Tuesday: Belgian Fraternity vs 1stCav eSports Club

image: esl_vi

Last night's ClanBase NationCup game was quite absurd, amusing match. Estonia took on Poland with a last minute mix team from the scraps on IRC, where the Pols performed with a rather familiar and comfy lineup - if only their performance was a pair. Estonia won all three maps, but yet they only won by 4-2. Why? The cheeky devils thought they could sneak a very naughty Swedish player (nordaN) into the lineup; under Killerboy's supervision! Crazy, I know. Needless to say, the team were penalised by the Maltese admin and automatically "lost" Goldrush, but yet went on to set an astonishing time of 1:03 on Adlernest and 5:33 on Supply. If an angry Polish team isn't bad enough, how about an angry Canadian team? A similar situation arose last year and resulted in a disqualifcation for Team Canada. However, team Estonia are able to continue in this season's ClanBase NationCup without disqualification. Nevertheless, the drama delivered a pretty damn entertaining match, witnessed by an impressive 427 spectators!

Hopefully we will see a more "respectable" match tonight in the ESL Major Series VI Qualifiers Lower Bracket Final.

Belgium Belgian Fraternity
The Belgium team have delivered a few unexpected surprises both online and offline. They have a reputation for a team not to be underestimated with the results to prove so. An impressive 4-2 win over Finland Vicious and Evil has certainly not gone unnoticed by the community. Despite their marvellous performance, Belgian Fraternity met their match against another familiar Belgian team - Belgium OVERLOAd. They were thrashed 4-0 by the rival Belgians just under a month ago which has prevented them from winning 6 matches in a row.

Poland 1stCav eSports
Tonight, the Belgians will be facing no other than the Polish side 1stCav eSports. Both teams are arguably identical, producing some spectacular and shock results over the current season. Both teams have managed to take a win over the powerful Finnish lineup Finland Vicious and Evil, however 1stCav eSports were also able to take a staggering win against a fellow Polish team, Poland diversus. On paper, diversus should have taken the match with ease, but after months of inactivity new talent will eventually prevail. If all goes to plan, we can expect an intense and close match between the Polish and Belgian teams.

When will these quali's finish? Has been going on for more then a month or so? x))
na deze game nog de big final
Parent
Oei! Ik zit op het puntje van m'n stoel!
Parent
pas op, iets verder en je valt er af
Parent
those are the last 1-2 matches. It is a double eimination 8 team bracket and that takes some time ;)
Parent
GIVE QUALY NEXT TIME

Jo0f = bored :(
Parent
should've gotten rid of the shit teams that don';t stand a chance anyway or single elimination.. its always like this causing teams to lose interest in the tourney before it has even started
Parent
if it were single elimination alot of teams that would deserve (or have the skill) to play EMS would be eliminated by the factor of luck. Pre-seedings would decide about who gets into the groupstage and thus we could just invite 16 teams :p
Parent
you could however stop the brackets at WB final and LB semi-final or so (when there are 4 teams proven to be better than the rest)

these matches are useless anyway (only for seedings, but you could just put the WB teams and LB teams into one poule or so)

it's no whine btw, always liked ESL EMS, just suggesting some better system (imo)
Parent
that propose is a good one, is in my mind aswell. But we also have a general EMS schedule (not game related) which we try to follow at the greatest extent and put as many matches for as many teams as possible into. Might consider that for the next season, if there is one for ET :)
Parent
nice, thanks

Swedish ?
Parent
You honestly don't see the pun?
Parent
lack of phantasy
Parent
if bosshoer plays instead of phille bF will take it otherwise i cant predict :-)
Actually no, imho they wouldn't have won against vae with Phille, I've got nothing against the guy, but i've seen him play, they either wouldn't or it would be way too close for comfort, somehow you picked the rifle up quite nicely, not just because of your multikills, but your playing style is what they need and what i didn't want to give :-)
Parent
thx :)

I'll be playing for gifted tonight, so phille will be rifling, no idea how this will turn out since we've never played like this
Parent
seems like Gifted will play and I'll be rifle after all :)
Parent
gl bosssssshooeerrr :p
Parent
you didnt wanna give? :s i will give my cock to you at lan :)
Parent
go bF, make me proud once again! :o)
great news, keep it going.

think bF can get a 4-2 win here.
gl mates

...with a last minute mix team from the scraps on IRC...
