As much as I'd hate to bump down the awesome articles about the TF2Lobby Project and the Robin Walker Interview, I feel the need (read: my boss says either I do it or I'm fired) to interject with an update on the Alienware Arena Tournament that has, as of late, narrowed itself down from about 150 teams to just a mere 12.
We are still a few weeks away from the final match at the beginning of February, but we've seen a select few of extremely close games in this final leg to break the seemingly endless pattern of 5-X wins (where X is less than 3) that had been so prevalent in the beginning of the tournament. I thought I'd take a moment to mention them here before I get to the meat and 'taters of the article, which are collectively results of this past weekend's matches.
Perplex 4 > 3 Double Negative on cp_badlands
the terribles 5 > 4 TONY HAWK PRO SKATERS on cp_granary
Tribune 5 > 4 Businessmen on cp_badlands
Teams that are crossed out have unfortunately been knocked out of the competition. Their families will be contacted and we as a community will make note of their sacrifice and never forget their struggle for a share of that $2,279.94 USD as well as one of their very own fancy, high-end network cards.
They will be missed...
...but enough of that nonsense! Lets talk about the WINNERS! YEAH
Last Monday was Badlands day and since everybody and their grandmother in terms of the competitive community knows how to play that map like the back of their hand, the matches last Monday night were more or less decided by who could outgun the other and who was more solid in their push timings.
Unfortunately, though, not all of the matches that were meant for last Monday have been taken care of so there will be a few Postponed game results that are not available yet, but the rest of them are for sure!
