Sunday: Rockit.ET vs SPEEDLINK

The pressure is on for the European mix and German team tonight. Both teams will be fighting for second place in Group C, where the winner can contiue to the final stages of the league. Has the time come for a brand new team with the rewarding teamplay that can potentially dominate the scene?

SPEEDLINK

Rumour has it SPEEDLINK is the new and upcoming underdogs in the ET scene - call them the next FiF or Masculine Mans if you will. Rumour also has it that the German team have been practicing at bootcamp - whether that's true or not we will soon find out; though, this shouldn't come as a shock to the community. SPEEDLINK recently made the Crossfire headlines with the announcement of the new aniti-cheat for ET created by chaplja on behalf of the German MGC. However, this is no amateur anti-cheat. The contracts have been exchanged between the pair and the scene is preparing for the final release that could potentially extend ET's life beyond expectations.

It is still unsure why ET has caught SPEEDLINK's eye. Perhaps our game has finally been recognised for its potential outside of the Crossfire community. If so, expect big things from the German ET team. The team are also preparing for the upcoming AEF LAN - rockit.ET certainly have a fight on their hands tonight.

rockit.ET

In a similar position to SPEEDLINK, rockit.ET's potential has certainly not gone unrecognised by the top players in the game. The team are one of the remaining few with a continuous active and stable lineup. The legendary drago from idle.ee recently spoke about the team's potential to R0SS:

"There is great potential in Team Rockit, but right now they are playing like headless chicken, I think a few weeks of Clownschool will do miracles to their players."

Perhaps those few weeks are over and rockit.ET's time has come to shine, or perhaps a few more weeks are required, leaving a tight schedule for the AEF training. Either way, the result tonight will certainly reflect the team's distance along the preparation stage. There will undoubtedly be a lot of pressure for the two teams tonight. They are fighting for second place in Group C and both teams hope to continue in the EuroCup to unleash their full potential to the community.
