Bloodpunch
Twenty games and no map losses, Bloodpunch have been called the Div3-tVS and with good reason. Their all Swedish side has shown to be too much for the other Division 3 teams to handle, and their big success is achieved by sticking to a very solid 5 man lineup with very few changes between games. The addition of Kreuger and his brother the Swedish daredevil; Exxus, is also to be considered one of the reasons why Bloodpunch is doing so much better compared to when we last saw them in action during EQL9.
Mob of Oddballs
Going up against Bloodpunch we see the mixed European team; Mob of Oddballs, a team who is no new name in the lower divisions of EQL and a team who usually is a contender for the title. However, this season mofo has been forced to use a very inconsistent lineup, at least compared to their usually very solid stack of players from previous seasons. This might be the reason why they are coming in as the last team to make playoffs.
Conclusion
It is very likely that Bloodpunch will win this encounter 3-0, there is however one change in mofo's lineup that might stir up some surprises. Since their group-game match, mofo have added Defcon 5 to their lineup, and he can easily be the deciding factor whether or not mofo get to take some maps from BP. Bloodpunch will probably do their best to keep their perfect season, while the Mob of Oddballs really has to step up their game if they want to win.
Expected lineups
Bloodpunch: Exxus, Kreuger, putte, Jimo
Mob of Oddballs: Defcon 5, Darff, nolik, itmik
Previous encounter
2-0 (e1m2: 177-110, dm3: 174-93)
