France vs Finland

This is the match everyone was waiting for from the start of NationsCup. After a long group stage and a very entertaining playoff, it has come to only 2 teams to battle for the NationsCup Winner Title. And who else to play the final but 2 teams who already won it before.

France won last season of NationsCup after defeating Hungary in the final. However, in the groupstage they lost one match against Finland, 16-2 on de_train. This didn't helped Finland who only finished 3rd last season after losing to Hungary in the semi-finals and defeating Austria in the 3rd place Final. This season France played very well and didn't lost any match. They made a draw in the group stage against Denmark, but defeated everyone else including Uk and Poland. In the playoffs they eliminated Netherlands in the quarter finals and Slovakia in the Semi-Finals, both with 2-0. Finland didn't do so good in the group stage, after losing to Sweden and Czech Republic. But they got the last qualifier spot defeating the rest of the teams.. Even if in the playoffs they got the most hardest part of the bracket, Finland played very well, eliminating Denmark, Germany and Sweden in the semi-finals.

The line-up for Finland will be aNGeldusT, delonge, kononen, SAMITSKY and CISU. As for France the line-up is still unclear. They played the last 2 playoff matches without some of the top verygames players so it would be interesting to see who plays tonight give the importance of the game. Either way, France has a lot of good players that could form any time a competitive team.

As for the maps, the teams didn't decided yet, but we could see Finland picking de_train who was crucial for the last playoff matches against Germany and Sweden. France could go with de_dust2 on which they defeated Netherlands and Slovakia. Either way you look at this, there is a very good chance a third map will be played and we can hope for nothing less.

This will be a top match everyone should see. Finland will try to win their second NationsCup final after they won the first CS:S NationsCup.As for France they have a to defend the title after winning it last season. Who will win it ? Remains to be seen. The match can be watched on SourceTV and Live Stream from QuadV with Jay. Also NerdVibes.fr will be shoutcasting the match on their radio, so french players could tune in for that.

Sweden vs Slovakia

Tomorrow Sweden and Slovakia will play for the 3rd place in NationsCup XII CS:Source. Both teams lost the Semi-Finals after a close match, France and Finland proved to be two teams on top of their game. Now they have to fight each other and win the last podium place.

Slovakia won all matches from the group stage, defeating Russia and Belgium, and Czech Republic in the playoffs. Sweden also won all matches from the group stage, defeating Czech Republic and Finland and Norway in the playoffs. If both teams had the same path in the cup, this match will make the difference.

Most of the players from Sweden also played in the previous cup 2 season ago when they won the NC final. For tomorrow's game the line-up could look the same as the game against Finland, maybe with 1 or 2 changes. As for Slovakia, their line-up was the same for every game in this NC, which worked well until the match against France. I doubt they would change the line-up for that.

Probably one of the maps of the game will be de_inferno, as it was picked for most of the playoff matches and maybe de_nuke or de_train. Still remains to see what the teams will pick, either way, every map will bring plenty of action and skill from these 2 great teams and we have every reason to hope for a 3 mapper 3rd place final.

The action will start from 20:00 CET and you can watch it live on SourceTV !

France vs Slovakia

Tonight we will find out the last team to qualify for the NationsCup XII CS:Source Final. It's France or Slovakia, and both teams are ready for this match.

France will start the match as previous Cup winners. They won group A and defeated Netherlands in the quarter final. They didn't lost any map this current NC which makes them favorites for this match.
Slovakia won group D, defeating all teams including Russia and Belgium. In the quarter finals Slovakia defeated Czech Republic in 3 maps. This is their first NC Semi-Final, and they don't want to give it all up just now.

France played against Slovakia last season too, in the group stage. It was a match on de_train which France won with 16-12. Both teams improved since last year and both have the chance to qualify for the playoff. Who will win it remains to be decided on the server. Make sure you don't miss this important game of the NationsCup. Watch it tonight on SourceTV, livestream QuadV with Jay or radio shoutcast with Nerdvibes.fr

Finland vs Germany

Top match tonight between Finland and Germany. Last season Finland knocked Germany out of the cup in Quarter Finals in 2 maps, now these two teams meet up again in the same playoff stage.

Germany played very well in the group stage, finishing first of group B, while Finland came 3rd in group C, after Sweden and Czech Republic. In the first playoff stage, Finland knocked Denmark out after 2 maps, and now they look to win this match too. Can they win it again against Germany ? Watch this match tonight on sourceTV and find out!

France vs Netherlands

Interesting match tonight between France and Netherlands. France is the previous cup winner, has won group A without losing a match, and now faces Netherlands for the place in the Semi Finals.

Netherlands is a surprise for this stage of the cup, coming from group B, with only 2 victories and 1 draw, they won last match against Belgium. Even if this team doesn't have the best line-up Netherlands could offer, they made it so far in this cup, they will try to win tonight's match aswell. Watch the action on SourceTV!

Norway vs Sweden

The first Quarter Final for ClanBase NationsCup CS:Source XII is tonight! Norway and Sweden meet in this very tight game that will decide the first Semifinalist.

The teams started in different groups, Sweden winning group C with 5 victories,defeating teams like Czech Republic and Finland. Norway qualified for the playoffs from 3rd in group B, after losing to Germany and drawing with Netherlands. In the first qualifying phase, Norway defeated Russia in an exciting 3 mapper, that awarded them this place in the quarter finals.

Tonight's match is going to be very interesting between two Scandinavians teams, both very good and eager to prove they can win this season. Don't miss the action on SourceTV!
