Highlander Season 14 Week 3: Feila eSports vs Tourettes Chessclub

Date November 29, 2017

As we arrive into the third week of this 14th ETF2L Highlander Season, Poland Feila eSports slim shady edition will square up against European Tourettes Chessclub in a gimmick fueled fight to the death on everyone’s favourite Highlander map: cp_steel.

Tourettes Chessclub, a team with nobled recognition throughout the seasons has been off to a less than desirable start, currently only holding 2 points after the first two weeks. Any hope of attaining playoffs and having a chance to retake their crown lies on them taking some wins in the upcoming weeks. With former Sniper Germany Nate leaving the roster and old teammate Scotland Deox rejoining the ranks, the future can go either way for Tourettes Chessclub.

Conversely, Feila eSports have set off this season with mixed results. While taking a defeat to the current champions, Luxembourg Super Dickmann's KANNONEN!, they were able to take a decisive victory against Sweden Lucrosa in their second week, redeeming the start of their season. As far as the roster goes, they continue to stay unified and strong. However, if there is one map which can be unreliable, it’s cp_steel, so perhaps we’ll be seeing some mixed up and abstract strategy coming out from both teams to “out-gimmick” the other.

Join us tonight at 21:00 CET over at KritzKast where we will be uncovering the winners of this crucial match. Join Spain CeeJaey and England chando in the casting booth with Netherlands Wiethoofd backstage on the production. We look forward to seeing you there!

Highlander Season 14 Week 2: Feila eSports vs Lucrosa

Date November 22, 2017

Tonight, the veteran Highlander squad Poland Feila eSports slim shady edition will go head to head with rising power-team Sweden Lucrosa. Feila goes back a long way, with esport couple UnitedKingdom Hutchy and UnitedKingdom Leila leading the charge each season without failure. Despite a defeat in the first week to the strongest seeded team SDCK, their roster remains promising, with previous premiership winner and sniper of the season England cloudy joining the ranks alongside fresh and promising players such as Germany mezzo and Slovakia Strno who have stepped up considerably in the later seasons and shown the world that they have what it takes to be the very best in the scene.

Likewise, Lucrosa have already proved themselves as a force not to be reckoned with. After taking a Golden Cap Win against European Tourettes Chessclub in the first week, they pose a bigger threat to the premiership tables than perhaps expected initially. Last week we saw the likes of demoman Netherlands Bob Bami and sniper International andrew demolish their competition, and no doubt they will be giving Feila a run for their money tonight.

With both teams possessing potential for a playoff spot this season, the stakes have never been higher! Tonight at 21:15 CET, KritzKast will be covering all the action as these two titans battle it out on Gullywash and Product. Casted by Spain CeeJaey and Germany DCS with Netherlands Wiethoofd behind the scenes, we hope to see you there!

Season 28 UBF: LEGO vs. SVIFT

Date November 22, 2017

The first Grand Finals participant for ETF2L S28 will be chosen tonight with this UB Final between 1st seed European SVIFT and 2nd seed Denmark LEGO!
These teams are about as close as it gets, with only one point (not counting penalities) separating them on the ETF2L table. When they met in the regular season, the match ended in a draw, with European SVIFT taking Snakewater 5-2 before losing Sunshine 4-3, despite having UnitedKingdom Domo mercing for Denmark LEGO. This would be the first time these two teams met with their full rosters, but (un)fortunately? we might see somewhere around seven mercs… or was it European Se7en mercs? Whatever the case, this will be yet another exciting playoffs match, so be sure to tune in!
Casters will be England TurboTabs and France Ombrack, with International Nicell on production!

Season 28 LBR1: Ascent.EU vs. Lowpander :-3

Date November 20, 2017

The ETF2L S28 Premiership Playoffs continue with this do-or-die match between 3rd seed European Politically correct pander and 4th seed France top5rocket!
Both teams played very close matches against their opponents, though you might not believe the LEGO-Lowpander match was close if you only look at the 7-2 ETF2L point scoreline. Despite having Crayon and papi mercing for them, Lowpander were able to put up a very good showing against LEGO+ Drackk, taking a golden cap on Reckoner before losing Gullywash and Prolands by 1 round each, 5-4 and 2-1 respectively. Ascent.EU (+KRAFTYDAVE in for Néo) narrowly lost to 1st seed SVIFT 5-4, winning Gullywash 2-0 before narrowly losing Reckoner in a golden cap and falling on Process in an exciting 5-3 game.

When these two teams met in Week 2 of the regular season, the game was once again closer than the 5-1 scoreline would suggest, with Lowpander winning Prolands in a golden cap and taking Gullywash 4-2. Lowpander might want to take that result into account as they pick maps. However, with both teams fielding at least one merc/replacement for this game, and factoring in the experience both teams gained over the course of the season and the close matches they just had, this could be anybody’s game. Best of luck to both teams!

Casters will be alba and WARHURYEAH, with degu on production!
