The Raffeisen Vienna Vikings and the Swarco Raiders had their share of ups and downs (both 6-2 record). Vikings lost to the Giants. Raiders to Prague. They both had an early exit from the Big 6 competition. The Viennese team lost a lot of veterans after their 2013 dream season and also had a bunch of key injuries during the year. But now they are chasing their first Austrian three-peat since 2003. On the other side, the Tyrolean staff has done a great job developing young players since their last championship in 2011, but they are still looking for that big statement win.
