lurppis' mix through to EPS Sca.

11-11-2008 15:45

A mix team led by former roccat player Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen defeat AndThenSome to book themselves a place in EPS Scandinavia.

Over the weekend an EPS Scandinavia qualifier took place which saw the likes of AndThenSome and Kovanen's mix team HaHa. HaHa were able to beat AndThenSome in the final of the tournament 4-0 to earn themselves a place in EPS Scandinavia.

HaHa, which also featured to former members of 4 Kings, were able to bounce back from their 0-2 defeat in the semi-finals to AndThenSome to win the tournament.

For the majority of the tournament AndThenSome seemed to be destined winners, having dropped no maps in any of the rounds until meeting HaHa for the second time in the Grand Final. Due to HaHa coming from the lower bracket, it was necessary for them to win 4 maps, and that they did. Nuke, train, inferno and nuke again were the maps picked by the teams, and HaHa were able to win each of them, 16:10, 16:12, 16:08, 16:13 respectively.

HaHa has now achieved a place in the regular season of EPS Scandinavia, while AndThenSome and munkka, the third-place, will fight for the two spots that will be given through an international qualifier that will gather teams from the four Scandinavian countries.

lurpis go to gameplay, they need you

ATS were undefeated while they played with their regular Lineup. Finals with Lebari turned out to be a failure.

For the majority of the tournament AndThenSome seemed to be destined winners, having dropped no maps in any of the rounds until meeting HaHa for the second time in the Grand Final. We played with a mix due to rumble getting banned from the league cause he ringed for Winners in the consolation final which they lost but HaHa made conflict about rumble and here we are :) gz about the victory i bet it was sweet.

that sounds pretty sucky.. did Rumble bet on him self or against him self?

2008-11-11 17:22

sorry, can someone rewrite for me: 'cause he ringed for Winners in the consolation final which they lost' ?

"ringed" - played as a freelancer, maybe that is better?

Yes, I get it now, but tell me, why did rumble play for winners? Did they need the fifth or ...??

ye they didnt get any other to play i think =F

#3 Yea we lost 14-16 and 17-21 when none of my teammates even played seriously in the first game, hence the player changes. #4 Changing one player who doesn't even call strats on a team that practices a lot hardly makes it mix, us never having played with that team before made us mix ;D And yeah, the win was sweet considering you protested us out of ESL EM and tried to do the same here without success ;D

we only did the protest this time - because you got rumble banned from the qualifier thus making the final some what sucky. And you even yourself know its like playing a mix when someone does not know any strat. :P EM case is pretty different in many ways, considering the fact you lost 2 games and our loss against you guys should have not mattered at all if you guys wouldnt have conflicted those 2 matches you lost. And like i said to you earlier we did not even make that protest but w/e. :] gz

2008-11-11 19:04

Good job, Tomi. Hope you get sponsors and try to make your team stabile.

2008-11-11 20:21

yeh, you're right, you've never played with those guys on your team before. oh wait, wings, serious, 4K, excello and Team Finland for ENC.

2008-11-12 06:13

the fact that the ESL admins is affraid to take action is not sweet, it's just sad...

2008-11-12 14:00

nice to make a conflict after match that you've won :) gz lurppis :))

2008-11-11 17:20

haha

2008-11-11 18:02

lol, four maps in a row, that's sick.

I thought for a moment that lurppis was shabby but I was obviously wrong. I also saw ATS.fi as a proper team, but losing to a mix is sad - but happens!

2008-11-11 18:03

didnt you see what i wrote? dont know what would have the case been if we could have played that match with our original lineup. we got lebari to play the final 5minutes earlier than it started so we played as a mix TOO. :]

at least you had to win on of the four maps.. so don't cry about that 'last second stand in', rumble should know that his behaviour could have bad consequences for your team.

2008-11-11 18:38

we had to win one bo3 to win the qualifier. anyways im not crying (does it seem like that? -_-) im just pointing out that we were a mix too, that does not stand out in the news.

excuses ?? :D:D

2008-11-11 19:16

HeHe :) Yes OfCouRSe :DD :DD XcUZ-Z :P :)

2008-11-11 20:50

I wasn't aware of that fact which obviously have had influence on your game, however you were stille the better team in my opinion! :D

2008-11-11 22:30

what you wrote there is properly one of the most unintelligent things i have ever seen.

2008-11-12 13:55

Then you haven't seen anything yet.

2008-11-12 15:57

no i guess not, you just topped the list again, congratz...

2008-11-12 16:09

So sad :E Had such high expectations for ATS.fi

2008-11-11 18:09

HaHa

2008-11-11 18:12

Well played! :]

#19 What made you think ATS played seriously? I My self was wathing the game and it seem like they were playing pretty much the same like your team, only they won.

They'd be pretty dumb not to play seriously when they're a sponsored team that practices multiple hours on a daily basis ;D

2008-11-11 19:15

yup true they are DUMB :D and changing 1 player cannot be called mix..lol @ freon.. cryin coz they lost :p :p

how is it not a mix? how can they possibly do their usual strats/setups when 1 guy has no idea whats happening. The changing of 1 player, REGARDLESS of whether or not he was the strat caller, has a huge effect on the dynamic/ability of a team.

2008-11-12 09:39

I don't know how it works down under but over here you can simply tell a guy to hold ct side middle or go slowly from halls with another guy and throw 2 flashes, 4 people can still easily execute most strats (unless you're an idiot). About your earlier post; I never said I haven't played with them before but we've never played with this team and haven't played together in any team 2 years now so that hardly changes anything about us being a mix and having no strats or anything.

2008-11-12 13:32

nice post. i understand where you are coming from, however from what i've seen of ATS.fi and from how you described their practice schedule, i didnt think that a ringer would be able to slot in very effectively, as they appear to be a very thorough and coordinated team with more complex strats then '2 halls' or 'do this and flash on my call' :]

2008-11-12 13:49

dont really care what this #26 guy is saying but i have no hard time admitting they played better than us in the final. #19 we played pretty serious =P ofc winning the first half 13-2 made it maybe look like we were running around on ct.

2008-11-11 19:26

lol ye.. nice to see dat u admitted they were better and U lost.. its part of life mate.. good u accpted it.. just dun cry like sayin even u guys played MIX !

2008-11-11 19:32

HaHa won deal with it, its not like blaming each other now will change the result. gg HaHa, better luck next time ATS.fi

lurBis goEs Mad :;DDDDDDD

2008-11-11 20:03

I think lurppis needs just to join ATS.fi and it'll be perfect :DDD Just kidding. GL ATS, respect for winning MiBR etc. GLHF lurppis and co.

2008-11-11 20:23

2008-11-11 20:56

4kings + lurrpis = gg =]

2008-11-11 20:58

not sure but i think in 4 you can do most of strats and i am prety sure the player you ask to play for you was not a noob....

2008-11-11 21:04

owned 4 maps in a rox LOL now i know why the clan is name HaHa

2008-11-11 21:17

luurpis goes clan once again <33

2008-11-11 23:10

gratz but i dont understand why everyone cries when ATS still got the chance to get a spot to EPS, there aint really any good teams in the "international" qualifier except lanklan and if im not mistaken two teams from that qualifier is getting spots in EPS so whats the problem? start acting like the professionals you actually are.
