Today was a good CS day for our team. We arrived at LG at around 10:30 with everybody rested up for what is usually going to be a long day of playing. Only 8 teams showed up for this event though, maybe because it was a Wednesday.
We started out with group play against the 3 other teams in our group. The first match we actually won 30-0, a perfect score. I can't even remember the last time that's even happened, usually someone jinxes it and we blow a stupid round. That's a hard feat to pull off nowadays in LAN play where anything can happen. We won our second map convincingly, and then beat Kevin's (Danny's roommate) team real bad, 26-4.
In bracket play, we played eMg in the second round on de_train and pooped on them 16-5. We handled b2b in the upper bracket finals, then just waited for the lower bracket to play itself out. The real surprise of the tournament would have to be eMg actually beating a much more individually skilled team in b2b. Although b2b was using a ringer for zid, it was still an upset in my book.
So then we played eMg in the finals on de_inferno. They won the knife round so we started T. We had an amazing half and took it to them 11-4. Second half started out really bad as we lost a 3v1 on the pistol round with the bomb down. It set a bad tone for the half and we just couldn't get any momentum going. We were eventually able to scrap up 5 rounds for the win, but they brought it back with 12 total rounds. Normal LG LANs can last ‘til about 4am, but this time we were out by 7pm that night. This was definitely the fastest LAN I've ever gone to and it was a nice and quick $100 for the each of us.
