EC: Rockit vs. Power Gaming

The Clanbase Eurocup Invites and Qualifications are online since a few days and the first matchweek is fully underway. Ultraviolet Gaming already played their qualification game against turbot and won with a good 4:2. Other teams still have to show what they are made of and two of them will fight for an Eurocup spot tonight.

Power Gaming have to face the all-German lineup of Team Rockit right at 22.00 CET. Both sides are known for their excellent teamplay, experience and aim but as in every other game just one can win the battle.
So without further ado here are the team`s statements:

I'm excited to play this important game. We haven't been very stable last weeks as we came back from inactivity. Rockit is always a nice team to play against, they have both good teamplay and aim. Players to watch should be Jo0f and Kresti. I predict a 4-2 win for us. GL HF to all players and specs - Jere

Well first of all, I am happy about the current development of the rockit squad. The team gets better day by day and is well prepared for this matchup. Now a few words about Power-Gaming: Another great name joining the ET community. I know the FiF squad and they did brilliant in the past. Their biggest plus is their consistency over the last years. If you play together for such a long time, picking up the teamplay should not be as hard as it would be for a newly formed team. Altho I have not seen them play lately, I am sure this will be a powerful match with hopefully a rocking finish. Will be an interesting and exiting one for sure! - shmoe

In case you are not familiar with the lineups I will post it once again:

Power Gaming: ins, Jere, Jo0f, siL, vANQ
Team Rockit: gr0ss, FLoPJEHZ, KRESTi, s1LENT, sTOWNAGE

So head over to the GamesTV.org page and grab an ETTv-IP, your Coke and some chips. Have a nice evening and enjoy the show!

To complete the post I gathered some community opinions:

Gonna be a great match, even if pwr are playing tobether since years I doubt that they can be able to beat rockit's team, gonna be a tough match but I expect rockit to win it by 4-2 - karnaj

I think Rockit will take this one. I haven't played Power Gaming myself nor did I see them play, so it's kinda hard to say if they are a real matchup for Rockit. But Power Gaming have played for so long together, even if they just started again after a big break, they might just surprise us tonight! I do still think the German domination will continue after winning UK, so my guess is 4 - 0 for Rockit, good luck to both! - Ati_

I've not seen much from power gaming recently and I fear that their best times are behind them as their enthusiasm and motivation isn't the same as it was years ago, also not playing with Worm plays a huge part. Where as rockit, with a very similar lineup to this, won themselves a spot in speed-link. Saying that, in today's game, rockit are pretty strong so I expect them to win 4-0, or if Jere plays well 4-2 - toxic

I have played a pracc against both teams. Rockit are playing well together and FLoPJEH is just awesome. PG is a good team as well but they didn't play for a while (as far as I know). It will be a nice match to watch and a very close game but Rockit will take it 4-2. Players to watch: Jere / FLoPJEH!2 - SIMOON

I expect a tight and thrilling match between two teams who both base their good performence on well established teamplay over the years that the individual players play together. Eventhough they have not played with this exact lineup for too long, I still think they have already figured their tactics out well enough to make this a real challenge. My bet: 4-2 for rockit! - eiM
