Lineup DmK Waterkater aka. HdB^ U-GoD B-NooB BLiMeY BRUTALITY kE ~ Killereye Seraph^-

Seraph^- (codex, 1 downloads)

First level: Malevolence
So the first map of the evening. I haven't seen this map being played a lot during this cup, and it sure surprised us (DmK) in the picks. We actually decided on Malevolence in 1 minute max i think! :D

Anyways, lets go to the lineups:

for DmK :

Waterkater aka. HdB^ (Mid)
U-GoD B-NooB BLiMeY (High)
kE ~ Killereye (Behind High)
Seraph^- (Mid)

And for x4 :

x4unreal (High)
4xsigaretje (Behind High)
KOSHEEN (Mid)
1sso (Mid)

The map:

The first 10 minutes it was a really tense battle, with the fragcounts going equally up. It was when Seraph^- moved from mid to high when we started to gain a bit of a lead. U-GoD B-NooB BLiMeY couldn't get up there, so he went mid. This proove to be a really good swap for DmK.
On the other side it was x4unreal who was hitting loads and he made things for us really difficult on mid. Really well played by him there, as he dominated the high for the first 10 minutes.

DmK  win by 461 to 426

Second level: Deck
The second map of the evening! And to both clans' surprise it was picked by both clans. So we had to play boring old deck twice ...

These were the lineup for the first 20 minutes of Hide&Seek!

for DmK :

BRUTALITY replacing ->Waterkater aka. HdB^ (Corner)
U-GoD B-NooB BLiMeY (Corner)
kE ~ Killereye (High)
Seraph^- (Slime/Flak area)

And for x4 :

x4unreal (High)
4xsigaretje (High)
KOSHEEN (Corner)
1sso (Slime/Flak area)

This map started off as Malevolence. Not a lot of frags between both clans. It was when x4unreal started to do his thing up high and started to get a DOMINATING even, when DmK had to do something about it. x4 had gotten a lead of 15-20 frags at this time. The reaction of DmK? We sent kE ~ Killereye and BRUTALITY up high to chase them down, while me and U-GoD B-NooB BLiMeY stayed in our starting positions. This worked out great for us as we managed to close the gap and even end the map with a +25 frag difference!

DmK  win by 352 to 328

Third level: Liandri
So 2 maps down and 2 to go before elimination. DmK needed a victory to bring the medal home, x4 needed to win to keep their hopes alive.

for DmK :

BRUTALITY (High)
U-GoD B-NooB BLiMeY (Low)
kE ~ Killereye (High)
Seraph^- (Mid)

And for x4 :

x4unreal (High/Mid)
4xsigaretje (High/Mid)
KOSHEEN (Low)
1sso (Low)

The map :

The map started off with all players finding their positions and ofcourse getting spawnkilled up high. x4 quickly gained a lead of 10-20 frags, but DmK smelled that medal and they weren't planning on losing this map! There wasn't really a point where all the action was as it shifted from low to high all the time. As the 5 minute mark drew near, there were just 5-10 frags between both clans. At one occasion in favor of x4 the next in favor of DmK. But in the end there could be only one clan. At 20 minutes there were just 3 frags between both clans, in favor of x4. So a fourth map would be played.

x4  win by 435 to 432

Fourth level: Deck
Another time deck?! Yes, we decided we loved it so much we wanted to play it another time. Will this second map turn out just as the first one, or will x4 get their game together to force an elimination map?! Let's see who the warriors are who enter this arena.

for DmK :

BRUTALITY (High)
U-GoD B-NooB BLiMeY (Corner)
kE ~ Killereye (High)
Seraph^- (Slime Area)

And for x4 :

x4unreal (High/Slime area)
4xsigaretje (High/Slime area)
KOSHEEN (Corner)
1sso (Slime area)

The map :

DmK used the same strategy they used throughout the end of the first deck they played, because it had been prooven a valid tactic. x4 on the other hand decided to tackle this problem in a different matter. They tried to snipe us down from the ASMD area. I don't know what happened this map, but for some reason DmK lost their cold and started to play very disorganised. x4 taking full advantage of this and they won the map with a fraglead of 69! An elimination map would be played...

x4  win by 414 to 345

Fifth level: Codex
The elimination!

x4 started to pick: Curse out!
DmK's pick: Agony out
x4: Stalwart
DmK: Cityzen
now x4 had the choice between: Viridian and Codex, and they went for the latter.

The lineups of the last clash of the evening to decide who takes home the medal!

for DmK :

BRUTALITY (mid ramp)
U-GoD B-NooB BLiMeY (water)
kE ~ Killereye (High ramp)
Seraph^- (lift area)

And for x4 :

x4unreal (Middle)
4xsigaretje (Ramp)
KOSHEEN (water)
1sso (Freelance)

The map :

Both teams wanted to win this game, and take home that medal. This was shown in the first 10 minutes of this game as both teams were fragging as if their lives depended on it. No clan getting a real lead, just like the liandri game. But in the end, after losing them Liandri (yes, i was the only 1 with negative effi on our team :() Seraph^- decided that it was time for payback. Fragging like a madman and hitting a lot. x4 tried to keep up with DmK now, but the combined fragpower of DmK was just too much. DmK manage to win the map and thus the shiny div 2 medal!

DmK  win by 456 to 428

a really tense war! both x4 and DmK could've won this war. A really nice job by x4 by fighting back into this war and taking the map which they first lost (deck). Gz DmK on the medal (my 1st one in 11 years of playing this damn game :P) and gz x4 on the second place.
