Desert Edge Finishes in 2nd Place!
Well we had 5 player represent at the UXPL this weekend (Jeff, Devin, Than, Jordan, and Kia)
We did an awesome job and gained some mad respect from the others teams. Here was our 7 game breakdown.
(there is a possible of 100 points per game, to score 100 you have to eliminate all the players on the other team and not lose one person, also you have to grab the flag and hang it on your side all in the 5min time limit)
1st game - Win - 100pts
2nd game- Win - 94pts
3rd game - Win - 94pts
4th game - Win - 94pts
5th game - Win - 94pts
6th game - Win - 98pts
7th game - Loss - 12pts
There were 16 team in our division and we were the only team with only one loss, and there were only 4 teams with 2 losses.
Semi-Finals (best two out of three)
1st game - Loss
2nd game - Win
3rd game - Win
Finals
1st game - Loss
2nd game - Loss
The 1st game of the finals we got out of our groove by losing Thanh in the first 30 seconds and we were trying a new game plan. The 2nd game Jeff's gun didn't work so he didn't even get one ball off; also we didn't make it two our secondary bunkers. The game ended in a 2 on 2 and one of their guys did an amazing run through to take us out. The team we lost two was one of the four teams with only 2 losses, which one of them came from us, but in the end they out played us.
We took 2nd for the tournament but thats not bad for our first season in D5 devision.
It was a great event, but it was a long and hard fight all day. We didn't finish until about 8pm. We made some friends and gained the respect from a lot of speedball teams out there.
