EGSC 2 - The Finalists

EGSC 2 - The Finalists

This year's EGSC finalists are Blood and RisinBlood. These 2 squads will make it a bloody good final (sorry, couldn't resist...).

Last week Blood had 2 completely different games. In the first one they did not take Downshift serious and had lots of individual chokes. They defended their flagroom successfully, but never managed to establish an attack before E00Z subbed in and changed the game. Suddenly Blood had a strong attack, a good flank at home and an amazing front (E00Z... as usual). It only took them a single attack and 10 minutes to take the enemy flagroom and end the game.
Their second game was on Sunday with a worse showup for Blood (Nerd, E00Z, Sooper and some more Blood starters missing). On the other hand they had a much stronger all-round performance and they dominated Downshift who were "damned to surprise the top squads", as a DS player metioned afterwards.
Blood goes into the finals with an amazing victory streak! 0 losses, 0 draws speak a language of its own.
GG.

The second semi final was RisinBlood - Mutiny. I can't report much because my connection died early into the match. From what I heard RisinBlood pretty much dominated Mutiny to win the semis 2-0. Risin goes into the finals undefeated as well, but with 1 draw against Downshift from the regular season.
In the end of EGSC, Mutiny may be the fourth squadron to dissolve. Big games take big decisions...

So the finals are
BLOOD - RISINBLOOD !

With some scheduling luck, we will see the top10-15 flaggers of Extreme Games there. If both squads get a decent showup, this will be one hell of a game.

On a side note:
RisinBlood defeats Blood in 2 solid games (2 hours and 1 hour) and wins EGSC2.

Risin had a strong attack all the time and Blood never made it deep into enemy base. Blood was forced to play very late on Sunday and also missed some key players in both games. All in all Risin pretty much dominated because they got the best base on the map and had an enemy anchor with flags all the time.

Blood and RisinBlood will be the squads to beat in next EGFL which is supposed to start in July.
