fnatic vs. mousesports
Extreme Masters - Thursday 17:00 CET

It’s no surprise that fnatic is the favorite for this match even though mousesports is a top5 team in the world. fnatic were, along with PGS, the best in the world 2007, and it looks like nothing has changed for 2008, winning NGL One Season 4. They didn’t meet at the NGL One finals but 1st Place and 4th place says it all.

There is no doubt that fnatic will win this game.

fnatic 75% - 25% mousesports

e-STRO vs. Alternate
Extreme Masters - Thursday 18:00 CET

For me it seems like Alternate are having problems at the moment, however they seem to win against mousesports every time they play. I don’t know much about e-STRO, but something is certain, the Asian people aren’t dominating like they did back in 2005, with wNv & Project_kr(e-STRO).

I have no clue who is going to win this game, because I have no idea how e-STRO is playing.

e-STRO 50% - 50% Alternate

roccat vs. mousesports
Extreme Masters - Thursday 19:00CET

roccat has been playing really stable for a while and they managed to finish second at the NGL Finals. However mousesports has been great as well after the join of cyx and gob, and this match seems to be really tough for both teams. They met each other at the NGL Finals where roccat won the game so I do believe they are slight contenders for this game.

roccat 60% - 40% mousesports

SK-Gaming vs. Alternate
Extreme Masters - Thursday 20:00 CET

This game is for me pretty easy to predict, SK-Gaming is way ahead in this match, they played great at Dreamhack (November 2007) and they have found themselves again. However I don’t know about the new lineup with GeT_RiGhT and that’s why I won’t call it a 70 – 30%.

SK Gaming 60% - 40% Alternate

SK-Gaming vs. Virtus.Pro
Extreme Masters - Friday 15:45 CET

SK-Gaming is the favorite no doubt, but the Russians have improved their play lately, and I think they can do some good damage here. GeT_RiGhT instead of SpawN, is a great substitute if SpawN is really tired of playing.

SK Gaming 60% - 40% Virtus.pro

This leads us up to the most exciting match of the week. The one match you just can't miss out on.

fnatic vs. Made in Brazil
Extreme Masters - Friday 16:45 CET

After fnatic vs. MYM this is probably the best match to watch right now. MiBR who won Dreamhack versus the NGL One winners fnatic from Sweden. fnatic is the favorite, but I really think MiBR can win this game, if they find their game. If fnatic can remove de_nuke against them, they are the favorites, if not; I got to hand it over to MiBR. They are insane on nuke guys!! :)

fnatic 55% - 45% Made in Brazil
