CDC3 - ET Play Offs

With the Group Matches almost being over, were about to start the ET Play Offs. Instead of using the regular method of A versus B and C versus D, we're going to have a draw. FA Cup style. All the numbers 1 of the Groups are put in a Poule, and all the numbers 2 of the Groups in another Poule.

As shown on the QuadV stream just moments ago, the ET's upper bracker round 1 drawn:

Dignitas 2-4 TLR
Report
The words wow just really dont describe this match. Number 1 and Number 2 seed went head to head with one another and they were so evenly matched until the death that it was compelling viewing with skill of the highest order.

Dignitas won Goldrush but it was incredibly strange. They sluggishly completed the objectives with no great urgency. TLR with mAus and Xlyos were brilliant in defence at all stages, however dignitas were able to set an 11 minute time. Surely TLR could beat that? Well to do that you've got to actually get the tank, something that proved difficult for TLR! It took them 7 minutes to get the tank and surely at that point the game was lost? Not on your nellie! Dignitas fell apart the tank went to the bank with a ferrari engine inside it and we had just 2 minutes left TLR were all over dignitas. mAus had the gold under the bridge ready to move it into the truck only for senji the last man of dignitas to destroy him and his teammate with a double luger frag. Entertaining? You bet!

Dignitas attacked supply depot first and the general theme of the map was going to be quite the same. Dignitas attacked, TLR collapsed and someone in TLR would pull something magnificent out of the bag here it was Xylos and Matias reviving and defusing 3 dignitas dyno's on the first stage. Dignitas moved on pretty quickly through the command post and the main entrance but were held trying to get the truck in position. With 8 minutes played, Dignitas got both the truck in position and to the shock of everyone the crane controls built at the same time. They set a time of nine and a half minutes and the game was afoot. TLR attacked fluently and they were always ahead of their opponents time until the they moved the truck out of the depot and got stuck on the road out, tension builds with just a minute left however TLR save their blushes with a move away.

Onto Bremen - TLR attack and push Dignitas a long way quickly. Picking up the main entrance and planting it at the same time. They push away and with some good attacks and some horrible dignitas defences they are away with Matias and the objective. The Dignitas house of cards fell losing the command post as the objective went and the truck was TLR property shortly after. They put time on the clock once the truck was just stopped out of the garage but dAvid cleared the truck and ran it home. 6.02 to beat for Dignitas. The wind was very much in TLR's sails at this point but Dignitas soon took it out of them by taking the first stage mighty fast. However when it came to the command post and the documents it would be a different story. TLR's crossfire was brilliant and other than one Command Post attack and one document grab the game was over, and it was.

TLR won the match however 4-2 should say all you need to know if you missed it! It was close on all of the maps and tommorow Dignitas will be back and hungry for success
