After an exciting playoff bracket we’ve ended up with two teams clawing their way to a finalist position, European SVIFT and France top5rocket. SVIFT finished the regular season in a stable manner, only losing 3 maps and looking comfortable for the majority of it, but it took a turn for the worse in the first game of playoffs when Sweden alle left mid-match, to be replaced by none other than European Se7en‘s UnitedKingdom kaidus. He has been mercing since, and SVIFT held out against both France top5rocket and Denmark LEGO in the upper bracket where both games went to a third map. France top5rocket on the other hand managed to get the 4th playoff spot in the regular season, and were the underdogs by the estimation of most. With France Néo unavailable (as he is again tonight), France top5rocket got knocked into the lower bracket after losing to European SVIFT in the Upper Bracket Round 1, but they have not let their nerves get the better of them so far. They have had a solid lower bracket run while knocking out both Politically correct pander and Denmark LEGO, only needing 2 maps to do so to the former.
With a flashback on our hands, we can expect to see another closely fought series with a potential 4 maps being played. European SVIFT have a map in hand, so they will only need to win two maps to be victorious, but if France top5rocket were to complete their S28 underdog story, it would require them to take 3 maps of the series.

Are France top5rocket up to the challenge? Shall European SVIFT repeat history even while facing invite tf2 god ThalashEEE? Find out this Wednesday at 21:00 CET with Denmark Beater and Sweden alba on the mic, and ol’ reliable England gemm on production at twitch.tv/teamfortresstv.
