indomitus and PMCG. The winner of the match will move to the playoffs while the loser is out.
Both teams have not performed at their best yet so it is likely going to to be a close game.
