For anyone not fully following ACWC, the final is today (Saturday 4) 1pm GMT. It's winner takes all since this is single elimination. Both France A and Australia have very strong lineups but quite different play styles.
Last year France won and they've had one of the most conistently high-skill teams for over a year. Australia have good experience competing in all four previous ACWC events but have only made it to the finals once before (in 2009) where they lost to Germany.
On ac_depot I think you'll see some attacks from both sides but probably without taking huge risks. Since the map is very closed (only two ways) I'd expect that it will be drawn 0-0 and proceed to ac_power. This is a map that has many ways, many strategies and is really hard to categorise which I think will make it all the better to watch. If by some chance the match is tied after that ac_gothic will be played, a favourite of France but a map Australia are not weak at.
Who will play for each team? I can only speculate, but I'd expect Harrek, ech0, Reedie and Honor to be present at the least for France. Australia will have Undead, Xenon and Vermi I'd expect.
