The underdogs of this match are SPEEDLINK, on paper Impact have the stronger side, but they have had a final 2 lineup changes, Meez & hayaa replacing Winghaven and sNoOp. The community has yet to see this lineup perform and it will be the first time you can see the Impact AEF Lineup play so questions may be asked to whether the Impact side will be strong enough to beat SpeedLink after all the lineup changes.

The odds on GamesTV.org are in favour of the Impact team, eventhough Impact have had some worrying results in the groupstages due to lineup problems, it seems like the communtiy believe the proposal of Adacore to take Meez and eVo to take hayaa in the lineup might finally pay off, and the team seems much more balanced now.

The winner of this match will advance to the second round to face the currently unbeatable force of idle.ee who have had a perfect clean sheet up till now in this EC. On the other hand, the looser team will drop to the loser bracket and will face the loser of colt45 vs zZz/Fintastic5.

duKe_:"We are good in shape atm and if we can get up our performance like in the last pracs we will deliver. Everyone who played us recently can easierly sign up on this. Eventhough Impact is a strong opponent, we are pretty confident to take a 4:2 victory in this match.
But at the end, the daily performance will make the difference. So all i can say is, that this will be an intense and exciting match."
R0SS:"Well after the recent lineup changes we seemed to have settled and have started performing quite well in pracs. However, SL are a strong team with a core lineup that has been around for a while - but i still feel confident with the way that we are playing. I predict a 4-2 win for us."

Prediction

SPEEDLINK have been quite stable and practiced a lot while Impact have had multiple lineup changes but have been practicing with this lineup for over a week, I believe that Impact have had enough time to get their stuff together and will secure a tight 4-2 win
