Germany and Norway progress in NC

Three matches of the four quarterfinals for the Clanbase NationCup XI have now finished. Tonight saw Germany and Norway victorious over Denmark and the Netherlands respectively.

Germanyvs. Denmark - 2-0

The first map was extremely tight finishing at 16:14 to Germany after an intense battle on de_train. It could have easily gone either way with both half as close as the other. The second match on de_nuke was less close, with Germany dominating the terrorist half 12:3. However, Denmark clawed back in the second half making Germany play it out until the last, when a bomb defuse sealed the fates of the two teams.

de_train –Germany 16:14 Denmark
de_nuke -Germany 16:12 Denmark

Norwayvs. Netherlands - 2-0

In what some predicted as a could-be close game, due to similar playing styles, the game was almost a whitewash for the Norwegian well-oiled machine that could well find themselves in the final, after a lack of testing in the quarter finals. This game also featured some notable performances such as a comical P90 round by prb, and a clutch by the same player. However, he wasn’t the only player as the scoreboard reflects. Overall it was a good game, and hopefully the games will continue to get more exciting as the competition progresses to the final.

de_nuke –Norway 16:10 Netherlands
de_train –Norway 16:8 Netherlands

Russia thrashed Hungary on both maps, truly establishing their dominance in this competition.
