Tonight at 21:00CET (20:00GMT) we will see the much awaited clash between kiLLu and the peoples favourite luxxiz in the semi-finals of Clanbase's prestigious Eurocup.
The pair have only ever played eachother once in an official match, which was in the ESL European Nations Cup. In this meeting kiLLu took a comfortable win in straight maps with luxxiz struggling to cope with the pressures of the nation.
Now he plays for only himself and without dropping a single map throughout the entire tournament, he is certainly the favourite to take the win in the rematch. Not only has kiLLu lost a map but he's lost a full match (2-1) to eSubaH&nn!bal in the group stages of the tournament. Both players have been swayed by Quake 4 and therefore lack the amount of practice they may have once had.
I managed to get a few words with both competitors and get their thoughts on how the game: -
The winner will go on to face ScrMz! in the finals competing for $250 and the title as Europe's best UT2004 dueller, while the loser will face roBBe for third place. This is not a match you want to miss!
Time of match
21:00CET/20:00GMT/15:00EST (i think) 30/01/2006

luxxiz said:Hopefully the match will be close but ends in my favor. He said in his interview that ironic was his favorite map so I guess he will pick it against me aswell and I hate that map so.. So I'd say 2-1 in maps to him! =)
kiLLu said:I've played luxxiz only once at the enc versus Sweden last year. I won easily by 2-0. This time I doubt it's gonna be as effortless as last year due to his great performance during the group stage. It's not possible for me to predict how the match will go because this is the thing that makes the game exciting. Nevertheless I want to win this.
