Criogenix vs. lamma correction

pejn: I think that cgx had a very easy group, because dziad unsigned dioxide from the league and maertz was too lazy to play CPMA :( New clans such as 'clan noob' and 'shaft' were not a challenge.
MaJunior: Yes, so far cgx have had an easy time. They were in the easiest group and their inexperienced opponents they could beat with one hand (you know where the other would be xD). This could become a dangerous trap, as they now face an opponent that's much more skilled than their group members. I suppose cgx are aware of that because i've seen them practice on many occasions.

pejn: On the other hand, lamma correction is not the same team that won the ESL Cup in 2005 but they haven't forgotten how to play! Now cgx have solid lineup with bomba, krym, blk or trippy and fluid. I think we can beat them, but not easily ;)
MaJunior: lc is one of the oldest Polish clans, with numerous wins in the past. Granted, the lineup has changed, but they were stong in the group stages, losing two maps to seXi and one very close map to siR. This is the matchup to watch out for in this stage, especially if supahstar roboty player Jon4than plays for lc.

pejn: cgx 2:0. Maps: cpm18r (cgx), cpm4a (lc)
MaJunior: cgx 2-1. Maps: cpm21 (cgx), nodm18/q3dm14tmp (lc)
*PS. I was told by a source I can't disclose, that pejn is torn between marker and trippy for the starting lineup xD

seXi vs. pequod!

MaJunior: seXi have been playing well in all their games which is a good thing, considering their group was probably the hardest in competition. Apart from that sloppy game on cpm27, sinbad and one-man team vafel have been looking very strong.
pejn: seXi defeated all their opponents in their group! Nice matches against lc and siR (especiallly on cpm27!). seXi with sinbad and scoop are very strong and solid with vafel are playing good TDM too.

MaJunior: Pequod! had an easy time in their group, as most clans in it (apart from cgx) were very new. Pequod! themselves are a new clan too, but their members have been around more compared to the others in their group and are more experienced. However, that's where it ends for pequod! and they must hope the scores aren't too high :)
pejn: Pequod! is one of those 'quick clans' for me, they play only in league, never saw them practice.

MaJunior: seXi wins 2:0 ez style. Maps: cpm4a (seXi), cpm21 (pequod!)
pejn: Answer is straight 2:0 for seXi! Maps: cpm4a (seXi), cpm26 (pequod!)

noobs anoynmous vs. evil unleashed

MaJunior: na finished first in group Z without meeting any real resistance, since flaMasters underperformed and c0d's enthusiasm was not enough to stop them.
pejn: I think that na are gonna win. Silas is in good shape now and he's is the n1 for me in na. Him with koddy, zerox, nip and MassMan are a really solid team.

MaJunior: On the other hand, eu finished 2nd in group HWDP but haven't really impressed me with their perfomance, despite them fielding experienced players in their lineup.
pejn: eu have quite the fresh lineup with excellent players, like terr and ix.

MaJunior: I expect an easy 2:0 for na. Maps: cpm27 (na), cpm4a (eu)
pejn: 2:0 for na but not that easy ;> Maps: cpm27 (na), cpm4a (eu)

twoja stara vs. Crew of Destruction

MaJunior: The players in ts are some of the best duellers in the CPMA world today and their skills are unmatched. Hence, they usually go for the FFA style, without paying so much attention to strategy. The current status of the CPMA TDM world sadly favors such tactics, since most of the teams don't work on their strategy at all. In the past, hard-working teams like Abuse, had triumphed over skilled-FFAing clans but teams of that caliber are extinct now.
pejn: Pod1 won't be playing for ts, thats for sure. Dziku, pl1 and snapcase will have to handle c0d.

MaJunior: c0d have had a great run, with WAP being unstoppable in the group stage. They are also one of the more 'thinking' teams in this tournament, (watch out for cpm21 tactics ;D) but I don't believe WAP alone (even with some help from ajss) can handle ts.
pejn: I think this will be a tie! Overtime will be very exciting and I predict a 2:1 for ts.

MaJunior: I predict 2:0 for ts, with cpm21 being closer. Maps: cpm27 (ts), cpm21 (WAP...err I mean cOd xD).
pejn: 2-1 for ts. Maps: cpm27 (ts), cpm21 (cOd)
