Epsilon secured their place in the EuroCup playoffs, topping Group A after two flawless victories, yet both gZcon and Giants are in murky waters: last night Giants beat TAG 3-1, setting their rounds ratio to 7/5, but they might be left behind if gZcon beats Epsilon without losing a round.

Unlike Groups A and C, there is no doubt who will progress to the playoffs, yet the question remains which team will be on top, and which won't. Rage, after needing a deciding map both versus Speedlink and Overlord have to face Ewave, who unlike Rage, did not lose a single map.


I caught up with Belgium Lazio, from team Rage, and asked him about his team's performance so far, and his expectations for tonight.

We made some silly mistakes versus Overload and Speedlink in this EuroCup, but generally our play has been good enough to get us the victories in those games. I expect an intense game vs e-wave whose play is quite aim based, in other words we'll have to use all the team play we've got to get past that obstacle. So let's hope for a good game, where you'll see two different play styles going against each other.

STH who recently beat ECW will face WinFakt! which undoubtedly will be the most interesting match tonight as each round going to either team will affect all other teams as well.

There are a number of possible scenarios which each have a different outcome:
  • If STH beats WinFakt! by 4-0, they top the group and Aero will be in 2nd place, and ECW will be in 3rd.
  • If STH beats WinFakt! by 4-2, they will be in 2nd place, and Aero in 1st.
  • If STH beats WinFakt! by 3-1, then Aero will lead Group C, and it will tie Stronger Than Hate with ECW, yet STH will go through to the playoffs, as they previously beat ECW.


I found Croatia frozz and asked him how it felt returning to EuroCup after losing the qualifier match, and now, after replacing two4two, having a good chance of placing first in his group:

It was disappointing to lose the second EuroCup qualifier match, especially when a player leaves one night before an important official game, which wasn't the only problem back then since komar also wasn't available to play and we had to use a merc and mind (who at that time didn't play with us much).
We were even thinking of quitting after that loss but then nuggan joined and we felt we could do well. After few practice sessions things started to look better and we won against ECW.It actually reminds me of an old game in EuroCup, Cor vs TLR(Kreaturen) where we were also complete underdogs but we managed to win 4-2.



And your expectations tonight?

After we shamefully failed yesterday against MVP even though we started off with a pretty nice bremen attack I believe we will win tonight and I also hope it's gonna be 4-0 so we can take 1st place in the group. Radar is not going to be played so rimi won't be able to fuckup like yesterday. nuggan won't play his worst map and mind's hangover should be over by then so he also won't miss those easy rifle shots.

lion when are you gonna enter the OC scores reported in the cup forums? there are 3 week old scores that nobody bothered doing...i asked the ref with the polish name but he's too lazy to do and told me to ask you.

do your job bruv.
I know this idea might shock you, but how about contacting me via IRC with the relevant match information?
Parent
not just talking matches of my team but like 75% of the games since october 10th?
and it might shock you but experience taught me admins sooner reply on CF than on irc :)
I however applaude sczurek (? spelling sucks) for his fast reply on irc.

still, i think its kinda weird only 1 person adds the scores ;) nothing personal bruv.
Parent
hehe ecw :))
