s1`: not bad, however i expected more activity from some of my players. Was disappointed in some games, but as far as we r in playoffs, it is acceptable. TNT^: Well cup was starting with game vs pointless and i guess we underestimated them and almost lost... i knew it would be a match about the 2nd spot. the other games i knew we could win easily except vs sas
PR0WLER: Yeah you are normally pretty stable at Deck16][ but you lost vs. pointless on that map. What happened there?
s1`:hard to say, i guess it was my fault, because i left top for armor posi, mainly i play top and games go fine. Want to notice that some Germans had great aim, awesome spawn lock in the end brought a win for them. TNT^: Yes we are, but pointless are and have been as well.. they have strong aimers like netbug and krazz on top, almost insane with sniper tbh. We were taking a lead and went -15 frags in last minute. what can i say they had a very nice comeback.
PR0WLER: Well it was close and you only lost with 2 frags. Second map Codex is really close as well and in the end 1 frag is the difference. Were you nervous?
s1`:i thought we gonna lose codex tbh because we started very badly if i remember correctly and we played quite stable (average) whole map..so +15 frags for last 2 minutes or so..was quite unexpected..my players did great job, respect. Maybe point.less already thought they won and relaxed a bit..luck was on our side that map same as on their side at deck. sniper killing spree by p1 was way unexpectable. TNT^: I can say it was a thriller my heart was pounding hard.. i already said to myself it's the end. Really dunno what was the reason we won this one in the end. can upload that demo when cup ends so everyone can see how it really was. idd p1 took s1´s sniper and here we go we won ;D
PR0WLER: You won AgonyXL vs sas. did you practice that map a lot or did both teams play ffa style?
s1`:not ffa, we all downloaded it before game, me and kepa looked at it like 10 mins before game and thought for tactix, but it was v4, however we played v3 because there wasn't proper server with v4. We never played it before and seen even. Just that day...
PR0WLER: So once again we see the same 4 teams in playoffs. Every cup we can guess who will win their groups in the premier league. Do you think we should merge premier and second league or keep it as it is?
s1`:Hard to say..there are some opponents to compete, but mostly same players playing for some clan everycup, and that clan goes to playoff. Good players hopping from 1 clan to another. But some clans can't compete with other div1 clans, like this cup, ff13 are good but scores vs. old div1 clans quite clear, it might be more interesting to play div2. However want to admit that div2 has nice groups this cup. In div1 it was more clear for me, div2 is more interesting, most clans have chances to win each other... maybe we should forbid some all top players play in few clans only TNT^: dunno i would like to have 7 div1 clans in each group but there are not many div1 clans. so i already hear the whine about it. i had an idea to merge div1 with div2 but that every clan could have 2-3 div1 players. i can see div 3 clans with fakers, which could play div1 even. i played div2 last season for d4s and i was enjoying it coz every match was close which i like. s1`:i want to add also, to TNT's words..some players from div2 and 3 faking indeed, and it's so noobish, because they don't want to have a hard fight, playing vs. weaklings are nicer for them, so they can feel pro themselves. ;/ GO div1 and fight ! scums
s1`:yup i play sometimes Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War: SoulStorm, waiting for DoW2 playing internet pool time to time. Rest games doing single player. TNT^: last game which i played was fallout3 btw i finished it ;]. my favorite online game is ut, but i play wc3 tft online through battle.net. also got cs 1.6 so i play it on steam but very little. s1`:Yup, nothing compare with UT oh, yeah, rarely do ut3.
s1`:gl to further clans in this and future cups (if there are any) i saw some oldschool players are back, nice to see I hope there will be cups with decent resistance. TNT^: gl to all clans in playoff and lets meet again next season! don't put your weapons down ;]
First level: Nitro
I wasn\'t there from the start and joined only after about half of the game have been palyed. I accept dumb ass award as I joined with fake nick and made quite a disturbance by it. When things settled down and my fakenicking was sorted teams continued. RATS was far ahead, about doublescores (close to 60-30) and it looked as if the game was done. At some point RATS lost some initiative and it was already more equall game, with difference between teams holding abuot 20-25 frags. Still it looked as if they should win with no problems. However, Last 5 mins 2` managed nice someback and made scores 84:86 (only -2 for them from more than 20 points difference!). It was about 2 misn left when it happened. RATS was able to overcome sudden change in the situation and the took the lead again already till the end of the game.
