Next game tonight will be a second week 2 game from Group D of 6v6 Nations Cup. Both Belgium and WinFinland have won their week 1 games, which means the winner of this game will not only take a lead in their group but also have points to qualify into the playoff stage (with possible tiebreaker if anything). Finland have a lineup of strong premier division players including Season12 Runner-ups, Finnish trio from European TCM Gaming. There are rumours on the street that Finland Darn is replacing Wales Mike in European Team Infused, who knows! Belgium has some talented players on their side like Belgium Coco or Belgium Luzzu but they may lack the experience and high level game play when facing the Finns.

Our last game for tonight is another Group G game featuring both Euro2012 hosters, Poland and Ukraine, two eastern teams. Poland obviously must miss Poland Nor, their beast from the east but having Poland Gameton(JHWH) instead, they still stand a chance against Ukraine Jorman and his Ukrainian players such as dm master Ukraine kensiq. Winning this match Ukraine would guarantee themselves a playoff stage game. Hopefully Poland will do their best to stand and fight for the 6 precious points because they need them if they want to continue playing after group stage.

Israel Israel [6:0] Russia Russia


Our first game of the night will be between Israel and Russia. Both teams have top tier players like guys from Israel Crack Clan on the Jewish side or a mix of Russia uV Gaming and Russia International Secret Intelligence Servic players for the Russians. Behind these clan names we have stars like Israel Retsh0ck and talents like Russia Quik. This game is gonna be an unforgettable experience because teams will be fighting for the first place in tables (as for now) since they both won their week1 games. This match is being casted by Netherlands ThePledge and UK Skully at VanillaTV.

According to tenttLik’s cat Israel is going to win in this game.

At the same time we will have another game from Group B going. It will be Ireland against Romania.

On the side of our favourite spire jumper, Romania Ghostface, we can see Romania Shampoo, who is the most known of Romania’s players. Ireland however is a homeland for European ex-Epsilon player Ireland Predz, who may impress many with his insane deathmatch and gamesense. Unfortunately neither of teams won their week1 games but the winner of this game may still stand a chance to fight for spot in the playoff stage.

Last match for tonight is gonna be a game between Czech Republic and Germany. Although Germans have many well-known players in their team like Germany Thy*, Germany basH and Germany schocky, the Czech’s do have some raw talents in their lineup, for example CzechRepublic Hitm@n and CzechRepublic #n00pe from the div2 winning team, European unity. Both teams have won their games in week1 (Czech, however, were given a default win from the Egypt Egyptian team) so the winner of this game will pretty much have a secured route to playoff stage. According to Germany Homer J the game is going to be played half an hour earlier than the defaulted schedule.

Tonight we will be able to see a game between Portugal and Wales, both teams have won their first round games (Portugal due to a default win against Latvia Latvia) so winning both maps will guarantee a route into the playoff stage. Are the awards truthful? Is Wales Mike the most overrated player of the Season 12? We will be able to see him doing his best to beat a Portugal team consisting of more than a few TF2 veterans like Portugal Coinz, Portugal Haunter and Portugal t0da.
