Twitter discusses: Can Underdogs cause an upset?

While other games are still in the qualifying process, Clash Royale started it’s Group Stage phase last week. We saw dominant performances from the ERN Mobile players and Emperiaial-Flayn and Totem managed to secure their first victories in the fifth edition of A1 Adria League.

Emperiial eSports and Crusher Esports opened the first playday of the A1 Adria League Clash Royale season. When talking about the 2v2 games, Emperiial managed to take a set with a 2-1 win, while in KOTH they won three out of the four matches played, ending the match with a 2-0 scoreline. Next up, we had a chance to see eSport Rhein-Neckar Mobile sweep Underdogs with a clean 2-0 victory. Totem Esports got the win against ConeKorleone and LA Gaming with a 2-1 win in 2v2 and a close 2-3 victory in the KOTH. In the second round of the Group Stage, we saw Crushers Esports destroy Underdogs with the latter not winning a single game. LA Gaming managed to slip past ERN Mobile after an intense game that went all the way to the last game.

At the end of the first round, some of the players took it on Twitter to discuss the quality of the newly qualified team – Underdogs. The question is, can Underdogs upset one of the better teams and take a set or even a match in this season of A1 Adria League?

After a comment on destroyer’s Twitter account indirectly offended Underdogs, ERN’s player Vucko69 jumped in to defend Underdogs. Vucko69 stated that there is a chance that Underdogs can upset one of the better teams and take some points during the season. tomo is master continued the conversation saying that there is no way that Underdogs will be able to match up at all to the other teams in the Group Stage judging by experience and the individual skill of the other players.

Vucko used an example from his earlier career when he was the underdog and the QLASH players didn’t believe he had any chances against better players at the time. He mentioned the 2v2 mode saying that its much more about practice than individual skill and that teams can easily beat better players with good preparation. That is certainly one of the things that makes Clash Royale such a great game. It shows players that in the modes like 2v2, there are situations where team play can win games over raw skill, and Underdogs definitely have a chance to do some damage during the season.

Will the Underdogs be able to put up a fight against the more known names or will actually experience reign supreme? The action continues today!
