The first ESL Nationscup is about to kick off this Thursday, July 3rd (Note: Dates can still be moved). The big TF2 Nations France, Sweden and Germany are going to play the underdogs Spain, Poland and Netherlands. Can the "Davids" take down the "Goliaths"?

The main event of this week is without a doubt the clash of two true giants - United Kingdom and Finland. Stay tuned here on Cadred.org when we bring you a detailed match overview later this week!
Matches will all be played in a best of three matchmode with teams picking their own maps. The general Cup will be held as Double Elimination Tournament, therefore every team gets a second chance and needs to lose twice in order to be kicked out of the Cup!

2. Round 2: Thursday, 10/07/08 20:00
