Thursday: Speedlink vs. OVERLOAd

It could be the comeback of the year. OVERLOAd dominated tMoe who finished 3rd at CiC7 in their first match in EC XXI. Can Speedlink stop ‘Team-mAus’ or will it be a walk in the park for the belgians ? Find out tonight !

OVERLOAd

The belgians, formerly known as Team-EDiT are back. After the big fail in the last Clanbase EuroCup they are trying to get their reputation as one of the best ET teams back. Some have already forgotten the scandal one and a half year ago and thats probably the best way as one can say it was a . mistake. The addition of chry seem to make them stronger than before. After a successful lan with Rockit, mAus is in good shape and thats a big factor if you want to win versus OVERLOAd. If you can stop mAus, you can beat them. If not, enjoy your ride to hell.

Team SPEEDLINK

The best german team at the moment is slowly getting in shape. The first offis didnt went as good as they expected, but the last game vs Frogz showed that one must not forget Speedlink if you think about the EuroCup playoffs. Bl4d3 and kReSti, who finished 4th with Team Germany in the current NationsCup, duKe_, an oldschool player with huge experience and good gamesense, FLoPJEHZ, who can easily be considered as one of the most constant rifles in the game, and last but not least, sTOWNAGE, the allrounder and teamplayer, seem to have found out how to play successful together and are surely willing to prove themselves.



Speedlink talked to Crossfire’s new coverage god Beggin about the match tonight:

The new SPEEDLINK team hasn't had the opportunity to shine yet. Not because they can't, but simply because they haven't had a single demanding match. The team doesn't have the same star players as their opposition tonight, however that doesn't mean the German players can be underestimated. The lineup consists of players with previous LAN and EuroCup experience which will prove useful for tonight's game. Furthermore, the team have had the added benefit of participating with a similar lineup in the ClanBase NationsCup and took an unexpected 4-2 win against Team Poland.

On the other hand, we have the Belgian superstar team OVERLOAd who have delivered fantastic results for their organisation online as well as at LAN. The lineup has seen the recent addition of chry who proved his worthiness of such a demanding team during their dominating performance against tMoe. Just like SPEEDLINK, OVERLOAd are participating in the Clanbase NationsCup with a familiar lineup which will certainly aid them in tonight's game.

Both teams are currently active in several leagues and have produced some terrific results. OVERLOAd does have the added benefit of playing together for several years, however a long break from the scene may call it a day for the Belgians with the new German team raging to snatch their glory. Tonight's game will arguably be Team Germany against Team Belgium with the added motivation of participating in ET's most reputable online league. If you like close and intense matches down to the last minute, make sure you tune in for tonight's game. The match starts 1 hour before the highlight game with TAG vs Team Dignitas, so there's plenty of time to catch both matches in their full triumph.

Final result? Expect the unexpected!
