Ora Elektro vs. SVIFT EU

Tonight, it’s Faint Gaming versus Ora Elektro on Sunshine and Prolands.

Last week, SVIFT were outmatched by wer das liest ist doof. On Snake they went 1-0 down in just under two minutes, which snowballed fast into a 3-0 deficit. They gallantly pulled it back to 3-2 with three minutes left, but couldn’t gain that crucial third round for a Golden Cap. Sunshine was started with idiosyncratic swiftness, taking a quick first round and giving the Germans a taste of their own medicine, but it was nothing that Dr Phil and co couldn’t overcome, losing eventually 2-1.

Meanwhile, it’s been 15,000 years since Ora Elektro played their last official. It was at the start of October versus Se7en, where they showed a more than commendable fight on Gully (though couldn’t come up with the end product on Viaduct).

Will Ora Elektro’s return to our screens be a cause célèbre? Or will Smirre and the boys pull the Ora plug?

Catch all the action on TF TV with your hosts, GrumpyKoi, Eepily and Beater.

Se7en vs. wer das liest ist doof

It’s a key moment in wer das liest ist doof‘s season, as the not-so-Germans are facing off against the colossus that is Se7en.

Se7en, after drawing with rival Ascent.EU last week will be looking to bounce back in their last match of the regular season and need at least four points to finish on top of the table. Maybe even five, but this was written at 4 am so I can’t ask anyone who actually knows stuff. Regardless, Se7en will be looking to put last week match behind them, and mauling a mid-table side is a good way to do that.

So, is it already over for WDLID? I don’t think so. While they might not walk away with six points, managing to grab any point from this fixture would help them greatly in the playoff race. They are in a good run of form as well, beating SVIFT EU last week, a team that drew against the current top spot. It would not be the first time that Se7en is caught by surprise against a “weaker” side, as Ora Elektro managed to take them to a Golden Cap. With the addition of Dr. Phil, and the unpredictable nature of Prolands, an upset is not a far-fetched scenario.

So, will the good form of the doofus carry on or will Se7en crush them? Tune in to teamfortress.tv to find out!

Ascent.EU vs Se7en

Catch a glimpse of what could very well be the final of this season, as first and second place clash. That’s right, it’s Se7en versus ComedyShortsGaming!

While Ascent.EU did not play last week due to nunya forfeiting, they managed to get a piece of nunya in the person of Connor, who will be replacing Nursey from now on. This first match under new colours will be quite the test for the hot-shot medic, but if there’s one thing that Connor has, it’s confidence. Against Faint Gaming the week before, amppis and his acolytes proved that they knew how to dictate the tempo of a game even against top teams, and this intensity could be the kind of thing that throws Se7en off.

Se7en also defeated Faint Gaming quite convincingly, Gullywash was a bit close at the beginning but they managed to regain control in the last 15 minutes. And this map is out of the rotation for now. They are looking very solid at the moment, but the absence of kaidus’ calm calls could hinder them should the game not go in their favour.

So, will Ascent.EU prove that they are up to the challenge ? Or will they have only a decent performance and get walked on by the current champions? Tune in to teamfortress.tv to find out!

SVIFT EU vs wer das liest ist doof

Tonight, it’s the Swedes vs the Germans, with Faint Gaming taking on wer das liest ist doof on Snakewater and Sunshine.

Last match-week, Smirre and friends put the fellowship squarely to the sword. Though they might have secured safe passage across Khazad-dûm, scaled Mount Doom and even took a map off of doof last time around, the fellowship were deftly outplayed by SVIFT on both Gully and Snake, who played with intelligence and confidence to take two maps wins.

Meanwhile, doof will be looking to turn their fortunes around, after dropping both maps in their last game to an Ascent side that’s assuredly entering the ascendancy, with the end of the season and playoffs looming – like the Misty Mountains – ahead.

Will SVIFT keep up the pace? Will doof turn it around?

Head to teamfortress.tv for all the lights, camera, off-classing, and more.
