The EuroCup groupstage has passed and the teams participating in the playoffs to get into the grand lan finals in August got found. While Teamoxid went off the road after some lineup changes with an unlucky third place, other teams proved their quality and will fight it out to pass through.
With 6.000€ prizemoney, this seasons EuroCup proved the worth having the very top and very best matches in an online event. Next to the famous CODQCUP its maybe the last of its kind teams and the whole community taking care off.

Getting the top of the top - Group A
With Dignitas having only one loss against the group's very top eSuba, the group got their favorites right in front of Infused-Gaming who proved their EC worthy with only loosing against these two but owning the rest of the group. With the Aksioo Gaming Group on rank 4 another new name in the CoD2 scene didn't proved their true power and ended up right in front of the German Replika (former Team.coolTronik) and the former Vicious and Evil Team taking the new, funny name GayUnit in the EuroCup after ending at the last place.

The German one - Group B
With two german teams participating not as the favorites to win, only one team was able to pass through as second of the group. With gfive starting as Team adacom ends as fifth and unofficially last place of the group, the team with the sniper-god kohlii didn't make it into the end. Right in front of team, Team EDiT didn't get through as well getting the forth place right behind the second finnish team Insigna Cadre. The first rank of the group came up to noone else than Team Logitech, ended up as second at CPC2 and now getting their favor role proved and reached the playoffs.
I caught up the one and only - unbeliveble and most of the time realy annoying SPEEDLINK Trigger to get his point of view on the groupstage as well as on the upcoming playoffs and the WSVG. The GIGA2 moderator for CoD2 had to say the following words:
We are happy to be part of the Eurocup Playoffs once again. Our Group had some big names and with 3 wins and only 1 loss against a really well playing Logitech we are ending as 2nd of the Group - with the same Points as the first - Logitech. We dont know exactly how the playoffs gonna work out for us. It really depends on the maps we have to play and if they use Smoke or not. Also our hard prepation for the WSVG in Dallas (USA, Texas) will be a consideration for the EC Playoffs and makes it really hard for us. But overall i guess we gonna handle it kinda good and looking forward to the WSVG in July.

Starting with the bad things - Group C
Two dropouts and 1 additional forfeit made this EuroCup very intense and saved us many hot moments. With stheno proving no EuroCup worthy in group C and dropping after loosing clearly against other teams, reason gave up their last match and added a default win for the groups second defusekids. Out team lost against them and didn't make it into the playoffs. The international mix team of tek-9 made it through and pushed up their favorite role to get the first place in here without a single loss. The czech team nEcro also didn't make it on the very top and ended up on the 4th place.

Making the impossible happend - Group D
With H2K missing 2 matches, serious, H2K and neophyte can still make it into the playoffs.
With impact, a new light on the Call of Duty sky came up and proved their italian power to get the first spot into the playoffs. With beating serious gaming in their first group match, they made the first step for serious' way down to take the 5th place just in front of the german Bouncer4You Gaming team which could not get onto their ambitious road as they did in the german IPS qualifiers earlier this month. neophyte as CPC2 participant taking the second ticket into the playoffs and leaving H2K Gaming as third and Copenhagen eSports forth in the back.
