As the
.txt TDM Cup has moved to the semi-finals stage, it's time for a little preview of the upcoming matches. In the
winners bracket, we have the oldschool superstars from
team y facing the cup favorite
plus+ while the
ru8)? guys take on
pimpuzski right after their unexpected victory over
roboty.
In the
losers bracket, the superstar team
roboty ameryka is facing the sexiest team in Poland,
seXi, in a match where they will have to try much harder than they did in their previous match, otherwise it's an early bye-byes for dziku and co. In the other losers bracket match,
jizz will have to find a way to overcome the obstacle of
POWERKILLERS in a match where con_filterwhine 1 will be a must.
Following sessions of merciless IRC spamming, I managed to secure for you the commentary of the CPM superstar, .txt Cup head admin and kids' role model,

seXi*sinbad!
sinbad: Omg, i'm so famous! :D
MaJunior: Err... yeah, let's start with

plus+ vs.

team y. I think plus+ is the strongest team in this cup from what i've seen so far.

Snapcase has played CPM TDM for ages and the ex-OSPers

ddk and

link are very experienced as well, having played in div1 OSP clans.
sinbad: And when you add

ahxnxa there, the upcomming star, you got a real powerpack.
MaJunior: Haha yeah, ahxnxa is more than just 4chan.org smileys :)
sinbad: Exactly, plus+ weren't given the number 1 seed for no reason.
MaJunior: Their opponents, team y, are legends in CPM TDM. It's hard to even list all the tournaments they've played in, let's just say it was the only team that could stand up to

Nobles back in the day. They look a bit rusty to me though.
sinbad: They've got tons of experience and devil's aim ; ) I wasn't disappointed, they played nicely in every game, won every map.
MaJunior: They still have better teamplay than any other team i've watched so far but they don't look very comfortable. Like, at some points,

toxter made some rather silly decisions as to who to attack or whether he should hang around an enemy area. I think plus+ players are very strong aiming wise, and even though they play FFA for the most part, I don't think team y is at a level where they can stop them yet.
sinbad: I don't think team y can be a challenge for plus+ either. I also disagree that only team y could stand up to Nobles, you' ve forgotten bout the

nDc. I just love stallone's +forward style ; _)
MaJunior: Aha yeah that was when team y were still new to the game, nDc were quite strong :)

MaJunior: What about the other game?

pimpuszki vs.

ru8)?
sinbad: Well the presence of the

pimp team in the semis is the biggest suprise yet. They took

roboty out, who played like "first time cpma". I think that

roboty are "the real rusties" here, havent seen them playing so bad in like... umm... never :).

ru8)? are in top shape. Funnyb, reptile, rokki and the superstar fox seem to be a real threat for every team in this cup, looks to me that

ru8) will rape innocent poles :)
MaJunior: Looking at the team rosters i never thought

pimp had a chance vs.

roboty, however

dziku's team played with 2 players on very high ping (110+) and still lost in the last minute.
sinbad: I can't agree, i was MVDing that game and on the 2nd map

stal1n had ping around 60-70. They just played bad, really bad and pimp are comprised of decent players, got very nice teamplay which allowed them to win 2 - 0.
MaJunior: Ye I remember

ajss from

cOd, he is a decent player.
sinbad He's a solid, reliable player for sure, but not a match for dziku or

pod1.
MaJunior: 
ru8)? on the other hand have very good players. They play the FFA style too but they don't look as effective as

plus+ to me. They had a very close game with

cgx.
sinbad: Well they play FFA style coz they can afford it. I'm sure that when they will face a real threat for them, they will play brilliantly with great teamplay. 2-0 ez :)
Match fixture
MaJunior: I know

seXi is one of the few Polish clans that don't play drunk. Not sure about drugs though ;D
sinbad: Omg mate, u r sooo wrong ; ) You may see us playing drunk in
Fiku Miku againt

siR! Well, we are trying to get back in shape but it's hard after such a long break from playing together, plus

roboty will be motivated to play for the win.
MaJunior: At least we know your opponents definetely play drunk!

pod1 and

stalin at least,

dziku and

vamp1re are too young ;D
sinbad: I know vamp1re is a virgin too, it will be an interesting game but I don't want to make predictions about the final score so you will have to tell me what you think.
MaJunior: I think it will be 2:0 for seXi tbh. seXi used to be a very good team so i'm hoping some of that will return in time.
sinbad: Have to agree with this hoping part ;)
Match fixture
MaJunior: Final game is

jizz vs.

PK
sinbad: Well POWERKILLERS, even with

Spetz who is better than you and me ;), are not able to take jizz out. jizz with the real sailor

tom are quite a strong team and PK is mostly made up of CTFers so 2-0 for jizz. Maybe 2-1 cause of Spetz
MaJunior: jizz are an old clan and even though I only remember

nekon,

minky and tom (who might not be playing from what I hear) from the old lineup, I believe they're too much for PK, not even

bxz or their superstar player Spetz can save them.

MaJunior: So why exactly are you a superstar again?
sinbad: Propably coz of my famous bed skillz. Chicks just know me
MaJunior: So how about I find your gf on gadu gadu and paste this?
sinbad: Well if u want to see me ever again dont do this!!!!! The Cup will be fun, i hope ;)
MaJunior: Ye some great matches coming up
sinbad: Yes... and, btw. we will rape

roboty :> Thx for the previews mate and for all the work you have put in this cup. I would like to thank

pejn for helping me out few times with refs and demos.
MaJunior: And 'other favors' i may include.
sinbad: Ye thx ;D
