rockit 5v5 ET-Cup - Semifinals!

The semifinals are about to come. After some very intense and exciting matches just four teams survived the straight knockout mode. The Cup started on yesterday evening with four qualification matches. All of them started as supposed @ 19.30 CET and with Squad.ee, Highbot and pstarZ the favourites won. Just the sublime vs. Be.Fraternity match was hard to evaluate and the result was very close but sublime was a bit better. Thus we had our four qualification teams and the real first round started with a short delay. ET fans were able to follow some matches live via GamesTv and I am sure a lot of you tuned in to the BB vs. e2 game at least I hope so because it was a hell of a match. e2 was able to take a map and forced BB to play the decider. On the 3rd map BB turned upward and won the game with 4:2. Other things to mention from round1 were a very close game between aTo0n and sublime and nOu vs. Highbot. Although aTo0n and nOu won the games their opponents were able to give them a good fight. All quarter-finals were broadcasted by GamesTV.org and once again we were able to spectate some very tight games. To name just one of them: dNan vs. nOu. Some actions from Radar are still in my mind - really enjoyed to ref that game. Now enough text. Check out the brackets for the remaining four teams and fixtures and dont forget to tune in at 20.00 CET and right after the semifinals to the grand final (proposed to be played around 21.15 CET!) and click the read more button to get crumbs prediction about the upcoming matches!

BB vs squad.ee

I can't see button bashers losing this game, even if they muck up frostbite, they will still win supply and radar, as they have much more experience. Clown will deliver!

Prediction:
BB 4:0: squad.ee



aToOn vs nOu

This game is slightly harder to predict, Both teams have strong aiming lineups, but I think zMk will provide the difference with the rifle on the first two maps. I would say atoOn must win frostbite to take the game to radar, as I can't see nOu losing supply. I remember praccing vs atoOn on radar so maybe they are well prepared for it, and we could see a close third round.

Prediction:
nOu 4:2 atoOn
