Fast-paced ET action tonight!

Yesterday we have seen many deciding CB NationsCup matches with all games ending in a clear 4:0 on paper. But I have watched some maps and can say that some fights were really exciting and some underdogs were nearly able to get it to a 3rd map. Unfortunately the cherry on top was absent and thus we do have 13 out of 16 playoff teams in the front line and tonight will bring us another contestant either Italy or Austria. The match is played on Adlernest and sw_goldrush_te but this clash is made for a decider map although the odds on GamesTV are at the moment in favor of Team Italy. Both teams got excellent aimers and long time players like Xylos or potter and besides one can find some up and coming talents like Stevji or joey to name just a few. Head over to our partner site and save the ETTv-IP to tune in right at 22.00 CET to not miss this challenging match!

Additionally we will have another great match on our radar. The team looking to act out Czech in tonights second clash are the players of Brazil. The game should start at the same time but with different maps. Radar and Missile are forced and even though the Czech Republic is already qualified the Brazil comrades will try to keep their heads by winning their last game or at least one map!

ITA vs AUT: This seems to be one of the very few games in the group stage that are hard to predict. I don't know everyone in the lineups, but they seem to be pretty even with XyLoS rising above the rest and AUT having a slightly more balanced lineup. The game will probably be a 3-mapper and I'm predicting Italy to win it 4-2. CZE vs BRA: Brazilians didn't even bother to try against Finland so not sure what their attitude will be towards this game. Czech are by far the better team and even if Brazilians would do their best it wouldn't most likely be enough here. A clear 4-0 victory for Czech. - twidi

We played both ITA and AUT in group stage and they seem to play on a similar level, so I think it is going to be a tight game with 4-2 for Italy. Czechs shouldn't have any troubles to win over Brazil - 4-0 jalo! - fanatic

Anyone who says the Italy and Austria match isn't going to be close must be deluded! I think Italy should be favourites, purely in the form of Xylos. Not to knock Austria as they do have the veteran and dsky owner Potter, but also scorch who has established himself as a pretty solid aimer. It’s weird but I’m going to say 4-2 to either team...That’s how close it’s going to be!
CZE vs. Brazil: This should be pretty easy for the Czech’s! Jalo should be on fire as usual, however the only hindrance I can see is in the ping’s of Brazil. Can an upset be on the cards? Who knows! I say 4-0 to Czech Republic! koop

Italy vs Austria: An exciting match between two pretty equal teams. As Ukraine got kicked cause of one stupid hackerkid, its the big fight for second spot. If Xylos plays, Italia will do some good damage, but I believe the skill & experience from potter and DonM will make it for Austria. Two close maps will still end in favour of Austria - 4:0.
Czech vs Brazil: This will unfortunately not be as exciting as the match mentioned above. Czech Republic did a solid work against Israel, and will have no problems handling a high-pinging brazilien lineup. Easy 4:0 to the Republic. - Snuble

Italy and Austria are both fighting for a 2nd place which can lead them into the playoffs, they have both lost to Poland. Considering the lineup and experience I think Austria gonna win 4-2 (perhaps 4-0 depending on their lineup). CZE vs Brazil will be an easy game for Cze. They have been playing together for a long time and their teamplay will lead them to a 4-0. Good luck for Brazil brothers anyway! - ag0n

I'm not into scene nowadays but considering I can't recall any active Italian players I guess Austria will take it 4-2. Czechs should take this one without bigger problems , I guess 4-0. frozz
