I've been looking forward to play this league and I'm confident that we won't have any problems whatsoever to win the first stage of the tourney. Many good teams are in but the five first that we'll face doesn't scare me. I'm looking forward to a lot of intense and high skilled games.

I think we got an easy chance to qualify through the first stage - there's some good teams like mouz, MYM and XsK who's going to bring us some trouble later on ... but we'll see.
