20.42 CET: Team Clown won - so Clown and Night will meet up in the Grand Final!

20.30 CET: With 7:50 left on the clock Team-Clown was able to build the crane controls. Seems like a pretty good time if they can escort the truck...
20.24 CET: Team-FLoPJEHZ vs. Team-Clown is currently running with Clown winning sw_Goldrush_te and attacking on Supply now. If FLoPJEHZ and his crew can`t increase their teamplay Clown will walk with his army to the big final and fight against Night and co.

The gamestv odds seem stacked in Team-Night's favor, and probably quite deservedly. Having multi LAN winning players in the lineup with Night, sQUALL and urtier will give them a great experience boost in games, hopefully freeze, Raul and koop can all meld together quickly giving them the best chance to win. Find out more about Team-Night.

Seemingly up against it, Team-an7ho will want to show what they are made of with a bunch of players who although may not have the masses of experience of their opponents they have the big bonus of an7ho, zMk, joshua, SQuid and bN having played together in more recent times. Potter brings experience but perhaps a dated style of play, lets hope he can adapt quickly on the night. Find out more about Team-an7ho.

saKen

Team-Jere are favored on gamestv going into this game, having a mix of talent and experience it could be the recipe for success come Thursday night. With NuggaN and phyZic adding a lot of aiming power and twidi blowing up all the objectives it leaves Matias to freeroll which is what he has done so well at in the past. AL1 backs it all up with some reviving and to top it off Jere will be on the rifle - this is quite a potent lineup indeed. Find out more about Team-Jere.

Then we have Team-Kevin who has probably the more experienced lineup with Iron, dialer and butchji all being Crossfire LAN winners as well as the talented Belgians Kevin and Gifted attending multiple LAN events and probably the most active player in the team and E-Series LAN winner saKen, although it will be hard for them writing them off would be a mistake. Find out more about Team-Kevin.

sTOWNAGE

Team-stRay has a nice mix of aim, team play and spam as they will hope to take down their opponents, with them being seen as favorites at this point on gamestv - don't let the odds fool you, this will be an extremely difficult match up for both teams. The team boasts aiming prowess in kReSti, perfo and FireBall and with the support and spam work from stRay, kiwi and mant they could have the right mix to get the job done.

Some people are ranking Team-Clown as early favorites comparing them to the former aMenti lineup that was so successful in the past due to them having Clown, XyLoS and dAv1d, although the Belgian is not as active and sharp as he once was he is always up for a game and will not be a silent supporting act in the team. Germans Bl4d3 and sTOWNAGE will add good activity as well as aim and reviving skills and lastly monkey will do his best to fit into the team and replicate performances he has made for teams like Squad.ee.

Team-FLoPJEHZ seem to be the dark horse team of the tournament as they were voted second least likely team to win in a recent poll. Considering the team boasts some amazing aim in sNoOp as well as great all-round players in subbi, palemki and ZaK a probably the biggest breakout rifle in recent years FLoPJEHZ has really made a name for himself since the last Clanbase Nationscup - rounding off the team is a great medic in Sup3r, I tip the team to make the final if not win. Find out more about Team-FLoPJEHZ.

miNd went for a more Finnish lineup selecting Multiple EC Winners Sample and Vanhaomena as well as altsi. Experienced old player Leonneke adds a balanced approach to the lineup with griim topping it off with some medic'ing and supreme aim. The lineup on the day will probably struggle a bit due to inactivity but anything is possible considering the wealth of experience in this and every lineup. Find out more about Team-miNd.
