Mint vs. n!faculty in EMS Groupstages

Posted by: Corin



Tonight at 7PM BST London Mint take on German powerhouse n!faculty in the EMS Season II. After their draw with H2k in the group stages last week, Mint will be looking to go one better and take home a victory tonight, to see them fill the final spot in the last eight, a step closer to the €3,000 prize fund.

London Mint : Hughsy url ritch HudzG HenryG
n!faculty : BigBennoo Blaque dav1d disruptor jaNmiiK

As mentioned above, this event is one of the few online tournaments to boast sizeable cash prizes, as can be seen here:

Prizes:
1st Place : €1.500
2nd Place : €900
3rd Place : €600

London Mint's Chenery had this to say before the match :

It's been a long time since we've played faculty, PCW or official so we don't know what they are capable of, but we expect to win as we always do, but I have a feeling it's going to be a close match since we dont play mr15 anymore.

Ludicrous from n!faculty said :

After defeating mTw.Pokerroom on the last Intel Friday Night Game of the Season in Hamburg on friday evening, we anticipate a really competitive match against London Mint today. Though we only got a little time in order to practise with our new lineup, the results have been even better than expected. We know that it's gonna be a really tough match so we'll do anything to win it. In the end we wish the spectators an entertaining match. HF both teams.

This should prove to be a very enjoyable match to watch, best of luck to both teams!

Update
Mint's second close game in as many weeks, we came back from being down 15-8 to push the game to overtime, which resulted in a 21-18 victory - a great comeback, to put us through into the next stage of the event.

HenryG had this to say after the game :

Although times looked bleak for us during the later stages of the game, we used our experience and knew that anything can happen in css and we pulled off the impossible. Well played to N!faculty :)
