Highlander Season 12 Premiership Grand Final: Strong Opinions vs Super Super Dickmann’s KANNONEN! @ 21:15 CEST

Date May 14, 2017

HL_S_12

It’s that time of the year folks!

Another season comes to end as we reach the Grand Final of what has been an interesting and exciting number of weeks. From the red corner, unsurprisingly, European Strong Opinions are back to defend their title as ‘The Best Highlander Team in Europe’ since Season 9. In the blue corner, their challengers are none other than Luxembourg Super Dickmann's KANNONEN!, by many regarded as the team with the skill and resolve to take the throne off the reigning champions.

BlackOut TV will be bringing you the action live from 21:15 CEST tonight, with European jakeowaty and UnitedKingdom Honey Badger as the commentators, with Netherlands Wiethoofd behind the camera.

The Teams

Luxembourg Super Dickmann's KANNONEN!

Scout: England Mayh
Soldier: Russia dima
Pyro: Norway Rick May
Demoman: Belgium sp
Heavy: Netherlands anni
Engineer: Latvia Clark
Medic: Lithuania Spreijer
Sniper: Finland Burn
Spy: Finland Ze Man

It seems only fitting to start things off by taking a look at the top seed – Luxembourg Super Dickmann's KANNONEN! went flawless with 30 out of 30 points scored throughout the season, beating among others, European Strong Opinions in week 3. To go from winning a total of two out of seven possible games in their debut season in Premiership, to win every match possible in a dominating 6-0 fashion, is something rarely witnessed in any of TF2 divergent game modes. From Season 11 to Season 12, Luxembourg Super Dickmann's KANNONEN! seems to have not only found the right pieces in terms of players, but have in addition, arguably more importantly, grown as a team. The addition of Norway Rick May have made their combo a force to be reckoned with. However, going head-to-head with Team Fortress 2’s No. 1 Pyromain European Steve! will be one key hurdle to cross in overcoming the team on top of the throne. 

European Strong Opinions

Scout: Slovakia Maros
Soldier: Austria Raptor
Pyro: European Steve!
Demoman: CzechRepublic adamracek
Heavy: UnitedKingdom EmilioEstevez
Engineer: Sweden Seal
Medic: Spain CeeJaey
Sniper: England cloudy
Spy: Denmark Toast

To most followers of Highlander’s amazement, Spain CeeJaey‘s team have exposed cracks in their otherwise sturdy defenses. Losing out to their Grand Final opponents Luxembourg Super Dickmann's KANNONEN! in the UGC Upper-Bracket Finals as well as the Grand Final after coming back from the Lower-Bracket, many question if the old European Strong Opinions have lost their supernatural ability to come back in the most clutch situations. Admittedly, for all that its worth, during most of the UGC season, the final included, the undisputed champions of Highlander had many of their players missing, forcing them to play with substitutes, undoubtedly effecting their synergy and overall potential. With their unexpected roster move of changing both Sweden alle and Denmark Thalash for CzechRepublic adamracek Slovakia Maros respectively, questions arise regarding the almost two years of built up synergy in the former roster, and if the new European Strong Opinions can match that of its former self.
