Highlander Season 8 Powered by Tt eSPORTS: PremTech vs Tourettes Chessclub & Stacked vs WASP @21CET

You read the title correctly folks – it’s a Highlander double header! The regular season comes to a close with two mouth-watering games casted for you by the folks at BlackOut TV on two channels from 21CET! Watch them together here.

On BlackOut TV will be CeeJaey, Bulow & Jon on production hosting the big one – PremTech vs Tourettes Chessclub.

BAITO‘s gang currently sit just below Highpander© in the table, and only 6 points will be enough to take them above Hildreth‘s team and secure a spot in the Grand Final. After the loss of Ascendary to Guild Wars 2, Steve! will be stepping in to merc Pyro. atomic- and uubers will be looking to get one over on their previous team after the Baltic exodus from Chess at the end of last season and leave their former teammates as the third seed in the playoffs. With PremTech going from strength to strength in the previous weeks and managing to split the points with Highpander© in week 2, BAITO will be confident of leading his team to victory on Steel tonight.

Meanwhile Tourettes Chessclub have lost their own Pyro and leader Scissors in mysterious circumstances and will be turning to Lex as their default merc. This is the latest spanner in the works after the unprecedented loss of a map to WASP last week, and they could well be left feeling vulnerable tonight, especially with a huge percentage of bets on Saloon.tf placed on their opponents. The rest of the roster, however, is still as strong as it gets: BreakfasT_Jr remains the undisputed King of wasting large amounts of money on ammunition, while Lazybear has been on fire since his return to Highlander – and with ondkaja stepping in to fill the role of team leader, the potential for out-stratting is strong on the tactical wonderland that is Steel.

Simultaneously on BlackOut TV 2 you can catch Heavy Is GPS & sigafoo covering Stacked vs. WASP. With both teams safe from relegation and out of the running for playoffs, this match is all about pride.

The Russians have exceeded all expectations in their first season in Prem – after being written off alongside their countrymen Unpoppable and the politically challenged UKIP, they rolled over both of them in officials and even managed to steal Golden Cap points from Highpander© and a map from Tourettes Chessclub. Strong play from the likes of Forsak3n, Crow‾ and m0rg (backed up by the occasional appearance of ShaDowBurn as a merc) and their long history as a team have set them up to continue their fine work in next season’s Premiership division and it would be foolish to rule out the possibility of a victory tonight.

Stacked sit above their opponents tonight in the table but will be far less satisfied with how the season has gone. Looking like true title contenders pre-season, the latest catastrophe to befall them was dropping a map to Unpoppable (and the fearsome Forsak3n & ShaDowBurn flank) last week while missing a hefty chunk of that oh-so-strong-looking roster. Their chances of getting a result tonight depend heavily on how many players will actually turn up, but if their full roster turns out with a point to prove then a win is definitely on the cards. Look for droso to contest the Sniper war fiercely and Hidan to pump out huge damage on Demo.
