As we're moving into the finals we have a cool match coming up with Team YoYoTech facing Team Dignitas. Both organizations seem to be huge competitors in the UK space, both supporting similar games and teams in them. Here at the Crossfire Intel Challenge 7 Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is a battleground of choice for these two teams. Of course with both teams getting this far, you could have guessed they are both part of the favourites to win the event.
Dignitas evolved from Blight, who evolved from Crossfire Challenge 6 winners mamut.si. Their lineup is as following:
feruS
drago
reload
Night
matias
YoYoTech have largely abandoned their roots from the team attending the previous CC6 and should be considered an entirely new contender.
wiaderko
twidi
R0SS
toxic
M1lk
The groupstage was a walk in the park for both teams, with neither losing any map.
In the playoffs Dignitas dropped a map against Nothing is Impossible, proving the name of the Belgian team might be more correct than anyone of us thought. However Dignitas managed to win the other two maps. In the second round Dignitas had no trouble beating the Friends in Force, who are composed of a lineup filled with the former YYT players from CC6. In the third round however Dignitas faced a very well playing tMoe side which pushed them into the lower bracket without the polish side losing any map. In the lower bracket Dignitas faced JungleBrothers, a team composed of players from Crossfire Challenge 5 winner H2k Gaming. Dignitas had no major problems in this match either, winning it four to nil.
Meanwhile YoYoTech followed a very similar route, beating angelDust four to nill, then facing the JungleBrothers, who YYT took down four to two. In their third upper bracket round YYT faced off against Team Rockit, who proved to be too hot to handle. With a two to four score YYT got pushed into the lower bracket, in which they faced Plug&Pown. A very tight match ensued, with YYT coming out on top, however a decider was necessary to produce a victor.
Both teams look like a perfect match skillwise. Will Dignitas be able to capitalize on their extensive LAN experience, or will YYT show they are worthy of a top 3 finish? Only time will tell.
