After over a month of fighting against other nations in the first Highlander Nations Cup, only two teams remain – France and Germany. Before this tournament began, not many people would have predicted either of these teams to reach the final, let alone both of them. Germany saw off tournament favourites Sweden in the semi final, and France beat a Finnish team that many expected to face Sweden in the final. The winners of this game will receive £972 and the runners up will win £225 due to a generous donation from an anonymous donor, and with money at stake, expect both teams to want to win this that much more! Watch this game being casted by Admirable and  Comedian at VanillaTV.

As we all know, Sunday is the best day to play videogames! Tonight we will have a lot of matches starting with Denmark against Israel. Israel had an easy way through the Group Stage, not losing a single game, while Denmark lost 6 points to Sweden. Both teams look very strong with many famous names like quad, F2, Natural, p0Le, Retsh0ck and matnuN and each team is a mix of high-tier players but undeniably, Israel is the favourite to advance to the next round.

The Portuguese team has many players from the ex-premiership team eQuilibrium, while Belgium is the home of the successful map maker Arnold and some other TF2 pro’s like Luzzu and droso. We might not see Portugal in its full glory yet because they managed to play only 1 game in the Group Stage, however having such a good previous game history, they have no reason to be scared of this match.

The Latvians had a hard time in the Group Stage gathering players and obeying all the rules, maybe now they can turn things around and show that they can defend their national pride and fight for the win against Finland who have a team capable of making 2 premiership teams out of their players.

The Americans had a bit of a hard time during the Group Stage because they could not field a team for their match against Croatia. With players like enigma and harbleu they had no problem to win the rest of their matches, of course. Spain have some big names as well, counting HarryHook, sraam and Jan. They obviously stand a chance winning, deathmatch will be the key to success in this match.

Another big game of the 6v6 Nations Cup Round 1 is between France and Netherlands. France being the favourite for this match, the Netherlands have a lineup of several veterans as well who are eager to advance into the Quarter Finals.

Tonight we will see the very first game of the 6v6 Nations Cup Playoff Stage, starting with Russia and Sweden. Both teams have big names in their roster, starting with uV Gaming on the Russian side and ending on Zebbosai and wltrs. Unfortunately Sweden still let’s their div 4 medic, TheSucker, play in officials.

Germany had an easy way through the Group Stage, annihilating their opponents each match, will they continue their win-march through the Playoffs? How will Poland respond to this? Lately they have added Nor, one of the best Polish scouts of his time to their roster, maybe that’s the change they needed to face the Germans with their premiership players.

Today we see France facing off Finland for the right to challenge Germany in the Highlander Nations Cup finals. Both teams did exceptionally well in their own Groups as well as throughout the playoff stage. Finland is sporting Highlander pros like zoob, letku and SabaSaba in their lineup, so they certainly have experience on their side. France’s lineup looks more promising deathmatch-wise, consisting mainly of players from DAROUTOUTOU, with strong support classes in Flippy and Daff. Who will prevail in this battle of experience vs aggression, strategy vs deathmatch?
