Desert Edge Finishes 2nd place!
Well we had 7 players represent at the UXPL this weekend (Jeff, Devin, Than, Dan, Greg, Bralen, and me (kia))
And we did an awesome but couldn't close out again and took 2nd place again. But we are currently in 1st place for the season. 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 - Loss - Demise 94pts vs. DE 12pts
We had a 2 on 2 situation at the end and then had a player pulled due to a penality, which left a 2 on one. I shot one of the guys leaving a one on one and I didn't know where he was until he shot me in the back. But now looking at the points it looks like they got the refs got the count wrong and gave them credit for two alive.
2nd game - Win - Vanille Weasels 12pts vs. DE 94pts
We came out ready to redeem ourselves from the last performance.
3rd game - Win - Evo 4 pts vs. DE 98pts
We did a great job of getting to our 1st and 2nd bunkers and locking down our lans working the angles and killing people. We only lost one player.
4th game - Stalemate - Rupture 20pts vs. DE 20pts
Ended up in a pretty exciting one on one battle that ended up in a trade out and a stalemate.
5th game - Win - Ugly Stick 4pts vs. DE 98pts
We came out gunning strong and worked aggressively to our secondary bunkers. We knew we were in for a hard fight and got it. But we were able to get a few kills and open a couple lanes to finish the rest. We only lost one player.
6th game - Stalemate - Bad Medicine 18pts Vs. DE 18pts
Wow, this team was hanging tuff. We battled and battled and it ended in a stalemate with only one player from each team still alive.
7th game - Win - Turd Burglers 12pts vs. DE 94pts
We had to win this game to get into the semi finals. If we lost they got into the semi finals and if we won we were in. So it was pretty intense from the beginning. We played conservative and one had one laner, and just focused on making our bunkers. We ended up out numberd in the end but like the super killer he is Devin killed 3 players in a row to finish off the other team and seal the victory, and our place in the semi finals.
We ranked #1 in our bracket for our division and moved on to the semi finals to play the #2 team of the other bracket, which was Anonymous
Semi-Finals (best two out of three)
1st game - Win
The moment I remember the most was when Greg ran up and bunkered the last guy out of the snake to seal the deal and win the 1st match.
2nd game - Win
We then moved into the finals to play Bad Medicine, who was one of the teams we stalmated against earlier in the day. They are a talanted team with a lot of exprience and out played us in the finals to take the win.
Finals
1st game - Loss
2nd game - loss
Once again we walked away with 2nd place, but we continued to turn heads and gian the respect of the competition. But we are the #1 team for the season. The new 07 Ego's worked awesome!! Thanks again Planet Eclipse!!
Thanh Saengkeo was voted Team MVP for the event.
