ALTERNATE aTTaX

Manuel 'Approx' Zeitz

ALTERNATE aTTaX is the Most Valuable German team of the year and they have realized a season without a hitch. At the beginning of the season, when aTTaX has lost Kapio, it was a hard question to know if they were going to be on the top level. They answered for us playing very well and developping their own game, based on great skills. For a lot of people, they are now the best German team but they have to confirm it at these Finals. If they keep on their trend, the aTTaX will be able to repeat their performance of the WSVG and the last ESWC where few were waiting them. Considering the players, we have a strong cadre with CHEF-KOCH and mooN, the two remaining players of the last aTTaX's generation, supported by paN and roman who are part of the best German's players and approx who realized a great comeback!

Announcing their new line up, mousesports was pretty sure to do an incredible season. Even if the season has been pretty good, the overall performances weren't as great as expected. Kapio is nowadays considered as one of the best German players, as he is constant in a very good level, and every player is trying to avoid him when he has an awp in hand! The other four players are used to play on top and have the needed experience to turn in their favour every situation. Their recent second place at the ESWC qualifier means that they can beat teams like pod and 360eSports. But still, if you consider their season in EPS.de, or in Eurocup Clanbase, you might notice that they can get surprised by such teams if they aren't in their best shape! Moreover, they have lost two times versus aTTaX in the qualifiers, and they seem a bit under the CHEF-KOCH fellows level. If they have trained well, mouz have a chance to finish first, but it will be a really hard work for them!

360eSports is the great surprise of this EPS.de season. Nobody expected them in the playoff, but here they are, and they will fight though to get back home with no regrets. They are young and skilled players, and the gameplay style can surprise a bunch of team, as they have already managed to win over teams like ID Gaming, mouz, pod.hama and mTw. Few are the teams able to achieve such a good performance, but their defeat versus TBH show they aren't unbefeatable. This kind of team, coming from almost nowhere, is very hard to play for teams like aTTaX and mousesports who may underestimate them. They have a strong game and if they are hot, they may create a new surprise in this EPS.de season!

The last team qualified for these Finals who has get the amount of point in the last playday is pod.hama. The fight was tight with mTw and TBH to get the spot and it's the men of MukuH who got it. Not so surprising, when you see the end of their season. Actully, their level has been increasing playday by playday and even if their beginning of season was not so good, the end was almost perfect. They are the only team who hasn't lost versus aTTaX and they have won great matches against teams like ID Gaming or Competo. The bad point is their result in the ESWC qualifier: they finished top8 and did not realize an incredible performance. They will need to play better if they want to finish in a good place at these finals. With the players they have, it is possible!
