CAL-i Semi-Finals

[Zyklon]

I missed the second half of the zEx vs WEW match, but WEW surprised me, played greatly as a team, looked like zEx's strats were lacking on the CT side even though they won. Congrats to WEW.

On another note, I find it funny that many flamed me after I made my comment about zEx before, claiming I didn't know anything about eSports and that I was a biased reporter. Unfortunately for you kids, I've been following eSports since CAL Season 1 and I don't happen to be some "punk kid". I've been on CS-Nation staff for over a year and I've always reported the news with the utmost professionalism, give or take a rizzuh joke or two. Some of you may not know me because I've been gone for awhile, while others will remember me for my in-depth reports and unbiased, fact-based analysis'. That is why I'm correct when I state that zEx are online superstars - they perform very well online, while on lan they aren't on top of the ladder. No, I'm not sending negative conotations or claiming cheaters or anything of the sort, I'm merely stating the truth. When zEx wins WCG USA instead of being knocked out and ranked #4 behind WEW, Forsaken and 3D, I'll give them their due title of LAN superstars as well.

I believe you're mistaking yourself with spiffman. I think him and scr0llwheel got lives or something though(traitors).

[kaxman]

WHY COULDN'T I HAVE GOTTEN TO WATCH THIS MATCH!!??!



Argh, the scorebot alone has me pumped...

[domdell]

so whats the final 3d/rival score?

[kaxman]

Just ended now.



Rival > 3D 13-10 then they disconnected



Ah yes, demo demo demo I wanna see this it was damn close.

[Zyklon]

Won't ANYONE say the score .

[dRage]

Rival just won great game!!

[Gpig]

3D was 0-3 going into second half after losing 7-5 first half. They won I think 3 in a row then lost one. Then won two more. Then lost.

[kaxman]

And my god if #rival is no the funniest thing I've ever seen on Gamesnet. 1200 in there right now, huge flood, funny shit, wow.



Where can I get a demo?

[Zyklon]

WEW vs. Rival, quite the opposite of what I expected, should be a good match nontheless.

[Johnrx86]

hahaha 3d lost

server > 3d

[i forgot to use the little quote button x;]



Hmmm... The only times we've played WEW and Forsaken online, we lost to both of them. We have never played 3D on lan. We placed 4th in the nation at WCG NY in the USA [ a lan ]. We finished tied for 3rd with 3D in CALi the online league for North America.



The only teams we have lost to _ON LAN_ are as follows -



TSO 13-11 at CPL summer [this after they went 16-0 in CALi online]

mTw 13-4 [the european team that won LA7 which featured such teams as SK.sca, 2easy, etc...]

Forsaken aka Team Netzone - 13-1 and 13-11 at WCG

WEW - 13-3 [on aztec our weakest map]



those are ALL of our losses on LAN

lets compare that to some ONLINE losses [and we have many more losses than this, around 20 in total I believe I'm just using these as a comparison to how we faired vs the same teams _ON LAN_ vs. _ONLINE_]



F^ - 13-11 [on cbble our strongest map]

WEW - 17-7

TEC - 13-11

rs - 16-12



We have BEATEN the following teams on lan



P~ - 13-11

D|S - 13-6

IAM - 13-5

[e--] - 13-5 [who was undefeated in CALi at that point]

Rival - 16-8 [who just beat 3D and was undefeated in CALi when we beat them at WCG]

NUDE - 17-7 [who beat Forsaken at WCG , Forsaken in turn beat WEW]

iwa - 13-0, 13-3, 13-4, 13-1

EDL - 13-7

and many other less known teams



I fail to see how our lan performances are worse than our online performance.



And another side note. Our lineup it completely different from the one that placed 4th at WCG. Revenge and Shaguar have replaced Silk and Judic. Both Revenge and Shaguar are known for their strong play _ON LAN_ and that is why we recruited them.
