Third place match

 The competition is not over for both teams defeated in the semis, they will compete for third place!
Acer seems more impressive but perhaps they will be tired of training, and if GAMED.DE plays with his complete LineUp, they had a chance to win !

Grand final

Dignitas just won STC and no doubts they are able to win again one of the two best team competition !
Mythix lost in the final last season, they want to win this time !

Statement Dignitas :

 Bergie : "Finally we managed to make it to the EMS final, and we intend on going out victorious. I respect Mythix for what they have achieved in the past, and with their renewing of the squad after Kimi quit, they have something big going on. Nevertheless I believe in my boys and I do believe I have a hungry team that's been eagerly waiting for this opportunity, so I hope we'll be able to take a close victory. Like I said before the semifinals: Let's hope this wont be a boring 4-0 ;) GLHF and gogo like a wild one!"

Statement MythiX :

Micro, team captain :"Here we are, after a bad period, losing Kimi, the founder of the 402-team, and doing a bad performance in STC,
MythiX.tm finally seems to be recovering, by beating team eNigma and @Gamed.de with 4-0 in the EMS-Playoffs and reaching the final.
I am proud that we have reached it for the 2nd time in a row. Especially because it wasn't easy in the beginning.
We began with two draws in the group stage against team Infused and dac-SP (3-3).
Luckily we woke up just in time. The next confrontations with these teams were won by mX with clear figures: 6-0.

After an exciting match in the other Semi-final, team Dignitas turns out to be our opponent in the final.
Dignitas surely gained a lot of self confidence by winning STC and beating acer in the semi-final, and it's our job to break this confidence by showing them some impressive driving.
Dignitas has a great team and an even greater status in Trackmania, being one of the oldest professional teams.
Only for this reason it's amazing that we have never lost a match against them so far, and this statistic might give us the little extra motivation and confidence we need to beat them.
This match might be even more exciting than the semi-final between team Acer and team Dignitas, and of course I truly hope that we are going to win it.

mX is really motivated and we can't wait to play this final.
I want to thank everyone who has been supporting us in this EMS, and I hope you will also support us in the final.

May the best team win, glhf"
