The first week of the
EQL8 playoffs is over, and I hope that some of you got to see some of the high quality matches that were played this past week. If you missed it, don't worry as we got the finals coming up!
Read on for comments and a list of the upcoming playoff games.
Division 1First Finalist:
The Viper squad
Second Finalist:
Bear Beer Balalaika
Who will win the div1 final? reppietVS-3b will be 3-0 I think. tVS have pretty nice pings in russia I think and 3b's biggest strength seems to be spamming/working together. That hit us harder than it will tVS, they got nice teamplay
3-0, no kenya. I think 3b will wanna take tVS down on the biggest maps, and tVS prefers tb3 afaik.
kingpin3b has surprised a lot! I actually think 3b will win e1m2 and possibly dm2 with a good start, unnamed did some major ownage on dm2 vs drz. But so hard to tell, I'm sure it's not gonna be ez for tVS tho. Anything can happen but tVS sure has the upper hand.
key player in 3b is unnamed, and of course milton in tvs - will be a match in the match these 2.
TrashtVS - 3B will end with a 3-0 victory to tVS. There isn't a single clan out there that can take on tVS at the moment. With milton in the shape he is in and a solid teamplay from the rest of the finns I can't see 3B take down any map. It's sad but true, the qw throne belongs to sauna land and tVS!
ItsinenI saw them praccing cmt3, seemed to go 1-1 in mapwins, 3b has slight advantage of playing those maps just a couple of seasons ago in "div4" compared to tVS. But tVS does actually know those maps very well too, so tVS will take it because of better tb3, cmts might go both ways.
ruskiewell 3b - tVS in the group stage was close on dm3 and that seems to be their best map. tVS without milton is like 3b without xn if either starplayer dosen't show up it's over for the respective teams, but if it's the regular lineup tvs will win 3-0 but most likely not without a fight on dm3.
PeppetVS. It's not obvious?
[tvs]milton, that's no.1
[tvs]blaze, that's no.2
1. The Viper squad, 2. Druidz, 3. Clan MalFunction... that's no.3 - now gedit?
Division 2First Finalist:
Quakeklan
Second Finalist:
Suddendeath ll
Who will win the div2 final? kingpinqk vs sd2 will be tight, but I think qk will win, especially now with cge, they even won vs sd1 in prac.
fogI think it will be tight, we have won most of the pracs we've played like some month ago... they didn't have xantom though and we had div4 standin most of the times. Can't really say, we're not really stable as a team atm, since of lineupswitches and so.
ruskieVery suprised about no pasaran not going to the finals, i like the team (not panic thou) he's a bigger parafan than me :-(
Suddendeath 2 appears to have the better linueup, no doubt. nepra/dive/dahmer/xantom
Division 3First Finalist:
Hippushnik
Second Finalist:
Fusion or
Demolition Crew
Who will the second finalist be? kingpinI think fusion will take home div3 quite easily, no doubt.
PurityShould be fusion. DC has played some decent games this season tho.
Who will win the div3 final? PurityFusion, I suppose.
ItsinenI can't answer that, since I come from the land of sauna where hips also comes from, so that would be cheating ;P
TrashHips is the cmt clan right? I bet my money on fusion.
Division 4First Finalist:
naim
Second Finalist:
Apocalypse 2000
Who will win the div4 final? fogHard shit, naim can play decent, and can suck, same with a2k I think.
I think it totally depends on naim-lineup, if Igggy , premortem plays. I think naim will take it pretty ez, otherwise if jaco etc plays I think it will be 3-1 a2k. He is their weakest link imo, but you'll never know about that guy, he has his moments when everything (luckily) goes his way, dunno how he does it, but he does.
PurityProbably depends on a2k lineup, they seem to change a lot.
Division 5First Finalist:
Bad Luck Troopers
Second Finalist:
Na Fianna or
StarkaStyrkan
Who will the second finalist be? PeppeStarka is my clan, so Na Fiannna for sure. We have 1½ players, so not us.
JimoHard to say, if CMT4 is not gonna be played StarkaStyrkan will have a big chance.
Na Fianna lost to comfortably numb 2-1 in a prac some days ago and they play in div6.
So I think it will be StarkaStyrkan that will beat Na Fianna with 2-1. Becuse Na Fianna will take CMT4 as their map.
Who will win the div5 final? PeppeConsidering their history, i'd say BLT, as div3 champions last time they played, and the players have been semi-active since.
JimoBad Luck Troopers will lose on dm2, but the rest of the maps will they win. So BLT will be the winning clan in division 5, But just because of Knave
SS will take dm2 because we (Bloodpunch) almost won dm2 vs BLT two times, and when we played pracc vs SS they won bigtime over us
Division 6First Finalist:
Comfortably Numb
Second Finalist:
Straight Edge
Who will win the div6 final? zappatersxe hasn't been very active and cn won against fian just a few days ago in a prac 2-1.
I'm not going to make a bet as I play in cn, however just telling what I know
