Mayday ET Matchups

image: maydaybanner


One week later after no doubt mass amounts of chocolate consumption we are faced with yet another Sunday of Enemy Territory! In the absence of morris dancing and maypoles, crossfire does have the Clanbase Eurocup and the YCN Spring Challenge for entertainment on this traditional celtic holiday.

In Eurocup Netherlands OVERLOAd are fighting for a space in the playoffs with their final group stage game against the group C favorites Europe WinFakt. After a loss to Rockit, it looks probable that OVERLOAd need to pull out an upset here if they want to continue their EC campaign unless the germans have trouble against UVGaming. With adlernest & supply being the arena for the 3rd matchweek they could well push this to a three map spectacle, but WinFakt will definitely want to end this with a clean 4-0 victory.

Later in the YCN Spring Challenge United Kingdom Next Evolution ESC square up to Denmark NORDIC-eSport in the winnerbracket. NEVO recently suffered what the gbooky odds would consider an upset defeat to the finnish side red as a beetroot in Eurocup. Tomorrow a victory is cruicial to continue in Eurocup, and a loss today would certainly not improve morale. NEVO need to get their bearings and get a positive result here but NORDIC are coming to this round after a comfortable 4-0 victory against K1ck so it isn't going to be easy.

I'll be bringing both these games to you live with #gamestv.org Shoutcasting. You can find the lineups and more details after the jump!



Egg-citing Easter Sunday ET

The time of lent comes to a close as many begin the devouring of hollow chocolate eggs. But these aren't the only things the four day Easter weekend has in store. Sunday evening treats us to what will hopefully be some high quality Enemy Territory action as the first round of the YCN Spring Challenge playoffs gets underway and the Eurocup group stage continues. Supplemented with casts from United Kingdom yours truly and France Francis there will surely be something worth watching.

Kicking things off early are the fervent Finns Finland red as a beetroot who take on the benelux based United Kingdom Power Gaming in the second matchweek of Eurocup. This is the Finns first game of the tournament unlike PG who took a 4-2 victory over Belgian Fraternity last week. So far every Eurocup game has gone to a third map and I think these teams might just be too close to break that trend.

Updated I challenged MerlinatoR to keep up his 100% prediction record. His thoughts can be found after the jump.
