After a brief weekend break we are getting ourselves back in to business with EuroCup XVII and in some fashion.
Tonight the second matchweek for group A will unfold and there is a very big clash on schedule between the likes of Team CoolerMaster and MegaProGaming. Furthermore we have the first outing of the new lineup of FatGames which will go up against a Tag.ET side which has had a harsh start to their season and who will be looking to turn things around tonight. The team certainly does not find themselves up against the easiest of opponents in their group and tonight is no different as FatGames are looking stronger than ever. Whether looks ones again prove to be deceiving we will see this evening!

22:15 CET 11th April - UF Gaming vs Impact - Best of 3

UF Gaming had a great result last week beating exabyte (now Reason) 25-15 in the EuroCup. They are probably the favourites coming into this match having performed well in many online competitions however Impact will be a tough challenge

Impact are coming into this match on the back of a good result against DEFEATERS who themselves beat Roskilde Ravens only last night. They are another of the upcomming teams challenging for recognition in a fast growing community.

23:30 CET 11th April - MPUKCOD4.draft Tournament Final

Tonight marks the start of the multiplay draft tournament thats been succesful over in America so the Euros have decided to give it a go. It will be back to school style captains picking teams, with only 2 players from the same team allowed. Many top names from CoD4 will be taking part so why not join in the fun on irc channel #mpukcod4.draft starting tonight at 8pm CET sharp.

We will be only covering the finals for this event and the listed time of 23:30 CET is a total guess :)

Tonight 10 April 20:30 CET the grand finals of the ETQW NC are being played! Lets hope we can watch a nice and fair ET:QW game tonight. Can Sweden continue their winning streak? Or will they be beaten by the Dutch force of Lukos? You can watch it all tonight on ETQW TV.

Info: GamesTV.org

The title does not lie as tonight you will all wish for an extra pair of eyes with a very full schedule. No less than three matches are planned to be played this evening!

Yesterday evening saw a very strong OVERLOAd with a performance that surpassed anything I've seen of them before to date literally steamrolling a disappointing HighBot with lioco taking a predominant position. The Belgians' decision to take on two foreigners turned out to be a good one as they confidently took adlernest only to go on and fullhold the Germans at the tank defence. As it is now the Belgians seem very likely to take the first place in their group and appear determined to improve last season's placement.

Tonight the sides comes in action once again as they take it up against a renewed nice. Other than that it is group D's turn to dig in to the second matchweek...

The team is packed full of potential and are looking to improve on their recent impressive 5th-6th place at i33 at upcoming lans such as Antwerp Esports Festival, The Experience.dk and i34.

Today we see that Reason Gaming have decided to compete again with a new Call of Duty 4 team. Today they have signed the European ranked 10 team Exabyte. The new team will be looking to make an impact at the Antwerp Esports Festival and The Experiance LAN, along with i34 later in august.

The Reason Gaming line up consists of:

Jasdev "JUSZN" Virdee
Mark "rZE" Rzepka
Chris "Lighters" Lightburn
Mark "Phantasy" Pinney
Ryan "Duffer" Duffy

UF Gaming *


* Group D has a seventh team because of a mistake made in creating the fixtures of Qualifying Round 2. teamxeq were incorrectly placed against another QR2 team, dfiance. As teamxeq won they qualified for the EMS. dfiance then played UF Gaming as a normal match, they lost so UF Gaming qualified. This left 4 Kings with no team to play in QR2. Rather than force a team who had qualified to play and risk losing their place in the EMS, it was decided instead that other teams should not be punished for the mistake of the league and 4 Kings were put through.[/hide]

Prizes
Remember, the prize distribution for this season's top 3 teams is a grand total of €1.500 cash!
