ETQW QCUP - Semi finals tonight, live on QuadV

Tuesday night is fight night in the ETQW QCUP and in what looks to be the most exiting round so far we have 4 teams wanting to advance to the 250 euro final. So get your popcorn ready, put your feet on the table and relax as Quadv and TosspoT brings you the semi finals (or at least one of them) of the ETQW QCUP.

In the first match of the evening we have the 1st and 5th seed of the ETQW QCUP clashing together in what should be an exciting match, but with a clear favorite. Dignitas have been playing rock solid lately, winning all there is to win of officials so far in retail ETQW. Four-kings also have a good track record and wining versus GROF in the second European ESL EMS qualifier is the highlight so far. Some might argue that Four-Kings have yet to play the best in the big leagues and thats true to some extent. Four-Kings have not had the change to prove them selfs after joining the Four-kings organization, but that does not automatically make them a lesser team. But as the seeding suggest, (partly done by me, so not the best reference) Dignitas is the best team going to this match and should win it 4-0 if they are able to perform at their normal standard. And Four-Kings needs to step up their game if they want to win the match. A factor that might tip the match even more in Dignitas favor is that key Four-Kings player Fenda is away on holiday and Four-Kings might even be forced to play the match with a merc. My final prediction: 4-0 to Dignitas, but I hope to see Four-Kings step up and perform at their best and give Dignitas a hard fight for the spot in the final.

In the second semi final we have an all out Swedish battle. The two top Swedish teams will not only battle it out for a spot in the final, but also for the crown of Sweden. Last time these two met, in the Swedish ESL EMS qualifier, Kompaniet was able to secure a 4-2 victory. Back then EYE won Area 22, Kompaniet won Island and Sewer. For this cup Kompaniet is seeded second and EYE third. But things have changed since then and while Kompaniet have been crushing their opponents lately, EYE have had some big problems. In the ETQW Nordic Championship EYE just lost to the all star mix team "BUBU" (consisting of players from Dignitas, H2k and infinity), in EMS EYE only managed a draw versus underdogs Frag Executers and gave walk over versus Creative. So there is a big question mark behind the mighty EYE tag at the moment, will EYE be able to bounce back or will this match be another failure? In light of the recent trouble for EYE and the maps being played I predict a 4-0 win for Kompaniet. But EYE is a team packed with talent and if there is anyone that is able to pull off a big upset, its them.
