Team Extreme's highly anticipated All Star Tournaments got a new » sponsor for yesterday's tournament, offering products out of their online game webshop worth a total of €75. It all came down to a major conflict including an admin, and the following two players:
Nal_Testie;
coming from the upper section of the brackets, beat top players like
DSky.aqrash, ToT)Ovvi( and Breakdown[pG] to get to the finals.
iD.Twisted;
coming from the lower bracket part, won to HnR)Pride,
VeG[pG] and GoS-Chaso(TE).
The first game was played at Nostalgia which Twisted won "fairly easy" according to himself - yet no signs of any inconvenience whatsoever. In the second game, however, Testie's internet connection started to create issues; he was disconnected over and over again. Testie did not only disconnect once or twice, but four times! After the first disconnect, they replayed the game and saved between short periods in the game, and resumed from those saves whenever Testie was disconnected.
After a while, it worked again and they didn't continue saving that much anymore. Twisted claimed he now had a big advantage and looked forward to a win when his own Internet did the same;
- Twisted:
There were suprisingly no specific rules about disconnects and the admin,
Lord_Marine(TE), said he couldn't disqualify Testie in the middle of the finals, especially not since money was included. So, Nal_Testie ended up as tournament winner, €75 richer. Also worth noting is that Chaso suprisingly beat the Chinese national World Cyber Games winner, LinYu)PJ, in the second round. Good work!
Brackets and replays can be found at Clan Team Extreme's official homepage (below).
