Lemondogs win 2on2 tourney over NiP

17-6-2013 23:58

Lemondogs have won the 2on2 World Championshop at DreamHack Summer 2013 by defeating NiP 16-13 after overtime, bringing them 100,000 SEK (~$15,500).

Due to time constraints this tournament named 2on2 World Championship and held at the Telia booth at DreamHack Summer 2013 switched its structure to bracket instead of having the 8 teams play group stage first. Also, earlier today fnatic forfeited their spot and the organizers invited Lemondogs instead to compete for the winner-takes-all 100,000 SEK prize.

It would turn out that the replacement team would come in and turn some heads, firstly eliminating ESC 13-6 on de_nuke_se and then edging out Virtus.pro in the semi-final on de_dust 13-11. Especially worth mentioning was the last round of the match against the CIS-based squad in which Simon "twist" Eliasson scored an AWP headshot on Kirill "ANGE1" Karasiow through the double doors and also wounded Mihail "Dosia" Stolyarov in the same fashion only a second later, which practically won the match for his team.

Lemondogs' twist led his duo to the title

On the other side of the bracket it was of course NiP that reached the final, represented by Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund and Adam "friberg" Friberg. They beat Curse on de_nuke_se 13-10 and Western Wolves on de_dust 13-9.

It was the Lemondogs duo that started well on their de_aztec CT side, taking 5-0 and 8-1 leads, but Alesund and Friberg got the final three rounds of the half to feel comfortable before sides changed.

NiP quickly got into the lead at 10-9, but the server was DDoSed at that point causing a short break. After restarting the match Lemondogs led by Eliasson's AWP turned their fortunes around and took a 12-10 lead. And that wasn't all we'd see, as Alesund stepped up in the last two rounds, including a nail-biting 1-on-2 to take the match into overtime.

It was in vain though, as Eliasson's AWP proved to be the deciding factor that led Lemondogs to clinch the match 16-13 and claim the 100,00 SEK prize.

ah, okay

pathetic? how is that a better word for it?

2013-06-18 01:00

stupid is the best word i think)

2013-06-18 02:10

cos it shows what a fucked up perspective sponsors and organisers have on CSGO. putting up that much money for a stupid 2on2 tournament instead of putting up the smaller amount for that, and a huge prizepool for the 5on5. i realise it was different organisers for the 2on2 compared to the main, but why didnt the organisers of the 2on2 just put up all that cash for a seperate 5on5 tourny of their own? it would have had much more appeal

2013-06-18 02:30

Pretty ok i Guess. The main event 5vs5 shoukd Be 100k.

2013-06-20 08:15

dunno, LD deserved it, especially twist played very well with his awp. BUT NiP lost alot of Momentum because of this DDoS thing... Anyways, both GG.

it's a fucking joke that these 2 guys get more money for that random bullshit, than the 5 winners of the 5on5 competition

+1 haha i dont see what were organizers thinking :D when i saw 15k$ i couldnt believe it :D

2013-06-18 00:41

You understand the 2 guys dont actually get all of it?

2013-06-18 12:34

deserved. gj twist

Great fun, shame the server lagged like fuck in the final as that really lost NiP their momentum. I won't say the magical D word, but if that actually happened, they should be ashamed because at the end of the day this was a fun tournament shaped into promoting CSGO, with top players playing for some money and banter. Enjoyed it though, Anders is wonderful and is now a star man for CSGO's casting future :)

At this very moment I am sat at the hotel after a day of more than 14 hours straight work, I havnt had anything to eat and I´ve been trying to look through the feedback which isnt all of it helpful or friendly. I am really happy to hear the 2on2 was fun watching because I had no idea what I or Heaton was saying 90% of the time. The hall was so loud and I honestly feel really dissapointed in how the day ended. Thanks for the kind words though Tom.

2013-06-18 01:27

Ignore the shit comments like "Anders is shit..." focus on the constructive comments like (for example) "Anders tends to call at three times the speed and sometimes it can be difficult to hear what he is saying clearly, he also calls a few things wrong as well." That is an example btw, not actual feedback. I actually thought you and lurppis (for me to say this about him is hard) but you and lurppis stole the show and really did well, you guys nailed a good chemistry, kept people interested and lurppis analysis of the games actually helped. You also for me made the 2v2 tournament so much fun, I know HeatoN was there as well, and I love HeatoN as a player, but I think he as you say was affected by the loudness of the hall beside you. At the end of the day you really shone this weekend, and that is a massive credit to you. I have seen nothing but positive feedback about you over the weekend through Twitter, Cadred and on here.

2013-06-18 01:37

U were always saying "absolutely true" " "that is absolutely true" "yea i agree with that" when lurpiss finished speaking, annoying if u ask me. sometimes its better to start a new phrase not just agree with everything he says.

2013-06-18 09:36

How do you mean? In which way? IN most cases when someone agrees he/she doesnt have any essential to say, dont you agree that its better than spilling out nonsense?: ) REMEMBER RED THREAD

NiP unable to win all :D

Why not put let's say 5K in the 2 on 2? It will still create a big interest and some sick action. And the 5 on 5 tourney should get the remaining cash in the prizepool.

