Questions to interceptor

#1 Your favorites and playing the last game for this season vs Slackers, how will you knock Slackers from the EQL5 first spot?

We are favorites? Man, who would've thought... Well, to the point; Although we haven't played together much since the NQR10 finals

We still have worked quite a lot on out teamplay during our, I guess I could call, short time together. So if we get our minds together and play like we ought, our teamplay will be the key.

#2 Who do you fear the most in slackers and why?

I don't 'fear' anyone in Slackers, but they are all good players. I don't know yet how the lineup will look, but all players got diffrent skills.

ParadokS can make some great quadruns and lg takeovers.
Murdoc got a very good rl so we need to watch out for some nice long shots from him.
Dragon often sneaks into RA from nowhere and turns the map.
Lacsap got some nice aim and is a sneaky bastard.
I nsane is just insane.

#3 What will your lineup look like, will we see seese?

I think it will be Rock, Valla, Riker and Me playing with Razor as backup. Not our most played lineup, but it's a really powerfull one.

#4 Any coments to Slackers before the game?

We got more dots then you, fear them.

Slackers

News:
Will dragon take lacsap's spot in the final? He was amazing in the Semifinals with his sensitivity 100 Quad-runs.

Players:
-ParadokS
-Murdoc
-lacsap
-insane
-dragon

Questions to Insane

#1 how will you manage to win vs the current unbeatable stars of Dag?

We will try to play our solid teamplay as usual and hope it will work better this time. Game vs cmf showed we`re still capable of winning vs top teams so i give us some chances here

#2 How will your lineup look like, will lacsap spectate this time again?

well he`s not in the topic on our tactic channel so i guess we will go with our usual lineup, consisting me smurrie para and dragoni

#3 who do you fear the most in Dag and why?

they have valla and hes always dangerous but i remember tco played really good on dm3 last time so he might be dangerous aswell

#4 Any comments to Dag before the game?

dont rape us cuz its last div1 final game before summer break

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Renzo's prediction
Dag has been showing some real promise lately, beating both cmf and sr in official matches so why stop there.
They seem to be hungry enough to take the victory by 3-2 (for dag). The maps they can win are DM3 and uh, actually DM2 and E1M2 too


Johnny_cz prediction
Slacker can show nice performance against Allstars in dm3, where they
have already defeated them this year and also they have potential to
win Claustrophobolis, where they defeated Clan MalFunction a week ago.
However my guess is that Slackers got way too much satisfied of that
match and therefore they will lose 2-3 to DAG. I'm looking forward to
see the best decider map of this year!


QQshka's predictions
i think and hope it will be close game.
I think SR will win, but i will support DAG, think so, dunno, hard to say since I havent seen any pracs. 3-1 win for SR


Ake_vader's prediction
After my faulty prediction on the SR vs cMF game where i thought it
would be 3-2 for SR, instead of 3-0, anything can happen in this final.
Slackers are most likely fielding the same four as in the cMF game
(Paradoks, Dragon, Murdoc, Insane) which is good - never split a winning
team! DAG has a lineup in their topic that says Rock, Riker, Valla and
Interceptor. That's a good lineup, but a big question mark for Razor! If
Razor playes then their chances will increase a lot since he's been very
hot lately. Anyway, i think SR will make a good opening, winning two
maps, DM3 and DM2, then losing E1M2 and the next map. The last map will
be a coin flip - it could go either way. I think Dragon will settle the
whole thing with a hot 999 sensitivity Quad run on DM2 in the last 30
seconds though. 3-2 for SR and it was a good game.


Pez prediction
3:1 in favor of dag because i have faith in razoir and inte

Latency's prediction
Hopefully this final will be more entertaining than the latest 3-0 NQR final. That said, I actually do think that this final is going to be more even and exciting. Team-DAG's advantage has to be the better individual skill, and with razor running hot these days he should surely be able to provide some damage. The core team of SR has played together for quite a while now, and even if their teamplay is having a "bad" day, it's still running relatively good. Good teamplay want do it alone though, and if SR wants to succeed they will have to rely on danish-> \o/ star-player ParadokS having a good day. Predictions are hard, but I think (and hope) it will be a 3-2 victory for Slackers.

Faustov's prediction
"I think this tourney win reppie" (C) Pooll But seriously, I thought
that SR won't be beaten until I friggin lost 200 bucks in Goldrush, when
they failed against Dag. That day I was damn sure I will never bet my
money on SR ever again, especially if it is going to be a SR - Dag final.
And apart from all prejudices and odd fate turns, I havent seen insane
praccing recently, so the "own them from above high rl @ dm2" man may turn
to be unable to show top notch efficiency this time. Don't get the wrong
idea, as I am still quite sure each map will be the kind of omg-so-close. Just
the current Dag lineup quite frankly bears gold. 3-0 vs CMF should be enough
of a proof for that. A 3-2 win in favor to Dag I see, where SR should take
home dm2 or I enjoy eating pickled eggs :K One thing to be sure, you just
can't miss this game!


Memil's prediction
With some razorluck, rikerspam and vallatactics DAG will win this game like a walk in the park. 3-0 to DAG and not even bat-para-man can do anything about it.


ibh|123's prediction
ok i'll predict 3-2 against SR again... they proved me entirely wrong beating CMF 3-0, however looking at the DAG lineup, the choice of players they have and at the group game, i see DAG as favorites.. i stand ready to be proven wrong again though

Ill go with a 3-1 win for Dag
2007-05-26, 13:00
omg! can't wait!!
2007-05-26, 13:16
nice pre-game stuff! these things make the matches and the game funnier
and im not benched hehe it´s just that i only played one eql game and barely praced at all with the eql team. So its a bit lame to just jump into the final. Riker and valla didnt play NQR so they will play all maps I guess. I am hoping to just play e1m2 and im satisfied
2007-05-26, 13:53
good job sassa
2007-05-27, 11:09
waiting
2007-05-27, 11:36
I'd say it goes 3-1 for DAG since they've much better lineup. however, the absence of razor is a drawback.
2007-05-27, 13:18
ihhhhh, can't wait 8)
2007-05-27, 15:43
