Kstrifes thoughts on the CEVOP semifinals

Hey guys just giving you all a brief run down on my thoughts on how we as a team entered the semi finals. We had Quixotic as our competitors and as a team we didn’t know what to expect from these guys even though they are not as seasoned as us they have a lot of young sharp players who can individually blow up and have great games. A good example of this was them beating our main competitor ArchaicMSI earlier in the season. Our over all preparation for the game lead us to focus on improving CT setups and T defaults as our disappointing CG grand final results has been a kick to our face making us only more motivated to improve. First map up was Tuscan, we lost knife starting T, we had a lot of momentum as T’s winning pistol and various gun rounds. At first we were unsure how Quixotic would play, I made alot of awp picks opening up spots in their armour for us to charge in. Although Quixotic caught us off guard a few rounds with agro CT pushes, never the less we had a 11-4 half finishing comfortably. CT side we won pistol instantly giving us the confidence that the game was over and the end result being 16-5.

Moving on to the next map train was selected, I had no doubt in my mind we are possibly the best train team in Australia so with crushing results from the first game and our home map up and starting CT we felt there wasn’t much room for failure. We bested them 14-2 on CT finishing the game on T’s 16-2. Personally from my team I think DimoJR played exceptionally well he was consistent and kept his awping up, Sai was right up there with him creating a lot of opening frags and locking down inside.

My final comments are is that we are entering the grand final as a different team than what we were at the start of the season. I’m looking forward to vs’ing archaic our friendly rivals again unfortunately due to roster locks they couldn’t use their preferred 5th but none the less it looks like it will be a great game.
