In what I figured should have been the most anticipated matchup in the 2nd week of NDML 6, apparently was not according to the high euro based users we have surfing this website.

Anyway we got Belgium taking on the USA

Like most Euro-NA matchups, it was a home/away series.

Q2DM2, USA

First map chosen by the USA , would be played in the Netherlands . Q2DM2, maybe not the healthiest choice by the USA , seeing how I know from personal experience it's one of Belgium's strongest maps. This fact was once again proven as Belgium took the early lead by winning 164:31

Belgium 1:0 USA


Q2DM2, Belgium

Deja vu? Indeed, but the pings were swapped. What seemed to be a much closer game, Belgium was looking to possibly pull off the away victory upset against the USA . But unfortuneately Gerdt had to leave the server in mid game due to Gravgon mis-understanding timezones. This crippled the Belgian squad greatly forcing a 3v4 situation. The USA , playing as LPB's took advantage of this scenerio and capitalized to a not so impressive victory, as the Belgian's had in the previous map by winning 49:117.

Belgium 1:1 USA

Tie Breaker...

USA : map - Q2DM1
Belgium : server choice

SO here we are back in the Netherlands for game 3. Belgium still crippled in a 3v4 situation found some help with Goth making an appearance with 10 minutes left in game 3. However Belgium couldn't create a comeback, allowing the USA to upset them at home 64:80

GG's to both teams.. and my condolences to Belgium for the mixups that cost team. Good luck in the next rounds.
