SV over eXeL
This being our first title shot match as a clan (and bluepipe's first match ever) we were really excited.
Round 1 - eXeL's server was a bit laggy (i think it was a west coaster), so we ended up playing both rounds on our side. Anyway, round kicked off and our rush was stomped on by whoever the hell their soldier was. While on eXeL's side, they owned us with alot of touches. No less than 2 minutes later, they capped and I was screamin my head off at the offense to pick up the pace. We eventually pull one out as this defense was incredibly hard to get by. But push came to shove and we were bringin in caps. eXeL and SV were cap for cap mid round, but towards the end our D suited up and the offense was able to work together to pull out 2 more than the enemy. Round ends 60-40 SV.
Round 2 - Pretty much the same thing, only scout rushes were a bit different. This time it was us who got quick touches and eXeL with a loss for words on who's touch came first. I believe our O clinged together much more this round because there were a hell of alot more touches. I believe it's safe to say that we were able to keep eXeL guessing our next moves. But any hltv spectator can say it was a nail biter. Hands down, we had no idea who was going to win from beginning to end. But, in the end SV was able to pull out their 4th STA win and keep that undefeated streak. Round ends 80-50.
Total 140-90
I do believe it was safe to say that all clanners in this match played in the best match they've played in a long time. I know I did. GG Guys hope to see you again in the STA.
