CanFo — A total of three matches are played tonight in the Premiership Division of ETF2L’s Season 13. However due to staff numbers, VanillaTV will not be able to provide a cats of any of these games. However we will be able to provide you with STVs for all three games tonight!
The first of tonight’s Premiership matches is played between Crack Clan and The Last Resort (former Nitrose) at 21.15 CEST. The two teams met in an official in the Process cup final in September where Crack Clan pulled off a 4-2 win. How will these two teams compete on the classics cp_granary and cp_snakewater? Extra fuel is added because both teams are tied on the first place at the moment with the same amount of played matches.
Crack Clan’s star demoman Retsh0ck goes careful but well prepared into this match:
Team Fortress 2 at times can be full of suprises, and it’s not always the best team who wins and goes through. So as it stands both teams have 11 points and we have reason to feel that we can take the step forward. Culturely they’re very strong and have been for a while, even before their I46 performance. Their game is very strong, they’re very good on the counter attack and they know how to defend. I have come up against Nitrose in the past, so obviously I know perfectly well how difficult they can be to play against. I intend to pass this message to my players so they’ll know we have to take this game serious and are best prepared for tonight. And as usual, We’d like to have the fans’ full support, their help will be REALLY important.
His counterpart in The Last Resort HYS says:
It is probably going to be the hardest game of the season thus far and we are more than aware of their deathmatch ability. We don’t feel as well prepared as the previous weeks due to both Epsilon and Decerto cancelling games against us this week but we will give 110% as always. Hope we can make it a close match for the spectators!
The journey of Premiership qualifier winner (-.(-.(-.-).-).-) CHINESE MAFIA was not crowned with success so far, with a devastating loss against The Last Resort in their week 1 match. Tonight they will have to use mercs once again, basH is stepping in as scout and Punchline’s Tek stands in as soldier. BFF managed to win against Punchline and lost to the team-to-beat Epsilon eSports so far. They enter this match as favourite.
Kickoff is at 21:15 CEST and BFF’s Darn! gives himself bellicose:
Once again we put on our helmets and prepare for a battle of internet lordship. Today we face a gruesome evil chinese mafia, who no doubt have prepared for this encounter with the same furiousity as Ivan Drago when he faced Rocky Balboa. Yet still I find myself wondering? How is this possible, I clearly see two lithuanians on their roster… and I wonder… where do they get their electrity from?
Gubbins from the triads is a bit more of a gentleman:
Unfortunately Raliator has had a personal incident and so we will be playing with 2 mercs. Should be an interesting game, we’ve had a couple of close games in the past but with recent roster changes. I think there could be a lot of kick coming from us, we’re pumped.
Epsilon eSports’ new lineup performed well against the allstar team BFF in their week 1 match, winning one map very closely and one map very clearly. Now they are up against the promoted Team Decerto who so far only managed to steal one point of The Last Resort with a golden cap loss.
The team around the scout duo schocky and wltrs is obviously the favourite to win this match. Our David Team Decerto has to pull off something amazing to win a point out of this match. Just as the other two Premiership matches tonight, kickoff is at 21:15 CEST.
Epsilon eSports’ Mike expects nothing but a win:
We are quite confident on granary and snakewater and our results are satisfying as of late, both in pcws and officials. Decerto have undergone a slight reform going into this season but I think they did very well with the additions bringing in 3 players with prem experience (Arx especially) which are all individually rather talented. This is a positive move for them and will stabilise them hopefully throughout Season 13 in prem. Despite this, I would say Epsilon have already got good synergy when it is needed and so we hope and expect nothing less than 6-0 tonight. Gl&Hf!
Snyyppis from Team Decerto agrees with his opponent:
We aren’t very much fussed about today to be honest. We are just hoping for a relaxed game and to smooth out some of our flaws. I guess this is just one of those games we’d rather get out of the way and focus more on the matches that are important to us pointwise. Of course we’re going to try our hardest, but looking at our recent pcws and the form Epsilon have right now, it might be a very quick game
