Surprise surprise?!
Austria was one of the weakest nation latest NDML, by taking one map to Belgium they showed that they improved.
q2dm2 - Belgium's map
Belgium dominated the RA the whole game despite many attempts of Austria to get it back, both teams were struggling to get the quad during the first 10 minutes but afterward, Belgium got the upper hand.
q2dm1 - Austria's map
On this map, Belgium could feel the power of voice communication tools (Austria was using ventrilo), Austria dominated the rail area a lot and Belgium couldn't attack. Belgium had the MH secured more often than Austria but they were getting railed again and again. Still the game was pretty close, both teams doing nice comebacks every now and then, at the end Austria had a 20 frag lead which started to melt when Belgium took back the control of MH and Rail but Austria hided and won by 3 frags
q2dm5 - deciding map
Belgium secured the RA-Room from the start to the end (MgC hasn't died once) and put a high pressure on the rail/quad, Austria tried to take the Rail back several times by attacking it together but they were getting railed heavily.
Sometimes they could a small control over the Rail area and increase their score a bit but Belgium could tool up at RA and recover their position quickly.
Conclusion
Belgium clearly underestimated Austria and it costed them a map, Austria showed a nice teamplay and great rail skills.
