This week(end) will see the culmination of the Highlander Nations Cup #6 Group stages ending in Round 3 on Gullywash and Product, changing the pace from Stopwatch maps to Control Point & King of the Hill. So far there have been close fought games in this competition throughout the first two rounds, so it all comes down to this last round for Nations teams to make it to the playoff matches!

Group A

Americans need to fight for the playoffs in Group A, after   Lithuania‘s default win against the Greece and 6 point victory on Steel over United States of America in the 2nd round it has definitely spiced up the group standings. Resulting in Poland being forced to scrape together at least 3 points in their next match against the group leading Lithuanians to earn themselves a guaranteed playoff spot; although some variance of a golden cap could possibly lead to a 10 point total tiebreaker match with USA, hotting up the competition even further. This final round 3 game between Lithuania & Poland is covered on KritzKast on Monday at 21:00 CEST.

Group B

Between Czech Republic in third place and group leaders  England is only a 4 point difference in Group B, the Czechs need at least 3 points when facing the English to have any chance of a playoff spot. After Israel‘s 6 point victory over Kitchen nightmares this group has a closely contested 2nd place spot. The match between Czech Republic and England this Saturday, 22nd of June @ 21:15 CEST would have been casted, but got defaulted because the Czechs were unable to field a full roster.
