Turkey wins TWC 2016

9-10-2016 22:54

Turkey defeat Argentina 2-1 (Train 16-14, Overpass 5-16, Cobble 16-8) to win The World Championship 2016!

After four days of competition, Argentina and Turkey got to the best-of-three grand final of The World Championships 2016.

With $100,000 on the line, Turkey were looking to confirm their favorite status, while Argentina were hoping to complete their underdog story with a title at the first international event they attended.

With the veto settled, the action started on Train, the playground of the Turks so far at the tournament. Argentina got to start as CT though, and managed to get up to an incredible 11-0 lead at the start of the map.

Team Turkey fought back though, and got a nine round win streak of their own. The score got tight towards the end of the map, but after a tie at 14-14 it was Turkey that managed to steal back map one with a 16-14.

Turkey seal the deal on Cobblestone to become TWC 2016 Champions

Moving on to Overpass, it was all Argentina once again, with the unlikely hero in Nahuel "⁠Straka⁠" Vazquez stepping up. Starting up on the T side, the South Americans ran away with the match in the first half, racking up a 12-3 lead and closing it out with a dominant 16-5 score.

Argentina couldn't replicate their good start on the last map though, with the Turks being the ones controlling the flow of the match from the Terrorist side of Cobblestone. Jonathan "⁠JonY BoY⁠" Muñoz and co. managed to get back to 8 rounds but that was all in the end, as Turkey closed it out 16-8 to win the series and the championship.

2016-10-09 23:06

Well, GG then, they deserved to win, they played better and it all came down to that 16-14 on the first map that Argentina showed up that they didn't knew how to play a T-Side based on strategies.

just the beggining of something huge tho, after this tournament our competitive scene will grow up a lot, believe me guachin

2016-10-09 23:24

I really hope your scene will grow up after this, that was good cs from your country. Defeating Denmark is not easy at all

Turkey is champion. but not celebrating 0% passion

How do you know that we aren't celebrating it? Just because the Serbian crowd doesn't cheers for us doesn't means that we are not celebrating it mi amigo.

2016-10-09 23:17

all a hug and ready occurred. They were the best, but not partied

2016-10-09 23:27

As a country, we aren't in a party situation unfortunately. We have bigger issues atm.

2016-10-12 04:58

make these two mix teams actual teams and lets see what happens

Argentinian ineup can be a solid tier2 team, but I don't think the same for Turkish side.

2016-10-10 17:57

Argentina new favourite SA country congrats to kebabs as well

2016-10-11 02:51

Argentinian fans seem much better than Brazilian ones. Doesn't get too cocky after winning, doesn't get salty after losing. Respect <3

you really dont know argentinians hahahahahaha

2016-10-10 04:51

No, you don't know argentinians

2016-10-10 14:26

I know they are representing us, but we don't get all "wow BR CS the best" after one team wins everything.

2016-10-10 18:10

with the bad lineups nobody cares. Everyone know that they don't represent the best cs nation in the world. I'm happy for they though!

2016-10-10 00:51

E-frag, please, next year get in touch with the players associations and the big hosting companies to agree on a real schedule, both for the online phase and the LAN. All this tournament is kind of pointless unless the best players of each country are available to play the games. Especially in the LAN phase. Thanks for the effort but please, make it a real TWC, make the nations care.

2016-10-10 01:02

+1 arg players and people from here were all expecting us to play against top swedish players, get rekt or whatever but play against them. Shake hands with forest, get right, etc. It would be Great, next year.

All of them had a chance to be in final event but they were not interested in 50k first place prize , thats not enough for them (bullshit), or even worse most of the nations sent some different lineups.Stop crying
