Infame mix at IO

Hey! I just came home from the last qualifyer. Our mix was (Me, Get_Right, zneel, jumpy, florenz) And we hadnt even played with eachother before the event.

We started the groupstage with a quite easy win. Then we were up against playzone.fi which we knew were the best team in our group. And actually it felt really easy when we started our CT-side on nuke. We basicly won every round that half and finished 13-2 and then we got totally comfortable and started to play a little bit to random which made playzone come back to a 15-15 result. Before the last groupmatch we were 1 round worse then playzone so we had to play good to take the 1st place in our group. Well we did and we got 16-2 i think and playzone lost some rounds which made us finish 1st in the group.

Well out first match in the groupstage went quite easy. We played really good and there wasnt any real problem there.
But then in the semi-final of the day we were up against MYM.
We started as CT and we lost the first pistolround of the match. Then we took some weaponsrounds in a row and we kind of got some momentum in the game. Then there was some rounds back and forth and mym took the last 3 rounds of the first half if i remember correctly:P 9-6 to mym the first half. Then we won the T-pistol and started to pick some rounds and got some momentum up. When Mym started to AWP as ct we lost some rounds that we couldnt do much about but finally we could finish with 16-13...

After mym we were playing playzone.fi again in a bo3. And in this match we just focused on our aim this time and didnt do too much tactic wise. Jumpy called some rounds and then some rounds people just did what they felt like and we just communicated ingame really good instead which made us have the control over the game almost the whole game through i think. It felt really good to beat them after a tie in the groupstage.

And now to the final. We had been at IO for about 10 hours straight (with two small food breaks) and were going to face Complexity.

We started out on inferno as T and we had some trouble picking up rounds. The rounds were close back and forth and they won the first half 8-7. And as CT we didnt really got any momentum and our communication were actually quite bad. We lost almost all the close rounds and they could take home the first map. And we were a bit dissepointed ofc. We went outside for a talk and chose to play dust2 as second map. We felt confident on that one after the match vs mym. And it felt like we had the rounds going for us and we played really good the whole map through. We won dust2 quite easy with good aim and communication. The last map of the tournament were Nuke. We started as T and it was a really close side for us. They closed some rounds really good and we did some good rounds too and we won our 1on1 and 2on2 situations. We got into the 2nd half with a lead 8-7. And we knew that we had a strong ct-side since earlier matches of the tournament. And i have to say that the guys holding b1 did a really really good job closing this site totally which made us going as champions :)

It was a really good and fun tournament!!! CHEERS!
