Idle have charged into the Eurocup Final for a second season in a row after one of the most thrilling matches in ET history.
In a three map contest idle started out on Axis on Goldrush, conceding the objective in just over 7 minutes, questions were to be raised about idle. 4 minutes and 3 seconds later answers were given in a truely stunning offensive display.
Moving onto Demiurge's map choice of Frostbite, the Scandinavians clawed their way back into the game after a shaky start. They lost the first stage very quickly after an idle push through the side forced a defensive move from Demi. However stunning defensive displays by Xionn and Tiigeri in particular held idle off for 9 minutes after many phenomenal document chases!
Demiurge moved onto offence with a healthy time to attack, and looked in good shape as they picked up the documents with about 6 minutes to go. However Night was to have the last laugh as he satchel charged the command post and force Demiurge all the way back and cost them 2 to 3 minutes of attack. However when the documents reached safe hands with Xionn he took his time and took us into a third map.
When eliminating maps idle were given the choice of radar or adlernest. Radar the logical choice one would think, with a quick memory to nights panzerfaust against Parodia, but Adlernest it was to be. Idle were held off by Demiurge for 7 whole minutes and the pendulum looked to have swung all the way into the Scandinavians hands. After a positive first stage and several document grabs it was Xionn with 3 minutes left on the clock who collected the documents.
Some 2 minutes and 50 seconds later Xionn emerged from the Command Post in a do or die situation, heart in mouth he charged for the transmitter but it was senji who stood firm and screamed "YOU SHALL NOT PASS"
These few paragraphs do the game no justice and I urge you to watch the game as demos become available!
