Season 16 powered by BlackOut Gaming: Epsilon eSports vs Team Decerto

Reigning ETF2L and world champions, Epsilon eSports, get their season under way with a match against premiership newcomers Politically correct pander. With the retirement of KnOxXx, Epsilon might have been weakened to a slight extent, but worry not, Raymon is no inadequate replacement.

Nations Cup #4 Grand Final

With both Sweden and Germany producing comfortable wins their Semi-Finals it’s hard to extract anything from their recent form in the ETF2L’s fourth 6v6 Nations Cup. Impressively both teams are fielding rosters comprised almost entirely of Premiership talent, the exception being Germany’s medic, ThUn.

As if national pride wasn’t a big enough motivator, BlackOut Gaming have also dangled a €1000 carrot infront of our competitors, with the victor taking a €500 bite, leaving €350 and €150 to the runners up.
