The Call of Duty 2 EuroCup is underway with it's first match week gets finished. It's the perfect moment to check out all groups. Together with our very own McDonalds-only player flowster I've checked through the groups and teams.


What is oxid's first match and what do u expect from the eurocup?

se flowster: Actually we arent sure when our first match is cuz admins seems to have messed things up, I'ts either against Necro or Defusekids. Both teams should clearly be beatable by us, haven't even heard of Necro but still we won't underestimate any teams. However I really feel like we could have a good start with 2 nice wins here. Well to me every group is hard, But if I had to pick one I'd pick group B, alot of good teams in there that could cause upsets for everyone else


For those german visitors, 4 teams are in with speedlink, adocom and B4ywatch - bouncer4you ofcourse. Trigger gets shown on GIGA regulary aswell as kohlii, is call of duty just about the media or is skill also important when checking these german teams?

se flowster: Well Giga choose the 2 german players that has accomplished the most. So I'd say first of all it's all about skill. Trigger did win alot with speedlink and kohli went to a couple of abroad lans with his team so I think that skill comes first. Then media, I mean why would giga choose to do something about a team that is totally crap?
Neither of the german teams are that good atm, Speedlink was coming back, practicing fairly active but their result at cpc2 shows they still have alot of work to do. Adocom is a team that can beat any other team on a really good day but most days they simply loose. B4y and Evo will be in this EC to watch and learn, to bad for the german community but the hopes must be put on Team Speedlink, and they could go far, they just have to


Group A
cz eSuba
uk Dignitas
fr emuLate
de evo.play
se Vicious and Evil
uk uMu

Team Dignitas as favorite for one of the playoffs spots - the team which took speedlinks crown in last years CPC. eMulate, so called online only because of a not so well perfomance at lans yet - which may come ofcourse - and esuba, three teams able to get the victory including ambitious underdogs like the swedish vicious and evil. Do you know them all? Especially those other swedes who will defintly try to get the swedesh no.1?

se flowster: To me dignitas arent clear favourites at all. They havent performed exceptionally since their win at cpc2, fact is theyve done really bad. I think digntias will have to struggle witht aking one of the top2 spots from emulate and esuba who will play this really good... since it's online. Evo and UMU might cause the occational upset but I really dont see neither of them going through, as for VAE they should be happy with making it to EC


Group B
de SPEEDLINK
de adocom
fi Logitech
uk hMg
fi cadre
nl EDiT

The yermans including the possibly most ambitious fins after junk52 went down the road, logitech.fi is right on the top with their second place on the cpc. Also EDiT with their result on the slap.dk(? or was it a dutch lan? no clue about the name) and their win in the qualifiers for the cpc2 showed their ambitious even with loosing against you aswell as esuba and serious in the groupstage what do you expect in this group?

se flowster: I think logitech will have a hard time in this group, their practice partner cadre is in the same group wich can cause upsets, and if both adacom and speedlink get their shit together this could be a really interesting group. Logitech will stand as slight favourites but it will be a hard one. Edit is a team that can cause upsets to any team on a good day, kind of like adocom. This is the msot open group in EC ) If I had to choose 2 teams to go through I'd choose Logitech and Speedlink/cadre (Editor note: nice choosing 3 teams :p)


Group C
ox Teamoxid
eu tek9
eu stheno
uk Reason
be defusekids
cz nEcro

Reason as the second top team in the UK including an international Tek9 as second of the SHGopen and stheno as a big clan behind. Aswell as ourselfs in there, what do you think about the others? Who will make it on the top at the end?

se flowster: Well our group could go either way. Tek9 will probably dominate the group followed by either us or reason, stheno could also cause upsets. This group will go down to what map u get to play what team on and I both and think we will pull through the playoff stages


Group D
it impact
cz nEophyte
dk CPH
eu Hard2Kill
de Bouncer4You
nl serious-gaming

The group which already made the impossible happend - with serious loosing their first match to team impact makes the very top wide open. With Copenhagen, Hard2Kill and serious, three top teams are in while one underdog already proved their ec worthy. Who will finish on top and what skills is behind those teams?

se flowster: Well I think all 3 favourite teams will compete for the first price, if serious gets back on track they wont loose another game so it's gonna be up to h2k and copenhagen to decide who pulls through, their in kind of the same situation as in our group with Team impact as the underdog causing upsets
