CB ET NationsCup XVI: Second Matchweek

The second matchweek of the ClanBase ET NationsCup XVI will come to an end on Monday 11th. All unscheduled matches have been forced to the last proposal or to the deadline.


This week's games will be played on frostbite and sw_goldrush_te. Let's take a look at a couple matches, as well as another close-up look at our second "Match of the Week"!



Note that a few first matchweek games will be played this weekend as well:



The second "Match of the Week" actually is a game from the first matchweek, but it should be an exciting one regardless. On Sunday 10th at 19:00 CET, setup's Team Portugal and konstantin's Team Russia will face each other to likely determine which of these two nations from Group B will be advancing to the Playoffs!




We've managed once again to conjure up some predictions for this week's "Match of the Week". Here's what several members of our lovely community have to say about versus .

Well, both countries are good, but i'll bet on Portugal since some of their players participated in the past EC. also Russians players are not that active. 4-0 Portugal

Quote by rNz

Will be a tight match between two very level sides but I think russia will win 4-2 in the end.

Quote by sCope

Going to be a tight game for sure, but I guess that Team Portugal players are a bit more experienced. 4-2 Portugal

Quote by Sinnsyk

Team Russia plays more games togheter so they got better teamplay. One question: Where is Mirror? Without him it will be harder to win this match 4:0. Anyway i dont think so that team Portugese can win. My predictions: 4:2 for team Russia.

This is gonna be a tight match. Some players from team russia have been playing together for a long now and are playing really nice against strong teams. Team Portugal got some nice names in the team, but I don’t know about the team play, time will tell. I expect a 4-2 win for team Portugal, just because of their experience on top level.

Quote by Swanidius

Well going to be hard one for portugal. I expect russies to lotto win 1 map and score will be 4-2 for portugal. Russies have played a lot but they are despite bad :(

Quote by t4Mj

Expect some nice teamplay by team Russia since its mostly former of team etcfg, anyway I bet Portugal will do their best and will try to take this in big. As far I remember Portugal won only one match last year in groupstages, so I guess now its time for some payback. In my opinion players to watch? Fubor from team Russia and setup from team Portugal, anyway I bet ag0n can give decent play in this match too.

Quote by Thomm

well, not sure how team portugal has pracced, they got few great inviduals whom could turn the much around... BUT! Russia has a solid team-play and some occasional skillers. In my opinion it will be a solid victory for the Russians. Unless something weird happens and setup gets few 6-men-kills.

Good luck to each and every team!
