Third map in the grand final
Mousesports needed just seven rounds to beat Roskilde's record from yesterday winning just three rounds in a best of three. But the Germans had much going for. They were the first team of this tournament which won a map against fnatic. The second map ended in favour of fnatic, although mousesports played already six times de_inferno during the last three days. So de_tuscan will determine the new European Champion of the Intel Extreme Masters.

Easy money for the Swedes vs. Ravens
I'm not quite sure whether fnatic is that outstanding or Roskilde Ravens is really that bad. After watching threat and Get_RiGhT it seems pretty clear, fnatic is in an extremely good shape. A tough challenge just ahead of mousesports in tomorrow's final match. Roskilde has to go for revenge against the next best Swedish team, SK Gaming, for the third place.
See you tomorrow, there are champions to be crowned!

Germans are back on top
On de_dust2 mousesports needed 22 rounds less deciding the map to their favour. Since SK forced them into two overtimes on de_inferno which resulted in 46 rounds, 26 of them were won by mousesports.
Now mousesports is back at the international cream of the crop, after two embarrassing performances at the Global Challenges in Chengdu and Dubai, where they didn't survive the groupstage. Especially their latest addition, madfragger Roman 'roman' Ausserdorfer, played a superb match and won various rounds for his team.
Who will be their last challenge for the European crown?

While mousesports and SK Gaming are competing for advancing into the grand final, the game for the fifth place took place. But it wasn't far from being as exciting as the current live match on ESL TV. Especially the second map was very onesided. oXmoze wasn't able to get more than one round and lost 1:16 to to KerchNET.

30 rounds of the first map between mousesports and SK Gaming are over. It's the first map, de_inferno. Both teams gathered 15 rounds and overtime will decide who's going to be in favor. Remember the overtime rules? There will be MR5 and a startmoney of $16,000.
Update: One overtime wasn't enough, but at the second one the Germans exploded and scored six rounds in a row. They need one more map to win the entire game.

Wind of change touches the Polish team
After a disappointing first day it seems that the Polish players discussed their bad performance. Only one out of four games was won by the winner of the first Intel Extreme Masters season. Their solution is a new seating arrangement at least for the last groupstage match against Millenium. Neo's position changed from the far left to the half right. Therefore Loord, TaZ and kuben had to move left.

The first day of the Intel Extreme Masters European Championship Finals is over. KerchNET and oXmoze performed better than most people expected and have very good chances to reach the relegation and even the playoffs. The Danish superstars of mTw.dk didn't found their A play and even missed a relegation spot. Now they have to hope for the fourth place in their group to get to the World Championship at CeBIT in March.
Tomorrow we will start with the last and final playdays of both groups followed by the relegation matches. Thanks for watching and good night. See you tomorrow!

Roskilde stays undefeated
For today all four playdays of group A are finished. The Danish Ravens are already qualified for the relegation. mousesports can still eliminate MeetYourMakers or SK Gaming and qualify for the relegation. AGAiN and Millenium lost every chance to advance in the tournament. AGAiN can still hope for the ninth slot and might get to the Intel Extreme Masters World Championship as a replacement if one team drops. Therefore they have to get their their A play back in their last game and win against Millenium.

Two more CS teams for CeBIT
14.01.2010 16:16
MYM and Roskilde qualified for World Championship
Besides the prize money the European Championship Finals offer six spots for the World Championship. So a team need to place at least third in its group to qualify. If SK Gaming or fnatic reach top3 in their groups, even a fourth place would result in a qualification. After four played games each POPPERS! and MeetYourMakers can already book their tickets for CeBIT 2010. mousesports needs one point out of two matches to get the last spot in group A.
Update: Our tournament director Baschi just informed me that MYM isn't qualified for the World Championship so far. If fnatic doesn't make it to the top3 in group B MYM has to win a game for the seventh place to qualify.

After the first two rounds played the Danish team Roskilde Ravens is the only one winning both of its matches and is therefore on top of group A followed by the Swedish teams with a victory and a draw each. Millenium and even AGAiN already have two losses on their side and need to win their next games to keep the chance for reaching the playoffs.

kubens gun seems to be drawn
Two weeks ago the Polish star Neo announced the new organisation Guns are drawn. During the last days they revealed three more players including only one new player compared to their line-up over the past years. pasha replaced Luq, but the fifth player is still not revealed. Time to have a look at the Polish guys, since they are playing here in Cologne at the moment. Although they are still playing under the name AGAiN they're wearing t-shirts featuring a Guns are Drawn logo. And guess what, kuben is wearing this t-shirt as well.

The Swedes placed second at the Last Chance Cup, but even more impressive was their second place at the Global Challenge Dubai last year beating teams such as fnatic, AGAiN and Wemade Fox.
