Since NxM and Skydeh are busy with the Worldcup I decided to help a bit by writing a roundup about the first Matchweek of the #26th ET-Cup.

We passed the first Matchweek as nearly all the matches have been played.
If you go through the results you`ll see no unexpected results since none of the underdogs won their matches during the first week.

1st Matchweek results:
Group Alpha:
dtekt eSports vs. immortal 4:0
Meridian vs. aero 4:0

Group Beta:
vicious and evil vs. oceans6 4:0
dvotion vs. team effect 0:4 (defwin)

Group Charlie:
Spreading Death vs. A-Link 4:0
Vfight! vs. Suicide League 4:0

Group Delta:
team-violence vs. 7lives! 4:0
polar esports vs. adapted 4:0

Group Echo:
a.ToOn vs. deAth wAtch 4:0

Group Foxtrot:
[flag=eu] Northern Darkness vs. [flag=eu] xSporting 4:0

Group Golf:
[flag=ee] overload-gaming vs. [flag=be] BoozZe 4:0
[flag=pl] Beyond the Grave vs. [flag=pl] Phobos-Gaming 4:0

Group Hotel:
[flag=il] eSrael.org vs. [flag=il] Devil-inside 4:0
[flag=nl] sereNity-gaming vs. [flag=fi] Xtreme 4:0

So it is on [flag=eu] Phantasmagoria`s (ex Sleepers) shoulders to provide us a surprising win against 6 man mixteam of "known players" playing under the name of [flag=it] eC4 during the first matchweek.
If eC4 are playing as they have been playing so far, I cant see Phantas winning this one.

Match: [flag=eu] Phantasmagoria vs. [flag=it] eC4
Maps: Frostbite and Bremen_b1
Date/Time: Tuesday, 21.00Cet
ETTv: GamesTV.org

Therefore as spectators we would need to wait for the 2nd Matchweek to see an underdog winning against a big name.

Additionally the teams are allowed to change up to 2 players of their ET-Cup Lineup by messaging SPU9 @ #ET-Cup till tonight 22.00 CET - be fast, changes will only be considered if you message in time!

Now I wish all participants good luck and lots of fun
(thx to [flag=fi] decem for fixing the post ;p)
