CB ET NC - Russia vs. Poland!

by SPU9 • 5 Feb 2013, 15:52 • News
Tomorrow will bring us a nice and hopefully entertaining image: et Enemy Territory NationsCup XVI match between Russia Russia and Poland Poland. Although the bets on GamesTV.org are in huge favour of Team Poland I was in the mood to write a small preview for this clash. Let`s start with Team Russia. The Putin-Nation gathered some medals in the past CB NationsCups for CS, LoL or Q3 but they were (up to now) unable to gain an ET award and with teams from Poland and Portugal in their group it will not become a walk in the park.

Nevertheless I do see them making some damage and with a bit of luck they might be able to challenge for a 2nd group place. On the contrary we do have Poland with an excellent second place last NationsCup and by reading their lineup the polish side might be stronger than ever. The core consisting of known and experienced players (fanatic, wiaderko and dialer) and some newer talents such as Lukey, lesti and Abject - this mix is a guarantor for success - at least on paper. This is a second week game but both teams haven`t played a single round in this Years NationsCup so be around on Wednesday, 20.30 CET to watch their first encounter!

To round this newspost off I gathered some player opinions:
QuoteThis match should be one-sided, but you may never know when it comes to ET. Poland has been practicing a lot, so they'll be ready for whatever the Russians may bring, even though Poland doesn't seem sorted and ready this year. Can't see the Russians taking this, so it will be a 4:0 for Poland. - Estonia Sinnu


QuoteAnything other than a 4-0 victory for Poland would be dissapointing on their behalf, however Russia have been playing together for donkeys years so they could surprise. 4-0 for Poland, but Russia could take Frostbite so it could be 4-2. - United Kingdom fumble


QuoteUnless there were drastic improvements within the Russian player base over the last months or years, this should be a clear victory for the Polish side. - Germany urtier


QuoteWell I guess it's gonna be an easy game for PL team even if RU used to play together. However PL's last result weren't that good but I guess they just need a few praccs to get back shape and they might be in the top 3 or atleast 5 overall. 4-0 for PL - France Karnaj


QuotePoland will win 4:0, every map, but for RUS it's not about winning this one, it's just about playing as solid as they can. Hopefully, for the viewers it's not too one sided! - Latvia Clown


QuotePoland is one of the strongest teams in this tournament, it wont be easy for Russia. Thus I do expect a 4:0 for PL - Israel FrAgOn


QuoteHey normally I always gave you statements but I suggest you wait until playoffs. This match is a clear 4-0 for Poland and that's not worth writing about - Netherlands xPERiA

No? playing ODC's and asking if we could play against your nation. Might not be the same lineup always, but you're the most active NC team atm.

ye we try to gather from time to time but it's happened like 2/3 times max till now so usually the mixteam plays those cups. i don't know if it can be called an active team then, more like an active group of guys. and i see you playing a lot too :P

Yeah, doesn't look like Russia has much of a chance, however ET sometime can be unpredictable just like football, time will tell.

I think we can all somewhat agree that those are the official statements from the players. One thing however bugs me in xPERiA comment. The lack of capital letter on in the word Poland. Looks like he knows that you start a sentence with an upper case, but doesn't know that the name of a country ( any country... ) also starts with an upper case. Very disrespectful.
