CPM Masters Cup continue, with round 4 of the Winners Bracket. Yesterday, snapcase didn't feel like playing vs. xero so that match was canceled. To fill the gap we have 4 exciting matches for you, starting from dziku vs. LuGia which takes place today.
Winners Bracket, Quarter Finals
dziku vs.
LuGia [
fixture]
Dziku has been consistent in his performance so far in this cup but then again he hasn't had much opposition yet.
LuGia comes from an impressive although very close win over NA's best pla
yer in this cup, vamp1re. LuGia has the aiming skills but his map control is still just average. Dziku is not as an impressive aimer but he has tons more experience than his opponent. I believe dziku is going to take this but I wouldn't rule out 1 map going to LuGia
koddy vs.
xero [
fixture]
Number 1 seed
koddy faces
xero of Canada. Not only is koddy one of the top pla
yers in this cup, but xero is mainly a CTF pla
yer and not a dueller. If this ends up anything else than 2:0, you know the game's been fixed.
hoens vs.
rat [
1:2]
Vo0 vs.
zoom [
fixture]
Both pla
yers are CPMA legends.
Vo0 doesn't really need an introduction. Second only to rat back in the day, he was one of the best pla
yers to ever grace this game. His tradermark all-attacking 'ownage' st
yle and quick movement has now reached a higher level. Influenced by PK's constant moving around he's more fluid than ever.
Zoom, a legend in his own right, has been winning all the Polish tournaments since he was 15 years old. His aim used to be deadly to the point where he didn't care about items. A long break in Q4 has seriously affected him however, so he will have to try very hard to beat his opponent this time. From the few recent demos I've watched, I doubt that he can do it, nevertheless these will be close matches. Vo0 wins this 2:0.
vamp1re vs.
pl1 [
fixture]
For those of you who aren't aware of the cup's rules, the 3rd match is played on the server where there's less ping difference between the two pla
yers. In this case, this means that the 3rd map will be played on the Lazery servers in the UK, where
vamp pings 87 and
pl1 57 thus making the latter, the favorite. That is, if he was playing like a favorite. Pl1 however, has made a series of poor appearances in this cup and has underperformed in his previous matches. This will be an even battle and unless pl1 really want this win, I don't see him taking it. vamp1re 2:1.
zerox vs.
nekon [
2:0]
Not much to say about this all German matchup.
Zerox is a good dueller and star pla
yer of the TDM and CTF teams of noobs anonymous.
Nekon is a very good TDM/CTF pla
yer but he hasn't been very active lately. Furthermore, his duelling experience is rather limited. If zerox doesnt take this 2:0 I'll eat my hat.
GNZ vs.
apheleon [
0:2]
GNZ is a Swedish dueller who has been around for a long time.
Apheleon doesn't need an introduction, he's one of the legends of CPMA with 2 Challenges ti
tles under his belt. This isn't 2002 though and aph has been inactive for a very long time. GNZ on the other hand, has been playing often. What this means is that this match will be close. I suppose apheleon is going to pick cpm15 to play in Europe as he is very good on that map. GNZ will prolly pick cpm3a or 22 to play on the NYC server. I think aph will take this 2:1.
sivek vs.
silas [
fixture]
Sivek is one of these pla
yers who are very annoying to play against. Calculated moves, no unecessary risks and frequent +back. The thing is, he gets the job done and that is winning matches.
Silas is a decent dueller with great aim and nice movement. This, however will be more of a mind/tactics game and Silas should choose carefully when's he's going to push for more frags and when he'll play more conservative. Sivek had a good game vs. Vo0 on cpm3a so this will be close. Silas to win 2:1
