Well ladies n gentlemen, The most anticipated n in my eyes, one of the most talent filled tournaments has come n gone.8 Elite CTF teams showed up competiting for the title of BEST CTF duo tonight. For the 2nd time in 2 weeks OL hit the high note of 30+ players. Most eager to find out whos winning. So without further ado, the tournament results.
ROUND 1: FORT KNOX 5 CAPS
GNB mista & GNB noto def. Dark0 & OGB jala 5-0
-Despite the score, jala n dark0 put up a good fight, but theres not much you can do vs the eventual winners of the tourny.
BaD HAVOK & BaD Diablo def. BaD Boo & BaD Prep 5-1
-It was an all BaD matchup, but the edge went to Diablo n Havok as they had more practice together.Booster n Prep put up a good fight having to replace the absence of AKO Gambit n Excaliber who were no shows.
T4H Kiser & Janitor def. T4H Term & BaD fear 5-0
-What can i say aboot this match, not many people have much of a chance comming out as winners when facing kiser.Another last minute sign in team of Term n Fear tried there best and a high 5 to them for that.
XoL List & XoL Bear def. TuffTexan & Iron Claw 5-4
-Now this was a close match up.Claw put out a clinic in this one manhandling XoL only to be beaten out by the better TEAM in the end.
And that was it for round 1. 4 people moved ahead and 4 people were sent home packing.
Now, something thats becomming quite customary in the tournaments, bad sportsmanship started to fill the outlaws chat room.This time it was XoL's turn to start ruinning it for the rest of us.I decided to make round 2 up to 7 caps instead of 5 to make it abit more challenging since we were going into the semi's.Beartracker took it upon himself to start bashing me in the main along with Austin that i ruined the tourny and im a BaD host. Hell u cant please everyone right? So as usual life goes on, i had other matters to attend n let them have there fun.
ROUND 2: BENDERS 7 caps
XoL Listerine & XoL Bear def. T4H Kiser & Janitor 7-6
-This one went down to the wire. XoL's lag tactics were just a smudge to much for Kiser n Jani to contain.They managed to pull the upset of the tournament by eliminating one of the favored teams.
GNB Mista & GNB Noto def. BaD Havok & BaD Diablo 7-1 ( dia had to leave midway threw game down 3-0 and i came in to take his place )
- ..... GNB hacked it was sooo obvious so thats all im gonna say aboot that.
And that concluded the 2nd round of action.Everyone was set for the final showdown. HEAVILY favored team GNB vs underdogged XoL for the championship bout.Now is when all the trouble really started.Seeing how it was the final round as the host of the tournament i offered to host the game to make it fair for both teams. Listerine n Bear started complaining that it wasnt fair that i should host. So listerine purposly didnt join the game despite 5 attempts at rehost and rebooting. Noto,Mista n bear all made it in the game but Listerine never showed up. Hes never had this problem b4 in my games but i guess his computer magically got sick and was allergic to me. Noto then decides to host and all of a sudden list is the 1st person in the game.
All the bs aside, this one was one of the most intense games ive witnessed in a while. Even as i sat there watching on the battle brewing between these 2 teams. I could feel the determination both sides had to winning this one. XoL surprised the world by going up 6-3 and owning our beloved champs. I was just aboot to write off GNB until a sudden change in the earth's rotation or something caused a dramatic turn of events.GNB displayed amazing resilence and focus as they ROOOAAARRRRREEEEDD back to stomp on the leading team 10-6.This match went on for 45mins, and aboot 20 of those minutes were spent with XoL up 6-3 unable to put the cherry on sundae.
Just when u think that the tourny is over and everyone would just blow a sign relief thanking god its over. XoL along with austin who doesnt even play outlaws no more decided to wreck it all. They accused me of having the tourny rigged. Heres a clip of some of it :
BaD_DonMaximo> serious list, let it go
BaD_DonMaximo> its a game
BaD_DonMaximo> u played
BaD_DonMaximo> gave noto n mista a hell of a match
T4H_gringo60> lol i like that one Tic
XoL_Austin> Max
BaD_DonMaximo> be proud
XoL_Austin> we all know it is a biased tourney
XoL_Austin> is all
XoL_Austin> Your maps
BaD_DonMaximo> ur right austin
XoL_Austin> Your matchips the way u want them
BaD_DonMaximo> ur absolutly right
T4H_KiserSose> hmm
BaD_DonMaximo> damn ur so smart
BaD_Mialicious> hmmmmmm
XoL_Austin> just a BaD hosted biased tourney
BaD_DonMaximo> cant hide nothing from u
BaD_DonMaximo> well let XoL host there own and it can have a whole 3 ppl sign up !!!
GNB_Mesta> yeap austin =)
GNB_Mesta> GG"S everyone
GNB__Notorious> gg all who played
GNB_Mesta> HOPE EVERYONE COMES BACK NXT WEEK!
GNB__Notorious> max and mista appreciate your support
DTG_Starmaster> I remember last week Max, it all looked fair and I'm an underdog
and thats all i got to say. Besides the poor sports down over in XoL i got to say, i was really proud to have seen such talents in OL come back n help support. If only they coulda learned something from kiser, who prolly has been the classiest player threw out these tournaments. Hes been stucked with n00bs as pards, hes had good pards. Yet hes always managed to show sportsmanship in the end. So to kiser, i give a big heads up and i hope to get your continued support in the following tournies.
Now after the game i had the chance to sit down n have a small talk with our new CTF champs. Heres what they had to say:
BaD_DonMaximo> So guys, you guys just won the CTF tourny
BaD_DonMaximo> how was that last match?
GNB__Notorious> intense
GNB_Mesta> fun
GNB__Notorious> thats the word that comes to mind
BaD_DonMaximo> Did you consider them worthy adversary's for the finals?
GNB__Notorious> honestly I don't consider them worthy of getting past the first round
GNB_Mesta> you want the truth?
BaD_DonMaximo> yes i do
GNB_Mesta> I thought Janitor and Kiser shoul've been in Finals.
GNB__Notorious> i agree
BaD_DonMaximo> many ppl saw it that way
GNB_Mesta> And no I don't think their worthy for the finals.
BaD_DonMaximo> but thats what happends when upsets come into play
GNB_Mesta> yea and thats what makes tournaments fun =)
GNB_Mesta> upsets
BaD_DonMaximo> You guys displayed amazing team work n chemistry despite being down 6-3 and commin back to win it 10-6
BaD_DonMaximo> what is your secret?
GNB__Notorious> we had to adapt to a new team we had never played before
GNB__Notorious> we saw what they brought
GNB__Notorious> and had to work around it
GNB_Mesta> we learned what they liked and had to take it from them
GNB__Notorious> unloading on their ass when they entered my fort also was a plus
BaD_DonMaximo> Spoken like true champions
GNB_Mesta> DEFENDING CHAMPIONS.
GNB_Mesta> Tms and CTF =)
GNB__Notorious> yes defending champions
