Sunday night marks my first visit as a Call of Duty 4 caster into the Clanbase EuroCup. We start off our coverage of this tournament in the group stages on two action packed maps, Vacant and Crash. 19:30 CET Sunday 6th April - SK-Gaming vs Team Coolermaster.EU - Vacant, Crash SK-Gaming are a clan with something to prove after what some claimed was a dissapointing LAN performance at CDC4. Personally I just think it wasn't their day and there is a lot more to see from this team in the months to come. Online was where they made their name as The6Devils defeating all the top names blazing a trail to victory in the CODQCUP. That fact alone makes them the hot favourites coming into this match on maps which hugely favour their play style.
Team Coolermaster.EU recently attended i33 with what must have been a dissapointing result. Getting knocked out of the tournament fairly early in the double elimination stages, this team has a lot to prove in these early stages of CoD4. A lot of people claim a fully mixed European team just can not work and this is something they will want to prove people wrong on. Beating SK-Gaming would certainly going a long way to doing just that.
21:00 CET Sunday 6th April - Dignitas vs Roskilde Ravens - Vacant, Crash Dignitas are the top money earners in Europe so far with €6000 in March from taking victory at i33 over TheLastResort in a closely fought finals on Crash and District (Click links for VoD's). They doubled that victory Sunday night in the EMS Qualifiers taking victory in the second map to secure their top english team position. With the recent line-up change and new in-game captian Sko stepping in Dignitas have gone from strength to strength and are fighting hard to prove i33 was not just a one off.
Roskilde Ravens had a fairly pleasant trip to i33 which was rewarded to them for their impressive performance at CDC4 earlier in March. They took home €250 from i33 with a 7th-8th place finish after a disapointing result against Exabyte. However they took a lot from i33 with Victory and Defeat against TeK-9 and a draw against Evil Geniuses (Click links for VoD's). They also suffered defeat to Bangin it eurostyle this week in the Live2Win League Upper Bracket Sem-Finals on Vacant in a game which put Bangin it eurostyle into the spotlight with 3 very impressive results. frijec and his team will be looking to boost confidence levels with a good result against one of Europes Top 3.
