Highlander Nations Cup #4 Back-to-back: Scotland vs. USA & England vs. Wales
August 4, 2015
UPDATE: SCOTLAND/USA WAS RESCHEDULED. ENGLAND/WALES IS STILL BEING CASTED
We have another double header for you tonight as we continue our Highlander Nations Cup action! We begin with Scotland vs United States of America at 19 CEST!
Scotland have yet to play a game in this year’s competition after their match against Norway had to be postponed. They also haven’t made the knockout stages since 2012…although with the likes of sheepy dog's hand & Fragm3nt3d still on the roster from that summer, can they repeat that performance in 2015? They face a new-look United States of America roster who looked convincing in their victory over Switzerland in their first group game, as PremTech Medic Nursey only died once the entire game. The teams faced each other in the groups last summer, with United States of America taking all the points. Will they make it two in a row, or can Scotland force an upset?
In our second match of the night, we have a local rivalry as England take on neighbours Wales at 21 CEST. Last years’ runners-up England made short work of Belgium in their first game, with Sniper cloudy going on a 21-killstreak on route to a monumentous 58 frags. They only need 2 points – equivalent to a Golden Cap loss – to secure passage to the knockout stages, whilst a win would guarantee them top spot in the group. In a 3 team group, Wales have yet to play a match in their debut appearance in the Highlander Nation’s Cup: and any points are vital for qualification. Can 6v6 superstar Mike help his country get a result on cp_steel – a map designed for surprise results?
Join CeeJaey, Asaaj, nijoonen & Arjax on BlackOut TV from 19 CEST to see all the action unfold!
