Eight teams have been whittled down to four teams after all the weekly cups since July. Here is a short preview to our semi-finals, and who will most likely be walking away with the £350.

Community Challenge: Season 2 - The Semi-Finals Preview

After yesterday evening's activities, where defending champions were knocked out of the competition, and the usual people from the top end of the scene were also knocked out, we are left with four teams, 3 of which are mix teams, and 1 of them being an actual team.



I will take you through the two semi-finals and give you an idea of who will be heading into our Final tonight at 9pm.



4&ahalfmen Vs thechaps

This semi-final looks to be the best of the bunch here we have, thechaps surprisingly beat Infused in a rather close best of three series, where de_mirage went down to Overtime, after thechaps stormed it and took it 21 - 15. The second map was de_cache, where Infused managed to take it 16 - 9. However the final map being de_infused, a close first half where it was split down the middle to thechaps with 8 - 7 up, it became a struggle to get to the finish line for thechaps but fearLess and co managed to see it through and defy all the odds against them (on csgolounge). It finished 16 - 11.



If thechaps were to play like they did yesterday, then they could take this match quite comfortably, however Luke "fearLess" Morris is apparently unavailable for tonight's match with a match for his new team "The Lone Rangers" in another competition later. This leaves a bit question mark around whether the other guys can cope without their star studded player to pull off some sick clutches.

Meanwhile 4&ahalfmen drafted in the likes of Whindanski, Neil, socN, for last night's match against Job Seekers. It was incredibly comfortable for the current fm-eSports players who managed to see off Job Seekers without breaking a sweat, with de_inferno 16 - 5 & de_mirage 16 - 9. Again with this very mix culture we seem to have over here in the UK, it depends who 4&ahalfmen field tonight, rosters were locked last night so the players they have on their roster will have to do.



This match could go down to the wire, but I could see depending on maps, a 2 - 0 win to 4&ahalfmen which could mean they would go a step further than they did in the last season finals.



Predicted Result: 4&ahalfmen 2 - 0 thechaps

United Estonia Vs Rasta.B2G

This is our second Semi-Final, where we have two very unusual but good entertaining teams to watch. United Estonia have this intriguing track record, where they naturally beat UK teams. Meanwhile, Rasta.B2G have become a better team over the last year, and have been one of the most stable line ups in the scene. Something of a miracle considering our constant need for something better because some people have these massive egos. All of this hasn't happened to Rasta.B2G which has been good to see that hard work and determination can pay off.



United Estonia played in the later game last night against jakem's mix team, which featured The Lone Ranger's Sam "RattlesnK" Gawn, yet United Estonia managed to convincingly see off the UK's finest, and send them to some dark place. The first map was a bit of a damp squib with United Estonia taking de_dust2 16 - 8, however the second map was slightly different, United Estonia were pulling away with a massive lead, yet SVETTiGa/Kettering Babe Slayers/Back 2 Girls, Back 2 Uni managed to peg them back several times. United Estonia nearly got to the finish line, but were once again pegged back, Overtime came around, but jakem & co couldn't seem to get ahead of the game. United Estonia finally saw off the mounted challenge and won 21 - 19 on de_inferno.



Rasta.B2G equally had a rather easy challenge as they managed to see off vertiGo, ALIG, Aaron, ash & Quiver last night in the form of 7GramsRocks. Rasta.B2G had a small challenge forming on de_dust2, but they saw it off in a rather great style with it being 16 - 7. Meanwhile on de_inferno, it was an embarrassing display from 7GR as they got smashed 16 - 4. One to forget for those guys.

Many people have told me overnight that Rasta will manage to put up a formidable effort against United Estonia. I'm not entirely sure of it in all fairness as United Estonia tend to have quite a lot of firepower at their disposal. However strats have been formed by Rasta, and I'm sure they will be looking at this match and seeing if they can beat the Estonian/UK mix team over the course of three maps, the question will be how?



Again depending on which maps, I could see this being a close affair, but I have a feeling that United Estonia have the better firepower out of the two sides, and I will go for a cheeky 2 - 1 result here.



Predicted Result: United Estonia 2 - 1 Rasta.B2G
