EG best coL to win EM America

Evil Geniuses won the Extreme Masters American Continental Finals with a relaxed 2-0 win over compLexity.

Following the ESEA Finals last month, this was expected to be a close encounter but it ended up being anything but that as EG proved far too strong for coL, winning the match on just two maps and conceding 12 rounds.

The match began on de_nuke, where EG showed a strong CT side, going into the second half up 10-5. It was expected that coL would respond in the same way but EG had other plans, and so they set the score at 16-8 to take the lead in the tie.

On de_train, EG managed to start the map as CT and took complete advantage of that as they were up by seven rounds when switching sides. coL knew they had a mountain to climb in the second half but they could never find themselves, allowing their opponents to seal an impressive 16-4 win.

Scores dont really give a good gauge on what really happened. If coL had grabbed all the pistol rounds instead of EG you would have seen an entirely different outcome. coL simply needed to grab atleast two of those pistol rounds and not doing so lost it for them.

Well, that's what coL needs to practice to get to the top. Pistol rounds are like one of the most deciding aspects in CS matches. Look that the best teams in the world - fnatic, again - play CRAZY pistol rounds. And the best players - f0rest and neo are wunderbar with pistols :D

What Americans consider confident the rest of the world consider arrogant. Americans tend to have way to good confidence, it's a part of the American way of behaving! You can see the diffrence in the interviews with European players and Americans, Europeans tend to be more "chill" and respect their opponents

it all came down to the pistol rounds. people who say that EG dominated the gun rounds anyway don't know how this game is played. Pistol rounds give teams momentum. the winning team is automatically 3 rounds ahead (usually) and right off the bat they are able to take more risks than the losing team. EG is a great team, but they lose to coL all the time, and they'll probably lose to them the next time around.
