Editor note: It's about Call of Duty 2!
The EuroCup groupstage has passed and the teams participating in the playoffs to get into the grand lan finals in August got found. With 6.000€ prizemoney, this seasons EuroCup proved the worth having the very top and very best matches in an online event.
Getting the top of the top - Group A
With Dignitas having only one loss against the group's very top eSuba, the group got their favorites right in front of Infused-Gaming who proved their EC worthy with only loosing against these two but owning the rest of the group. With the Aksioo Gaming Group on rank 4 another new name in the CoD2 scene didn't proved their true power and ended up right in front of the German Replika (former Team.coolTronik) and the former Vicious and Evil Team taking the new, funny name GayUnit in the EuroCup after ending at the last place.
The German one - Group B
With two german teams participating not as the favorites to win, only one team was able to pass through as second of the group. With gfive starting as Team aacom ends as fifth and unofficially last place of the group, the team with the sniper-god kohlii didn't make it into the end. Right in front of team, Team EDiT didn't get through as well getting the forth place right behind the second finnish team Insigna Cadre. The first rank of the group came up to noone else than Team Logitech, ended up as second at CPC2 and now getting their favor role proved and reached the playoffs.
I caught up the one and only - unbeliveble and most of the time realy annoying SPEEDLINK Trigger to get his point of view on the groupstage as well as on the upcoming playoffs and the WSVG. The GIGA2 moderator for CoD2 had to say the following words:
Starting with the bad things - Group C
Two dropouts and 1 additional forfeit made this EuroCup very intense and saved us many hot moments. With stheno proving no EuroCup worthy in group C and dropping after loosing clearly against other teams, reason gave up their last match and added a default win for the groups second defusekids. teamoxid lost against them and didn't make it into the playoffs. The international - and unofficially mix - team of tek-9 made it through and pushed up their favorite role to get the first place in here without a single loss. The czech team nEcro also didn't make it on the very top and ended up on the 4th place.
Making the impossible happend - Group D With H2K missing 2 matches, serious, H2K and neophyte can still make it into the playoffs.
With impact, a new light on the Call of Duty sky came up and proved their italian power to get the first spot into the playoffs. With beating serious gaming in their first group match, they made the first step for serious' way down to take the 5th place just in front of the german Bouncer4You Gaming team which could not get onto their ambitious road as they did in the german IPS qualifiers earlier this month. neophyte as CPC2 participant taking the second ticket into the playoffs and leaving H2K Gaming as third and Copenhagen eSports forth in the back.

Bold teams made it into the playoffs, italic teams can still make it into the playoffs (including a little bit luck for some) detailed rankings with scores and stuff can be found on the official website.
just like to mention that team-adocom became gfive and therefore it is not another or new organisation, just the same but recreated a new name to revamp their image and to not be too dependant on the adocom support... plus last 2 matches they played with a new line-up due to the old disbanding (inactivity problems).
nice work chosen :) gives me a clue of whats going on in cod2, but tbh we have cod news but why not quake news? imo it will be even more interesting to read for most etplayers because alot play or have played quake
Anyway, nice writeup.
