After Afterlife ET has set 1-1 aggregate in the EuroCup XIX Final, this season will have one more battle to fight. 6 Fins will clash against European team Overload.SNB for the place in Hall of Fame. I've made a 3vs3 before the game, here's the outcome of it:





Homer: First Grand Final match didn't go positively for you. What went wrong?

Reikkeri: Could answer many things such as Meez coming from few weeks of inactivity, because of exams n all. But Afterlife played extremely well and we didn't. Also Id say that the fact that both teams prac quite little, their language gives them a small advantage.

Meez: Without watching the replay I have absoloutely no idea. I really don't remember it very well. I guess it has to do with an inconsistent lineup and no pracs. I do think we try to prac but there is just nobody to play against.

Are you preparing yourself this time?

Reikkeri: I doubt that I'll do any special preparations, I've kinda gotten bored of ET for real, but I'll play the random mixes ( KRP won Celsus in WL alpha!!) and all that usual shit. If you watched me play against pinpals you can see that I'm far from good though.

What do you expect from sunday's game?

Reikkeri: Well, there won't be maps likes of radar/grush, which we all saw what happened. So I'd say it should be a tighter game and we should have a serious chance for the gold. But it's always hard to say beforehand whats gonna happen. I'll still go for the option tight and exciting match!

How much different maps can affect on final outcome of the last game?

Meez: Well I'm not really active in ET so I can't comment on how I think AL will fare on different maps. In fact I'm not even sure how we'll perform. I'm hoping to see whichever of supply/bremen/gold/radar are still selectable as those maps are good and actually fun and I'll be pretty disapointed if an EC final comes down to maps like adlernest and delivery. We used to prac AL a lot before LAN and I always thought they were one of the more consistent topteams on the main four maps so I'm not sure the mapchoices will have too much effect.

What could have happened if Afterlife was present on CC6 ?

Meez: I hate when people bring up CC6 around Afterlife because it's fucking retarded to think they wouldn't perform well on LAN. I think they would have made top 5, LAN is too much of a wildcard to predict with any accuracy.

What are strong and weak points of afterlife at the moment?

perfo: Although I haven't played against afterlife in the past few months (except for the last final) I don't really know. Their strong points are definitely their engineers plus every one of them has a good aim so it's hard to take them down. Don't really know about their weak points, if I did I'd want to exploit them of course and the game should be a bit easier.

Any roster changes for the last game?

Reikkeri: Well we don't have any sixth, but prolly its modus / Meez, in the situation that either wouldnt be here I guess it would be Aza :C

What can you tell about each of SNB players?

perfo: First of there's wiaderko, our new asset. He plays rifle and is known from his former team Impact (with which he played CC5 and CC6). Then there's Sight and joop, both of them play the defensive medic role. Reikkeri is our main engineer and secondary fieldops. Meez is our aggressive medic, and I handle all other needed classes (sort of like the multiclasser of the team).

Who will win EuroCup XIX ?

perfo: I hope we will, let's hope the game will go our way this time unlike last time. We should be prepared a little better than last time, so we have a chance of taking the win this time.

Who to spectate on the last match?

perfo: From Afterlife I'd spec either Sample or ENSAM. From our team it's wiaderko (but you can also spec me if you like).




Homer: What are your impressions after 1st Grand Final Match?

ESNAM: 1st match was easier for us than we expected it to be. They obviously weren't anywhere near their best performance.

Any special preparation to the last season's match?

Sample: Nothing much really. Hopefully it will be a tough battle between great teams.

How much different maps can affect on final outcome of the last game?

ESNAM: A lot. The maps were very good for us in the 1st match. Second final is going to be on maps which are harder for us so I expect it to be a very hard game to win especially if overload have practised at all.

If you were at Crossfire Challenge 6 lan, what could've happened?

Sample: Got beaten up by angry "anti-cheater" nerds.

What are strong and weak points of overload atm?

Sample: Well, I think they don't have as much teamplay as they used to have, because of lineup changes and lack of pracs. If they could reach better teamplay and better personal success, they will be very strong.

What would you say to the guys telling it's the 'lowest EC ever' ?

Sample: I can only laugh. They can't see that former top5 teams like H2k, ButtonBashers, Impact are already eliminated. We can't see butchji or mAus in the finals so it's the lowest EC-final ever. Now, they will reply: " Afterlife is the only clan who cares about ET". "Clans they have beaten, didn't have any interests to win anyway".

What can you tell about each of Afterlife players?

kapaa: ensam as smg engineer is one of the best engineer atm with really nice aim and gamesense.. Sample has become one of the best rifles; he is our keyplayer.. miNd is our fieldops and ingame leader I guess :D great player aswell. Fel lives in a different world :D great medic.. he is also a big fan of mAus ;) And Squall - what can I say, a living legend. And I'm just a personal medic of Ensam, I follow him all the time.

Who will win EuroCup XIX ?

kapaa: It will be a tight game because we can't play radar or gr :D but I guess we can take it.

Who to spectate on the last match?

ESNAM: Sample
