European Quarantine [6:0] International Damage Control

Although it seems rather late, teams Kazakhstan Quarantine and International Team Decerto are finally battling it out for their first week match tonight at 21:15 CEST. With both teams losing their previous matches, it should be interesting to see who will take this one. Both teams have strong players, including Netherlands Qun, who is new to Kazakhstan Quarantine and UK Stark, who was recently interviewed by Ireland Admirable for ETF2L.

England ilike2spin from International Team Decerto says about this match:

Quarantine are a huge wildcard for tonight, with some prem experience, and faces new and old, we don’t really know what to expect but still go into the game confidently. I think it’s one of the most important games of the season and could well later decid who’s relegated from prem. Good luck and have fun!

VanillaTV will be covering this match with Ireland Admirable and the ever popular USA  djc, with cameraman Lithuania  Warden on the cam. Make sure to tune in.

Interview Transcript

Ireland Admirable: Hello sports fans and welcome to another ETF2L Season 13 interview with myself, Admirable. This is number four and as such represents something of a midpoint in our series, so let’s have a little cheer!

A Young Girl: Yay!

England Stark: Yay!

A: What better way to celebrate this glorious occasion than with a celebration of the meteoric rise of Team Decerto’s star scout, Stark.  Are you ready to be celebrated, Stark?!

S: Ofcourse, I’m ready to be celebrated.

A: Before we get underway I must confide in you that the main objective of this interview series has always been to attempt to cultivate an interest in fashion amongst the Premier Division.

S: Mwhah!

A: All that nonsense about teams and competition is in fact a cunning ruse; what the people really want to know is what hats and miscellaneous items will you be equipping for Season 13?

European Team Infused [3:3] International The Last Resort

The first of tonight’s Premiership matches of our 13th 6v6 Season is played between Germany Crack Clan and European The Last Resort (former Nitrose) at 21.15 CEST. The two teams met in an official in the Process cup final in September where Germany Crack Clan pulled off a 4-2 win. How will these two teams compete on the classics cp_granary and cp_snakewater? Extra fuel is added because both teams are tied on the first place at the moment with the same amount of played matches.

Germany Crack Clan’s star demoman Israel Retsh0ck goes careful but well prepared into this match:

Team Fortress 2 at times can be full of suprises, and it’s not always the best team who wins and goes through. So as it stands both teams have 11 points and we have reason to feel that we can take the step forward. Culturely they’re very strong and have been for a while, even before their I46 performance. Their game is very strong, they’re very good on the counter attack and they know how to defend. I have come up against Nitrose in the past, so obviously I know perfectly well how difficult they can be to play against. I intend to pass this message to my players so they’ll know we have to take this game serious and are best prepared for tonight. And as usual, We’d like to have the fans’ full support, their help will be REALLY important.

His counterpart in European The Last Resort England HYS says:

It is probably going to be the hardest game of the season thus far and we are more than aware of their deathmatch ability. We don’t feel as well prepared as the previous weeks due to both Epsilon and Decerto cancelling games against us this week but we will give 110% as always. Hope we can make it a close match for the spectators!

China (-.(-.(-.-).-).-) CHINESE MAFIA [0:6] International All Tied Up

The journey of Premiership qualifier winner China (-.(-.(-.-).-).-) CHINESE MAFIA was not crowned with success so far, with a devastating loss against European The Last Resort in their week 1 match. Tonight they will have to use mercs once again, Germany basH is stepping in as scout and France Punchline’s France Tek stands in as soldier. European BFF managed to win against France Punchline and lost to the team-to-beat European Epsilon eSports so far. They enter this match as favourite.

Update: The statement from Darn was actually a lot longer. The German internet ate half of it.

Kickoff is at 21:15 CEST and European BFF’s Finland Darn! gives himself bellicose:

Once again we put on our helmets and prepare for a battle of internet lordship. Today we face a gruesome evil chinese mafia, who no doubt have prepared for this encounter with the same furiousity as Ivan Drago when he faced Rocky Balboa. Yet still I find myself wondering? How is this possible, I clearly see two lithuanians on their roster… and I wonder… where do they get their electrity from? As we all well know that we have Mirelin (Igor Igor) in our roster and he has to use the whole Latvian and most of Lithuania’s churning butter just to get his wooden apparatus to start up. I find hard to belive that they are able to play properly against our energy draining vampire. From a little unicorn beliving byte-sized bird I heard that they have even harnessed the power of dark ages, and with this black magic sorcery they are going to strike up their PCs. Sadly not even Satan himself is a match for Igor Igor who has trained vigorously by eating only rocks for the past year to become the mightiest Igor in Latvia and the future King of Lithuania.
Proof:
mirelin: Darnelion
mirelin: are you ready to destroy lithuanian noobs?
And fuck yes I am ready. We are so pumped and hyped, with Igor on our side we fear nothing!
All hail the future king of Igornia
Death to Lithuania!
All hail Mirelin
Death to Lithuania!
All hail Igor Igor!

England Gubbins from the China triads is a bit more of a gentleman:

Unfortunately Raliator has had a personal incident and so we will be playing with 2 mercs. Should be an interesting game, we’ve had a couple of close games in the past but with recent roster changes. I think there could be a lot of kick coming from us, we’re pumped.

OVERALL
European Epsilon eSports [6:0] International Damage Control

European Epsilon eSports’ new lineup performed well against the allstar team European BFF in their week 1 match, winning one map very closely and one map very clearly. Now they are up against the promoted International Team Decerto who so far only managed to steal one point of European The Last Resort with a golden cap loss.

The team around the scout duo Germany schocky and Sweden wltrs is obviously the favourite to win this match. Our David International Team Decerto has to pull off something amazing to win a point out of this match. Just as the other two Premiership matches tonight, kickoff is at 21:15 CEST.

European Epsilon eSports’ Wales Mike expects nothing but a win:

We are quite confident on granary and snakewater and our results are satisfying as of late, both in pcws and officials. Decerto have undergone a slight reform going into this season but I think they did very well with the additions bringing in 3 players with prem experience (Arx especially) which are all individually rather talented. This is a positive move for them and will stabilise them hopefully throughout Season 13 in prem. Despite this, I would say Epsilon have already got good synergy when it is needed and so we hope and expect nothing less than 6-0 tonight. Gl&Hf!

Finland Snyyppis from International Team Decerto agrees with his opponent:

We aren’t very much fussed about today to be honest. We are just hoping for a relaxed game and to smooth out some of our flaws. I guess this is just one of those games we’d rather get out of the way and focus more on the matches that are important to us pointwise. Of course we’re going to try our hardest, but looking at our recent pcws and the form Epsilon have right now, it might be a very quick game

European Quarantine [0:6] European Team Infused

Tonight at 21.15 CEST Kazakhstan Quarantine plays Germany Crack Clan in their week 2 match on cp_gullywash_final1 and cp_granary.

Both teams suffered player losses at the start of the season, in Germany Crack Clan‘s case the new roster is rather set after playing together for almost a month. Them beating France Punchline yesterday 5-1, who are widely considered a playoff candidate, Germany Crack Clan are confirming their role as a playoff aspirant, even with the new roster. Kazakhstan Quarantine had to deal with similar roster issues, with Netherlands Qun replacing Israel Erectus and Sweden lime replacing Israel Tarkus, who was found cheating. Let’s see if Kazakhstan Quarantine‘s new players can live up to the expectations or if Germany Crack Clan will float on the wave of success to another win on the road to the playoffs.

VanillaTV will be covering this match with England Byte and a new caster trial mfcrocker, with the always present Netherlands Comedian on the cam. Make sure to tune in.