Second level: Turbine
Now 2` needed to win this map, and they started really well, taking small but considerable lead after initial close start. RATS spent few mins catching them up, rather successfull, as they got the lead soon, but only could hold it at amount of a few frags. Both teams wasn\'t able to lock the map, and the leader switched in the middle of the game, now 2` holding the small advantage. And again leading team wasn\'t able to hold it or lock the map. Aroud 5:00 RATS evened the scores again and run past 2` gaining 10 frags lead. That was actully last time when they was leading. It took 2` about 4 mins to catch up and at last minute they locked 3 players from RATS on respawn. I thought that\'s the end, the scores was 127:21 and only 30 seconds left, maybe even less. But somehow 2` got stuck on this 127 frags and RATS made 6 frags stright. I think 1-2 seconds more and we would\'ve had an overtime:
Third level: Curse
And we came to a decider! And it was as close as any decider should be. No matter which team controlled top other was able to fragt on other sides of the map, so the scores never was more differnt then 4 frags. I won\'t tell who was leading and when simply becouse scores evened more then 20 times durign the map. Yes, it was SO close. Only at the last 5 mins RATS gained something you can consider a lead - up to 6 fargs - and hold it for about 2 mins. But last 2mins of the game was again very close fight and I couldn\'t predict a winner untill the very end:
A lot of suicide action from both teams at the end - what a tense ending of the map!
Conclusion
Both teams palyed well, however RATS was mostly carried by arzt, while 2` was more balanced. I\'d say RATS lucked TDM experience/practice, other way they could\'ve won this one. GG, thsi game diserved UTV imo, too bad there wasn\'t any avalable.
The idea of creating a new clan was born after a conflict with famous Counter-Strike clan in our country Northern 7eam (n7), where we have played like a separate squad.
Team>1< was formed on the 23rd of March in 2004 by 2 friends and enthusiastic players, not available s1ayer (s1aY) aka s1` and k1lla aka k1`. Clan name was invented by k1` and we decided to keep it. In a few days after formation we have taken few more players from n7 who were our friends in real life: m1` (m1ha) and Ext4sy.
First level: Deck16][
Well, after an hour or so of serverbattling we finally picked one and 4.1.3.2 we were off!! First sb and amp were picked up by the $ but it could have been c2` also, dunno what happend anymore here cuz i was doing some respawn killing @ the amp sides, while being tricked their a few times by $ongoku or/and $kmr Same old story on deck: some heads get popped off here.. some bodies fly all over the place over there..and at the end of the story c2` pwnd it and taking the win for 1²
Second level: Codex
What A thriller this was.. with Team2 taking the lead in the first half of the game and the moonstars slightly taking over.. ending in a positive result for them! great teamplay by the $ and deserved win!
Third level: Mojo][
OOOh Yaa third map WTF :| O ah well not alot to say about this map since i didnt see alot guys @ the position I was playing. From TS i understood $ was giving c2 and g2 a hard time @ the armor position, so the sb guys tried to help out there, sometimes with succes other times just blown away by moonstars, we kept it cool and took our first victory!
First level: Mojo][
Sorry to both teams I found anohter way to spend this time and wasn\'t spectating the game. However, result of this game was too predictable: ones who was suppoused to own - did own; ones who was suppoused to die trying - yes they did it - dying and a lot.
I think FF13 have had the task not to let 1 to get more than 200frags. Lets consider the game from it.
1 mostly dominated, however FF13 managed to do more frags in some periods of time, actually about 2 or 3 times. First half 1 was rather slow, at the middle of the game they only had around 80 frags (+40).
[09:17] [FF13]Gazz had a Multi Kill!
Yes FF13 had they moments too!
Second half stoned guys TNT^ and j1 made the game faster, but time was runnign out. When map finished they still needed 5 frags...
Second level: Tempest
This time 1 took it seriously. Clanleader s1` gathered his forces to attack. The borderline of 200 frags lay ahead! That was actually a bit better first half than previous map: 85 for 1 (+60). Some more (multiply)-kills and heavier sprees from 1 than on previous map. Still FF13 was holding, 1 was a bit too slow. And last 5 mins they strongly increased fraggin speed:
