The European teams are back today, with the second day of EU matches for Overkill.
The first match kicks off at 18:00 CEST and will feature IDDQD (including TviQ again) vs IMPULSE 11.
IDDQD - IMPULSE 11 
IDDQD: INTERNETHULK, chipshajen, harryhook, Taimou, cocco, TviQ
IMPULSE 11: Zebbosai, Nevix, Hysterica, iddqd, Vonethil, Likely
Time: Thursday, 14th April 2012 - 18:00 CEST
Stream: ZP & Hexagrams
Prediction: ”IDDQD looked a shadow of their usual selves for a while, but with the return of TviQ they are again one of the top contenders. IMPULSE 11 does have one advantage in terms of the roster having played together for a bit longer. But mindgames might just end up winning this one, because the name of IDDQD still intimidates players that might not be feeling as confident as they might wish.”
Creation Esports surprised us on Tuesday when they took IDDQD to a fifth game. The next match of the day pits the same CE vs REUNITED, which is now arguably a better team than IDDQD.
REUNITED.gg - Creation Esports 
REUNITED.gg: Morte, TwoEasy, Vallutaja, uNFixed, Winghaven, Kruise
Creation Esports: Draceus, art1er, LiNkzr, Bromas, KnOxXx, Numlocked
Time: Thursday, 14th April 2012 - 19:30 CEST
Stream: ZP & Hexagrams
Prediction: ”This matchup will depend on REUNITED's form. They have both been underperforming and possibly overperforming over the last few weeks, if that is even possible, but at least they are playing game and are gaining a lot of experience. Creation Esports, on the back of their recent signing, should feel confident in themselves but they still have to take their opportunities to show that they are an equal opponent.?”
IDDQD vs CE was one of the best matches of two days ago. It will be interesting to see which team learned more from that encounter, going into this match:
IDDQD - Creation Esports IDDQD: INTERNETHULK, chipshajen, harryhook, Taimou, cocco, TviQ
Creation Esports: Draceus, art1er, LiNkzr, Bromas, KnOxXx, Numlocked
Time: Thursday, 14th April 2012 - 21:00 CEST
Stream: ZP & Hexagrams
Prediction: ”With this match being the second for both of these teams today, they should be able to showcase their top form. The only difference will be that the new patch (including McCree buffs) has now been implemented. Will this patch affect anything in the map draft? You can find out later today..?”
For the last match of the night Luminosity takes on EnVyUs. This match will be a battle between the scenes. Team Fortress 2 veterans facing off against the niche game specialists.
REUNITED.gg - IMPULSE 11 REUNITED.gg: Morte, TwoEasy, Vallutaja, uNFixed, Winghaven, Kruise
IMPULSE 11: Zebbosai, Nevix, Hysterica, iddqd, Vonethil, Likely
Time: Thursday, 14th April 2012 - 22:30 CEST
Stream: ZP & Hexagrams
Prediction: ”It is safe to say that IMPULSE 11 doesn't like REUNITED all that much (at least ingame).? The meteoric rise of IMPULSE was cut down by REUNITED not once but twice in the ONOG Invitational. IMPULSE managed to take 1 out of the last 7 maps they played together, let's see if that pool of 6 map losses was enough for them to grow.”
IMPULSE 11 - Creation Esports IMPULSE 11: Zebbosai, Nevix, Hysterica, iddqd, Vonethil, Likely
Creation Esports: Draceus, art1er, LiNkzr, Bromas, KnOxXx, Numlocked
Time: Friday, 15th April 2012 - 00:00 CEST

Prediction: ”This match was originally scheduled for Tuesday, but was rescheduled due to the announced arrival of a new patch (that only came days later). This match should provide us with a good contest, we will see what happens when two 'tier 2' teams meet after a few hours of playing with a lot on the line.”
