looks easier to predict than it really is. Despite fnatic hasn't been in the best shape lately, and despite mTw being on a roll the past months. This is like a derby in soccer. You never know what this match will be like.

Meh de_inferno is probably mTw's strongest map, with Sunde guarding B, and zonic solid on A with their def. strats it seems impossible to make a good result against them on inf.

are you referring to the small bombspot when saying "B" ?
Because as far as I've seen it's mje and zonic as support who are covering the small one, and sunde doing mid/ct archway, whimp doing house.
correct me if I'm wrong ;)

If you get an entry-kill the round is usually yours. Get down the flashes and smokes at the small bombsite, kill the defenders and count with losing one of your own.
Then just sit behind a box and defend ;>

inferno, wow. that's the most interesting map it could be, both these teams are good at inferno but i think mTw will come out on top due to fnatic's playstyle can be a bit easily read on de_inferno from time to time, when they're on a roll (like they were against SK on DreamHack(?)) it doesnt matter though, but since mTw are in the best shape of these two teams right now, i think they'll win

so you must have an older version of your crystal ball, because mine is the 4.1.0.2 beta ultra-truth-crystal ball, which tells me that mTw is going to win

Im betting on fnatic, they are anti-tacted by every top team but really skilled, hope they gonna return with their old form and new tactics. They seems to be more kind than mtw players too, not so keyed up :)

Nice that u call out that fact.
fnatic is maybe the most antitacced team in the world, and now I hope thay are being more flexible with simple strats and let the guns in f0rest and Archi just do the work.
Inferno is a good map for fnatic, and the last time I specced mTw on inf was against cbteam/xprez at wcg and the pulled out a close win then.
I guess fnatic in shape will beat mTw on this map.
The T sides will pick most of the rounds to I guess

inferno, well if fnatic has learned the mistakes in this map against mtw...example how sunde snipes out in ct the fnatic rushes..
but mtw has been playing excellent stable, and moment only i see SK or MyM beign only reasoable opponent...so mtw will take is 16-7

you are right, fnatic practiced not verry often in the past month.
but i think things changed
Archi for example
Counter-Strike
38.2 hrs past 2 weeks
and now they also got GeT_RiGhT so im sure they will be practicing alot more now
:D

easy, just need to have the person in steam-friends and then have a look on his steamID page.
there it shows how maney hours the person have been playing counterstrike
(or any other game that runs on the steam plattform) the past 2 weeks.

tbh fnatic kinda sucked in the second half of the 08 wich was filled with tournaments whilist mTw was the team to beat .
mtw to win cause fnatic is overrated anyway.

To be consequent you should give the results of the earlier meetings, there was even an article about half a year ago, where mTw were talking about looking forward to the match with mym cause they used to loose against them every meeting before and that time they antitacted them in groups but lose in brackets. Now mtw seems to be better, but overall it looks as if mym is the one.
Yes, another pl fanboy ;P

GO WHIMP AND ZONIC!
Seriously folks, fnatic is old news. They've fallen behind and have not adapted to the new styles of playing. They've been using the same strats and same players for years now. They're not going to break any records until they find a new formula. Then again... It is 2009 and they have had a while to sit and think.... Will be interesting to watch them play for the first time this year, for sure, but I still think this match will have sunde and zonic written all over it.
Zonic even said in an interview last year that they love playing fnatic because their style fits right in with their's and so they love playing fnatic.
I dunno, will be a good match either way...

Get_Right wont play, quote of fnatic comments of the match against Amazing Gaming:
Comment by GeT_RiGhT - 10 hrsThumbs: 0 Nice match guys, hope you win tomorrow against mTw :)

wouldn't be too wise anyway to play with gtr in the lineup of fnatic, because they really need a stable, fine-tuned lineup against mTw, and with gtr it would simply be too unusual, and they don't have that much experience playing with him. So it's quite obvious that gtw won't play

I understand that, never said I didn't!
but I just think that it wouldn't be wise for fnatic to play with a less experienced lineup (with gtr) against this strong mTw.
This does not mean that I think they have never trained with gtr; it would actually be very stupid to ad a player you have never played with ;)

lol.... i clicked this to see how many would say "Is GeT_RiGhT playing".
I counted 20 and got bored.
For those that don't understand, it is like a locked roster - so you cannot just bring in any player any time. Thats why sometimes you see some teams play this event with their manager or with 4 :)
Hope that helps :P
So, <B>NO</B> GeT_RiGhT
[ink]www.rakaka.se/?news_id=8657 is wrong.
Or at least in the past the new players haven't been able to play. As either nomad or nixon wrote - transfer period for players = Christmas - New Year.
I have spoken to StreeT at fnatic, and he has confirmed that GeT_RiGhT WILL NOT be playing.

mTw probably win this match, but not easy. Though fnatic bad form, but they can prove that is pierce victory. My guess match score 16-13 for mTw.dk, but good luck fnatic.

I vote for mTw, a young, perspective and impudent command, I wish them a victory! And Fnatic. All of us perfectly know, on what they are capable! There will be an interesting game! Russia, Kaliningrad - for mTw! =)

In theory, GeT_RiGhT could play, if he uses ins steamaccount the only people who would know would be the players in fnatic. I think ins would just be bored of having to play, all though he might just do it for his friends in fnatic.

Yes that's true, all though they might have practised already. Besides I don't know if the game is so important for fnatic, it would be good training for GeT_RiGhT to play against mTw.

I think that game end decisive three subject.
1. Fnatic play very good and organized
2. mTw.dk this time be lacking luck
3. Good game for cArn and f0rest
I must say "Probably fnatic reborn"

funny how everyone is commenting how ins should stay and they should kick gtr.
everyone just seems to forget that it was ins who wanted to leave and fnatic surely did everything possible to make him stay so nothing will chance no matter how well they keep on playing

Yup 16:2. It's sad to see the result. But im sad to say that I think that mTw.dk has lost the motivation by the great loss of their main sponsor AMD.
It's sad but maybe true. I hope they get the motivation back very soon!

You can't use this result to much. If it was bo3 you can use it alot more.. But single map isn't that good, you can have a really bad start that may cost the map.
But nice game by fnatic :)

The same have the mTw players...
Maybe but it's first lose for mTw since the lose at DH.. And fnatic's first win against a top team in a while. Maybe the score says something, but i know that mTw can win next time but also lose, a single map doesn't show us much
