    ECL 9 Lite: Semifinals Preview

    NHLGamers,

    The ECL 9 Lite season has progressed all the way to the Semifinals in which we're seeing two very exciting matchups. All of the teams that are left have been storming through playoffs with just a few losses each so we can say that the competition is ramping up to a level where there will be no easy games. All of the teams that are left have secured promotions to ECL Pro for next season. Now all that remains is to determine the final marching order and crowning a champion. Without further ado, let's get into the details of our semi's.

    The ECL 9 Lite Semifinals are to be played between Friday, January 17th and Sunday, January 26th.

     

    Here are the matchups for the Semifinals of the ECL 9 Lite playoffs:

    (2.) Mockba 500x500.png Mockba  vs. Sulkavan Sudet sulkavan sudet 500x500.png (7.)

    Mockba has defeated teams that were ranked 31st, 32nd and 19th and now Sulkavan Sudet will be their first true challenge. They had no problems against GREED, Carolus Icemen and Hokurit even though many of their games have been decided by small goal differences. Sulkavan Sudet haven't lost a game in the playoffs. They destroyed DEG eSports in the first round of the playoffs with goal differential of +18 but after that, WEREWOLVES HC and offensively skilled Rookie Mistakes were more of a challenge to them even though both series ended in a sweep. Sulkavan Sudet have the top 2 regular season scorers @Oxdoggi (78 points) and @Kemppane_ (75 points) in their lineup. Mockba isn't as offensively skilled, but their team play and ''quarterback'' defenseman @riihimaenharski is a winning combination. Will the offense of Sulkavan Sudet overpower the fact that they have only seen average goaltending so far this season? Is Mockba ready for their first real challenge? Can Mockba frustrate their opponent with their chemistry and play style? Find out in the semifinals!


    (3.) rivenjohdolla500x500.png Riven Johdolla vs. Clumsy Penguins clumsypenguins500x500.png (4.)

    Riven Johdolla has been the biggest surprise this ECL Lite season as their fairly inexperienced lineup had a strong regular season and in the playoffs have battled their way into the semifinals. @Vattu__ is the purest goal scorer this season in Lite after coming second in regular season goals with 37 notches and leading playoff goal scoring with 27 goals to his name. He also leads playoff scoring with 40 points and has a shooting percentage of over 40% this season. Pro experienced Clumsy Penguins have lost only one game in the playoffs and have had no problems advancing to the semifinals beating Saucer Hockey, Sack Brothers and Company of Geeks. @Jugi9 is tied for most penalties (20min) in the playoffs with the rest of Clumsy Penguins getting only 12 penalty minutes combined, but penalties may not be a problem for Clumsy Penguins since Riven Johdolla has only scored 4 power play goals in the playoffs. Which will prevail - experience or confidence? Can @Vattu__ continue his scoring? Can @Jugi9 stay out of the box and find a way to help his team in other areas? Find out when the games start!

    Guys, this article contains a bunch of subjective statements which seem to have triggered you in one way or another. I like that! Shows that you care about what you do and in turn I believe that was also the intention of the writer to stir the pot a little. Now it's up to you to prove these statements wrong in the upcoming games.

    However, if you have a problem with content that we put out, please shoot me a DM and we can discuss your contribution to the community on that part.

    I think it's quite arrogant to come up with such a passive-aggressive comment after some criticism that most of the Lite-community feels is warranted.

    While the community appreciates all the content you guys put out, it's not the first time these write-ups elicit reactions that question whether or not the writers even follow the league.

    I understand your point and admit that my intent with the bolded comment was to challenge people that might have different opinions. The fact is that we want to produce content to the best of our ability and it's up for debate whether people think we have done so or not. If people feel otherwise, I warmly welcome them to discuss a possible contribution in order to better things. Constructive criticism is always welcome, but I'm sure no one appreciates getting flamed in the comments section when they're just trying to bring something to the table on their own free time.

    I think this works for both ways, im quite sure no one appriciates being called mediocre when you already made your way to semifinals, or when you lead the defenders in points only your pims gets mentioned, imo thats just disrespectful.

    4 solid teams, 2 exciting and very hard to predict series. One thing to point out is that Riven Johdolla is the only team left who have played under the pressure of elimination and they came out on top. I hope that gives Rive the mental edge to go all the way.
