EC14: Netrunners vs uQ

Today's noteworthy game comes in the form of EuroCup Fourteen, where a highflying Netrunners team comes off the back of PGA success against a somewhat turbulent uQ side who have a higher tally for roster changes than games played at the moment.

This is the first game for either side in group A, and with zeroPoint taking the early points in a hard-fought clash with Morrigu earlier in the week, both teams will be looking to record meaningful victories that would see them keep pace with the early leaders, an essential task in a group comprising of only 4 teams.

Toxic: I think that it will be a very close match as NETR proved how good they are at LAN but uQ have also been playing well and picking up a 4-2 victory over amenti recently proves that they are no pushover either. Since you are FORCING me for a prediction i'll take a risky one and put my faith in my favourite jew [yes i said jew!] lion. 4-2 win for uQ.

Melkor: Since uQ had grave lineup changes recently and NETR showed a great performance the last few games, I'd go for a 4:0 for the polish dudes. But maybe the spirit of Odin will flow through chaoz and with that plus the power of the almighty urtimat® he will win a map for uQ.

Lion: NetRunners have proven themselves as an extremely strong 5on5 team, yet I do not know how their transition back to 6on6 will effect them. On the other hand, uQ had to rebuild itself during the past three weeks. I guess the match could go either way. 4 - 2 for Netrunners.

Quag: btw what does uQ stand 4? (gets told...pause)
imo, netrunners are gna 'wtf ngr plz' own uQ, purely because i, yes q-to-the-g, are giving them my full support. This, coupled with the backing of once UK number 1 #bux, is more than enough to inspire netrunners to an emphatic victory, after which i will accept generous donations for my whole-hearted support. Once again gl the runners, and always remember; FRAG 4 QUAG!

As for myself, Netrunners seem the obvious choice but you cannot simply ignore the knocking of uQ. Sure they're nowhere near as stable as NR, but they have players in the form of lion and lightning who have the ability to change games. The question is, can they whittle down the heavy fortified resistance of Netrunners? I think not.