What a fucking JOKE twist would of NEVER been able to afford the AWP that was pivotal in coming back after the DDos. What a joke.

GG, it got quite intense there when gtr clutched that with pistol.

2013-06-18 00:03

friberg`s whine :D

Anders arguably the consistently best CSGO caster around at the moment, perhaps only with the exception of Redeye for ESL.

He needs to work on his English though. I'm not saying it has to be fluent, but there are too much mumbling going on. He even manage to interrupt his own sentences from time to time

Yeah he could slow down sometimes :)

2013-06-18 00:11

I just hate it when casters say 'guys' in every sentence.

2013-06-18 01:55

and knochen, although Im not sure how many people outside germany get the gist of what he's saying. even despite me only getting 80 percent of what they say it's a great quality cast, and knochen really is very funny. his bravoure and confidence is highly paradoxal as to his looks :P awesome guy!

2013-06-18 00:20

youre joking right? anders is not very good, ricks(rickz, not sure what hes called.) natu,pansy,joe, warclown all of them are much better. Im really sick of hearing this from anders, Oh he takes down dosia, a really important player to take down, and this could be really good for NiP. and when hes done explaining how important that frag was, 2,3 more frags have come out of the round. during last starseeries playoffs i changed to the russian stream, because i couldnt listen to the guy, but if he works on his flaws in his casting, he could become a very good caster.

2013-06-18 08:30

Well played LD. Sad stuff DDosers. F-ing anoying.

2013-06-18 00:05

Well done LD...Stupid tourny though

gg, ld guys played so well and goodnight to nip fans. continue blablablablalbla they just didn't play as well as twist and xelos did there's nothing to say about it.

blablablablabla and 5v5 (actual counter strike) blablablablabla good time for a "timeout" when you've lost 6of7 t side rounds. blablablablabla

2013-06-18 05:10

GG wp lemondogs! very nice

70.000 SEK for winning dreamhack main tournament and 100.000 for a 2on2 tournament, seems about right..

Lol, yeah.

wp lemondogs absurd amount and horrible distribution of money for a 2v2 comp i only watched a bit at the end, got a little tense. i would have been much more interested if it was done on aim maps than how it was done

2013-06-18 00:10

aim_map ? lol gtfo (srs)

i also felt that 2on2 on classic maps is pointless.. why bother organize a 2on2 when its on classic maps anyway.. i thought the point of the 2on2 tournament is to offer the viewers something spectecular and out of the ordinary and to show off the individual skills of pro players.. 2on2 on classic maps isnt much different than a 2on2 that results of 3 players dying on t and ct side now is it? except for a few minor things but i guess you get my point

2013-06-18 17:10

how is it 15k for swedish championship & 2on2 yet only 10k for main tournament? Logic :(

these tournaments are bein' organised by different organisations/companies

2013-06-18 00:13

The main tournament is always low on summers because they priority swedish championship

Worst. Tournament. Ever.

Well played Lemondogs It was fun to watch a 2on2 tournament for once, but the prize was just crazy

no f0rest no NiP....

no f0rest no win

Fuck ddosers :@

im pretty sure they will do any EXTRA party after this for lemondogs members

If it was f0rest+GTR, NiP will win for sure...

Thank Fnatic :p

2013-06-18 00:21

$15,500 for a 2on2 tournament? omg

2013-06-18 00:24

no fifflaren no win

rofl what an amazing prize pool for a 2v2. Fuckin stupid. Should be a third of that at most.

15k$ for winner 2on2 tournamet? LOL

2013-06-18 00:36

10 days later everybody "say really 15,5k $ for winner 2on2 tournament? really? they won more than 5on5 wow! 15,5 for first place 0 for second really?" i go sleep

2013-06-18 00:45

Retard move by sponsors. First was group stage , than they make ko phase,than final bo1 on public map... Free money for LD,flusha DDoS to make NiP losing xD

why flusha?

2013-06-18 02:01

You seem upset & clueless.

2013-06-18 10:39

wow you mentally retarded or something you really think someone from epsilon or anything like that would dDos? wow grow up.

2013-06-18 10:56

You really can use your brain... You must be a litlle bit (or more) retard,this was a simply joke because NiP beat epsilon in both finals. Now go to sleep.

2013-06-18 11:01

If u look in this way Lemondogs won more money then NiP on this journey, haha so funny.

2013-06-18 00:53

Technically not as NiP won both the main tournament and Swedish Championship, so NiP took home just over $20k whilst Lemondogs took home this.

2013-06-18 01:42

its still fucking bullshit isnt it? why the prices dont look like: 1. $7,000 2. $3,500 3-4. $1,500 5-8. $500 its way better and fair for the other participants and I assume this tournament is more 4fun so let it be 4fun and give all the teams 'something' like IEM/EMS tournaments, even the worst team on the event is getting some money

2013-06-18 02:20

Yeah I suppose so, however it was Inferno Online run, and Telia sponsored, they can put the money how they like as it's their money.

