Lots of upcoming matches this weekend for the CPM Masters Cup losers bracket. I will, however, start from the most important match of the Winners Bracket, round 3. Fashionably late, two of the strongest Polish duellers face each other this Saturday. The winner will meet Vo0 whereas the loser will have to fight his way out of the lower bracket:
Winners Bracket, Round of 16
jon4than vs.
zoom [fixture]
What can I say about these guys.
Zoom is a legend in Polish CPMA being the #1 player in all the LAN tournaments. Online, he's not as effective but still a seriously good player. He's been inactive for a long time though, so we'll have to see how much of his old mad rushing skill he can recover for this game.
Jon is another top5 player who is in great shape these days. Contrary to zoomer he is defensive, playing a very smart game coupled with the trademark Polish LG.
All options are open for this one but I believe it's going to be 2:1 for jon4than.
snapcase vs.
xero [fixture]
Swedish veteran
snapcase returns to CPMA after a long break in PK and WoW. He will be fighting versus
xero, another veteran CPMA player playing from Canada. Snapcase may be more rusty than xero but I believe his skill can overcome this and take it 2:0.
apheleon vs. mistral [fixture]
Apheleon looked rusty in his games vs. Vo0 so he ended up in the lower bracket. Now he has to beat N. Irish player
mistral in order to continue. Mistral has gone a long way since he first started playing but I don't believe that's enough to beat the 2 times champion apheleon. Aph 2:0
marker vs.
pl1 [fixture]
Not only
marker lost to dziku, he now has to face the other top Polish dueller,
pl1, in the LB. His performance vs. dziku was impressive, so maybe he can cause an upset this time? Logic says 2:0 for pl1, marker, however told me it's gonna be 2:1 for him :D
[hide=D|S-griffin vs. silas]
griffin vs.
silas [fixture]
Another quality match.
Silas is well known in the CPMA community playing an important role in na's success in the TDM and CTF scenes. A good dueller with impressive aim, he takes on Canadian Quake4 player
griffin
