CB NC XV: Big Sunday!

Big Sunday coming up on the 11th of March. Two great games are going to be played in the lovely winter evening.

With names like butchji, NuggaN or joshua you can be sure that these games will be high quality ones on a top-level. Make sure you will have a free evening this Sunday and enjoy your time watching top players in action.

We are starting at 21:00 with rematch of Team Canada and The Netherlands. These two teams have played with each other in this NationsCup season already. They met in Upper Bracket Round 1 and the score was 4:0 for . That day The Netherlands was too strong for Canadians, especially xPERiA with his 10000+ damage, beating them on both maps with very good times (7:31 on missile and 2:25 on adlernest). We are looking forward to revenge by now, because if they fail in this game, it is over for them and they are out of the cup.

Previous games:

After thrilling match The Netherlands lost to Team Poland in Upper Bracket Round 2 game. Everyone thought that gonna win this game after they had won first map and set a 3:57 time on Radar. But luckily for Poles and for viewers, Poland has managed to win the 2nd map what brought us to decider where took the victory.

On the other hand we have had a game between Team Canada and Team Czech Republic. First map supply, went very easy for Canadians - they had set 7:16 time and held their opponents in 2nd round for 5 minutes at the flag. Missile wasn't that easy for as they had lost first stages in 5 minutes and with 10 minutes left on the clock they defended the last stage. Czechs players couldn't set a time on this map neither but they showed some good teamplay in 2nd round holding Canadians for 12:20 minutes.

dAv1d: NL will take this one pretty easy i think, with their aim and teamplay it should be a clear 4-0 victory for them.
frozz: NL should be able to take this one because I'd say they have better teamplay together and will also have ping advantage. Although, if Canada has good day they could suprise and take the game. 4-2 NL.
Jewe: I'm kinda out of the loop here, since we haven't (atleast I haven't) played against CAN nor NL. Both have decent players, but I think that NL has got the upper hand here, so I'm gonna go and say 4-0 for NL
Krein: NL should have no problems whatsoever taking the game 4:0. I just see no other possible score (even if xperia couldnt play that game). Canada has a nice lineup but not nearly as good as dutchies this season.
spho: Well I did not really follow NC but I think the Dutch are doing pretty well in this nation cup edition. They suprised with some good performances and simply have better players than CAN. 4-0 for NL unless superstar Brandon pulls off some weird stuff.
StrAf: I think CAN vs NL will be nice to watch. Eventough the NL line up looks stronger & i guess it'll be 4-2 for NL.
subbi: I think Netherlands will take this 4-0, Canada isn't bad, but their opponent has played really good lately and they play together in MouseControl too + they have almighty lagger (xPERiA).
Zodiac: This game should be an easy one for NL. I can't see CAN winning this one, despite having some good individual players. 4-0 NL

Another top game coming up at 21:30. Two great nations will battle for the victory and to be or not to be in NC XV!
Team Germany (who surprisingly lost to Team United Kingdom in previous game) and Team Sweden will entertain us this evening. It looks promising, especially when we can see names such as butchji, KRESTi or Bl4d3 in the German's lineup and jonas, NuggaN or sAvage on the other side. players need this victory to stay in the game and to not disappoint all those 296 Crossfire members who voted for them in Crossfire poll, it was the best result though.

Previous Games:

Team Germany was a favorite in their last game versus Team United Kingdom, according to Gamestv odds at least. But as it turned out, they do not always show the winner. Germans had started with quite good attack on 1st map bremen, they got a flag after 2 minutes but UK has managed to slow them down a bit, especially R0SS, and set a 13:47 time. started 2nd round similar to Germans and took the flag after around 2-3 minutes. But later no one could stop them and they beat a time easily. Radar was much closer, British players made a nice attack on this map and set a 8:47 time. Fortunately, Germans did not give up and did their best to beat that time. They even stole a West Radar with less than one minute on the clock. But sadly for them, griim had killed the guy with the objective, secured the radar parts and haven't managed to win this map

Team Sweden vs Team Iceland was a close game too. Swedes won 3:1 after two most popular 6on6 maps nowadays, supply & sw_goldrush. They have managed to fullhold Icelanders on both maps. Although both phyZic and rNz did their best to stop Swedes players, it wasn't enough to take the victory. Happily, it looks like Team Sweden finally found a stable lineup (best possible though) so I'm hoping to see a great game



[h3Predictions:[/h3]]
dAv1d: Germany here is a favourites but I think Sweden will give them a hard fight. But still i guess a 4-0 for GER or maybe if sweden pulls it together they take it to a decider but in the end GER will take it 4-2.
frozz: Match between GER and SWE should be ultra fun because both lineup are looking quite good on paper. There will also be clash between the titans, butchji and nuggan! But considering I was never really fan of other swedish guys for 6v6 games, I believe GER will take it in a close fight!
Jewe: We've played against both teams, SWE twice and GER once. Both teams were really, really out of shape at the time we played against them so if I had to say the score according to our prac results, I would say that this game could end up 4-2 either way. (Of course 1-2 practise result have no meaning what so ever). But then again, It's been a few weeks from our pracs against either one of them and the GER lineup actually looks alot stronger now that they have taken kevji as their main rifle. So I'm gonna go and say 4-0 for GER.
Krein: As much as I'd love to see Sweden winning that game and Germany out of NC it just ain't happening this time :D Most likely one sided game and a fast bash. Sweden looks nice on paper if you check individual players but somehow they can't get the proper teamwork/whatever to be a serious contender this season. Good luck to them though (and to kresti nub ofc) :)
spho: I don't really know to be honest. GER is always strong and SWE always seem to miss something so its probably going to be a 4-0 or 4-2 for GER.
StrAf: The swedish aiming powerhouse wont be able to beat the german team but they'll give a rough match. 4-2 for GER.
subbi: Germany will probably take this 4-2. I think Sweden will put up a fight and can snap their homemap, but I'm sure that Germany takes it.
Zodiac: Sweden have been praccing a lot this NC and have had some good results (for instance vs UK). Germany should still win this game without too much trouble and I'd say Germany wins 4-0.
