Opencup semi final!
|
We just got back from playing squad damage for a place in the Clanbase Opencup Premier Division final, who we eventually beat 3-2 with 3 coaches!!
Not surprisingly the server search was over in about 10 minutes, both teams settling on gs.net, ek chose dm6 & dm7, whereas sqd chose dm14tmp and dm6.
Our map was first and we made way with dm6, a really close battle right throughout with sqd doing there best to hold rail, we eventually managed to take it and ra and edged out a 15 or so frag lead, this didn’t prove enough and going into the last minute sqd closed us down to 2 frags but couldn’t quite finish it off, ek win 133-131.
Onto sqd’s map of dm14, our coach had now gone missing and we were struggling to find a replacement, blowfish jumped on the server and did his best, however without him on team speak it was always going to be tough, sqd held the map really well and we had little in the way of any sync’d attacks, in the end they ran out easy winners with a score of 72-116.
Third coach of the evening now, Kilem from unr/le jumped on team speak and made all the difference, keeping us together and so on. We got the better of the spawns and opened up an early 20 frag lead which we maintained for the entire map, sqd playing more cautious than cessing so a pretty quiet game other than quads, 129-94 to us.
Dm6 made its second appearance of the night however this time it didn’t quite go to plan, we opted to go for rail over ra and it kind of back fired, losing most quads to a well organised sqd and us paying no attention to the coach at all, sqd won 106-155.
Deciding map now and since sqd had more frags they eliminated first, I knew what maps we didn’t want and which we did, and amazingly we got it, we got rid of ospdm15 and osp6, and it came down to osp5 and cpm4 with sqd to pick, amazingly they decided to eliminate osp5 which had they done any research on us at all, would have known it’s a big favourite of ours.
Onto the map, it was close right the way through, no more than 10-15 frags apart, a few shabby quads nearly let sqd back in but with the last minute or two to go, we left the last quad and held high RA and managed to take the map 107-97.
So that takes us into our first Opencup final where we will play Lemmings Effect, who bizarrely enough our coach for the last 3 maps plays for, the game will be scheduled soon.