2013-06-18 02:29

I forgot about Swedish tour -.-, anyway they took 15k home, it's big amount of money for just 3/2 played matches.

2013-06-18 11:30

Lemondogs got around $3500 from the swedish championship and something over $1000 from the dhs so they are pretty even.

2013-06-18 09:44

Too much money for a bullshit tournament that wasn't even played the way it should have. And getting DDOSed? nc It's sad that sth like this happens at the end of a great 3-day show.

2013-06-18 01:24

Have you considered the fact that some teams may of had flights late night/early morning (ie Curse). I can understand why they changed the format if time constraints were put on them due to the teams wanting to compete but had to be gone by a certain time.

2013-06-18 01:44

lol The initial scheduling itself was very limiting, and the flight argument is a really tricky one since it should've been communicated earlier by both parties not on the spot in the last moments. Considering the circumstances the change is understandable(I never said otherwise), but that doesn't change the fact that a 2v2 SIDE-tournament should have the same prize purse as the main tournament.

2013-06-18 02:28

Yeah true however DHS is a smaller LAN usually compared to DHW, so focus was on the Swedish Championship, whilst this 2v2 was ran by somebody else and hosted at DH.

2013-06-18 02:31

u jelly Xelos haters?;D

2013-06-18 01:26

2013-06-19 18:23

honest question...is twist better then delpan with the awp? was nip looking for a awper in twist back then in the beginning of cs:go

2013-06-18 02:02

ddos from Delpan :D

2013-06-18 02:12

no f0rest, no win!

2013-06-18 02:47

twist was truly amazing this whole tournament

2013-06-18 03:37

awfullll

2013-06-18 03:46

Delpan's awp shoot is so fast that one awp shot cause massive DDoS.

2013-06-18 04:23

Vod?

2013-06-18 04:53

This tourney sucked and im glad nip lost. Watched the first match with Heaton play by playing right over nips shoulder and 20 ft away from curse. Could nip hear game commentary on position where as curse could not idk, but it was a very amateur set up.

2013-06-18 05:04

There was shitload of noise going on,a live concert and shit,it was almost impossible to hear commentary in the first match,then production changed microphones and many settings so it was better. There is no way any player could have heard anything except their headphones,concert & events were going on almost all the way.

2013-06-18 09:50

100 000 SEK = 15k for this kind of tourney is fucking unbeliveble;could have held another amazing 5on5 but they just have to go for it lool

2013-06-18 05:05

Lemondogs = new fnatic ?

2013-06-18 05:28

fnatic wont change lineup

2013-06-18 08:10

Rip nip. Ld best top1 on lan. Friberg lost the match saucer. Please tell me more about how those money should be used for 5on5 tournament to have again matches with 500 viewers

2013-06-18 05:34

gj twist!!! <3

2013-06-18 07:48

Omg man , so much money for the 1st place :D nicee gj lemondogs

2013-06-18 07:49

w0w really for LD 15 500 for two players gj

He said they would share it with their teammates

2013-06-18 09:48

im kinda surprised that DH&co. let their servers get DDoSed... really. That short break / money momentum reset was really shame at that point. Anyway they started at a fair point again.. but still. nice price pool btw

2013-06-18 08:22

Agree, the only thing that grinds my gears(Yes, Ive watched Family guy) is that is should have been like 10k to winner and 4k to 2nd while 3-4 get like 500$ each.

2013-06-18 15:33

still strange that 2on2 > 5on5 in prizemoney

2013-06-18 10:40

another sponsors!

2013-06-18 11:59

Telia and Inferno Online I think.

and samsung as they were playin on samsung monitors

2013-06-18 23:22

Wow, LD really won everything on that lagg...

2013-06-18 10:52

it was kinda fun to see

2013-06-18 12:42

What a Lemondogs embarrassing victory. First, enter two strangers on the server, (magically), each in a team, players talk to them and tell them to leave. The two go. After they left, suddenly, the server starts to go wrong, lagged, just when NIP starts winning. How curious ... Embarrassed that only you can beat NIP with traps. If you dont truste me, look at the DEMO. GO NIP.

2013-06-18 13:59

And afterwards they get awp they never could have bought,and nip has to semi-buy despite they had shitload of money (4-5 rounds in a row) before server switch.

2013-06-18 18:16

Thats it. really embarrasing.

2013-06-18 20:17

it was a defuse mode 2on2?oO

2013-06-19 18:09

omg 15k$ for 2on2 tournament , are you kidding me ? :D:D why the fuck at main tournament they get so low money then

2013-06-18 14:00

Because at 2on2 they don't split the money with 2-8th place.

2013-06-20 18:59

Why do ppl bother about the prizemoney? Doesn't change anything and who cares about which ppl who get paid. Almost all casters are shit/terrible aswell, just to clear that out. Listen to redeye and get_a_clue, then cast matches.

2013-06-18 14:39
