Believe me when I say we should have won this match.


Knife Round

We lost and they picked to play the Terrorist Side first.


CT Side

A: Ander, Che, coSine
Mid: cannonfodder
B: maGzZ

We got off to a terrible start losing rounds we should have easily won. The first round we quickly ended up in a 3v1 situation with the bomb under our control. The second round we did a Short push which worked really well against their SMG A Split and again we had the bomb down with 4 of us alive and only 1 of them. Both rounds we lost due to people not playing the advantage and peeking one at a time, letting their last man standing pick us all off. What we should have done was hide and let them make a move, then all peek at the same time when they were most vulnerable.

After this, I'm not too sure what happened because we ended up on eco for the first 4 rounds for some reason. Perhaps we deco'd on the 3rd round and I missed it in the demo, but why we would have done this, I have no idea.

Anyway, we eventually buy on the 5th round and win prety easily, even though we gave them a head start with some nice team-nades. Unfortunately, we couldn't get any momentum going as they won the next round and we were back on eco again. Incidentally, if you want to see how a B Split should be done, watch round 7, since they executed one near-perfectly (albeit against pistols).

Our poor play continued and we lost more rounds where we were up 2 or 3 players. Pretty much the only thing that we did relatively well this half was our ecos, which were quite successful (although we still lost them all - but we were able to do lots of damage to their economy), even against full buys. On one eco in particular, coSine managed to win a 1v3 but couldn't defuse the bomb because of the good 'ol defuse bug.


Terrorist Side

Caller: Ander

We got off to a much better start on our preferred of the two sides, winning the first 3 rounds pretty convincingly. After the first round, which was pretty standard on both our parts, they tried some eco rushes, but we spotted them pretty early, so we were ready for them.

We lost the first buy round due to a bad call. We had picked Mid and we knew they played 3 at A but despite my suggestion of Spliting B, we Split A and got owned. After this minor blip however, we managed to get back into playing our game and racked up round after round with some especially nice play by cannonfodder throughout the half.

Our strong Terrorist Side continued with some really nice teamwork by coSine and cannonfodder, working together to split A perfectly and securing the round, saving us a game point. Unfortunately it went downhill during the last few rounds as we failed to close out the match. This was mainly down to people deciding to push by themselves and just getting picked, leaving us at a disadvantage straight away.

Nevertheless, had we won those easy 4v1's and 3v1's in the first half, we still would have won the match, even with defuse bugs.


GG.

Knife Round

We won in a pretty awesome fashion and picked the CT Side first.


CT Side

A: Ander, coSine, Che
Mid: cannonfodder
B: maGzZ

We didn't get off to the best of starts, losing the first 3 rounds. We simply got picked apart on the pistol round, then tried a Short Rush which didnt work out and then they bought up, so it was AKs against pistols. As an added bonus, as a team, we managed the grand total of 0 kills among us over these 3 rounds.

Once we got to buy up though, we started to turn the game around, comfortably winning the next 3 rounds in a row. On all the rounds we won as CTs, we displayed good, fast rotations and cover, really supporting each other well.

Since they knew by now that we were playing three at A, they kept trying to Split B and sometimes it worked when we didn't have people who could rotate fast enough to help out or when too many of us were picked early in the round.

From here on we traded rounds back and forth, resulting in a 4v1 situation in the final round, which somehow we lost. Why? Bad calls and people trying to get that last frag instead of thinking about the overall score. But we put that behind us as we moved on to the Terrorist Side.


Terrorist Side

Caller: Ander

We won the first 3 rounds after a great start on the pistol round. Then our weapons were better than theirs and we played anti-eco, so the next 2 came easily for us.

The first few buy rounds went the same way, with us winning every round quite convincingly - sometimes not even losing any players for a few rounds in a row. cannonfodder was on fire with his AWP, getting picks everywhere he went and opening up sites for us to easily take. Our dramatic winning streak ended after 9 rounds when we gave them a freebie with some stupid B Rush that had no place being in this half.

But by this time our confidence levels were at maximum and we won all the rest of the rounds, even some that we should have lost. And to end a truly dominating performance as Terrorists, we picked up the last round too, thanks to a nice 1v5 clutch by coSine.


GG all.
