Power Gaming defeat TyLoo 2-0

18-12-2009 09:47

Power Gaming find themselves in the Grand Final at World Esports Masters, after they defeated TyLoo 2-0, in a match that was paused a lot of times due to steam and PC problems.

The Finnish team faced Chinese home court hope TyLoo, starting off on de_inferno. What was expected to be an intense battle to reach the Grand Final was washed away, as TyLoo did not stand s chance against Power Gaming. Especially Samu "plastE" Aalto made TyLoo having a hard time.

First map was besides a power-performance by Power Gaming, paused for almost one hour. First it was Juuso "contE" Sajakoski who had dropped from the game, he had a virus on his PC and they had to replace his hard drive. Later several players dropped from the game, due to the internet connection at the venue went up and down. Once the game continued, it did not take long before Power Gaming sealed the win with 16-6.

Second map de_nuke saw Power Gaming continued their dominance of TyLoo. The Finnish team started CT and once again TyLoo was not allowed to shine at all. Second map also had a few issues with players dropping from the game, mainly due to losing the connection to steam. Once Power Gaming had finished their CT side, they were up by 13-2. TyLoo got to claim a lot of CT rounds, but never came close to winning the Fins. Power gaming took the three rounds needed, to win 16-11 and 2-0 overall.

The Finnish team now find themselves in the Grand Final at World Esports Masters. It has been some time since a Finnish team has made it to the Grand Final at an international event of this size. It has also been quite some time, since a Finnish team has won a major event. We have to go all the way back to WSVG Louisville 2007, where 69N-28E won the event by defeating SK Gaming in the Grand Final.

Power Gaming will be up against fnatic and the match will be played 07:00CET Saturday. The winner of the event can pocket $22,500 while second place will cash in $7,500. Tune in tomorrow and watch the very last match from World Esports Masters 2009.

could you please give us an update about the upcoming military service for some of the team's members and about the future of power gaming?

As far as i'm aware they've put in an application to postpone army duties for another year, they expect official confirmation of postponment in the post when they arrive home from WEM. But anything can happen, i guess.

even if they dont get it postponed, they can just go there and tell their back hurts very bad. The doctors there then give you precondition class "E", which means that you can come back next year. or next two years.. :D

You can choose civil service in stead, that's 13 months wiping asses at retirement homes etc. If you refuse both it's around 3 months in jail.

3 months? In what country are you living in :E Its 175 - 190 days in jail..also civil service is around 11 months, and instead of wiping asses theres plenty of options in the public departments for jobs.

Yeah, unless you're depressed or somehow ill that they give you the class "C" tag, which releases you from the duty

2009-12-18 19:48

2009-12-18 09:56

2009-12-18 10:13

2009-12-18 10:19

c`mon , wake him !!pour some water on his face , DO SOMTHING >:D< :ekk: :(

2009-12-18 13:59

power gaming <3 but i think fnatic stil remains the best

PowerGaming :o

2009-12-18 10:21

they will definitely take down fnatic in the final :D just because fnatic has already won everything.. they wont be so hungry.

2009-12-18 10:24

yeahhhh, nice

2009-12-18 10:26

" THE BEST PENDING MATCH OF THE YEAR "

2009-12-18 10:33

haha ~~really the best

2009-12-18 10:46

i bet fnatic will take this final ...

2009-12-18 10:35

The final is gonna be awesome..But, when is it, the final?

2009-12-18 10:45

Tomorrow I believe...

2009-12-18 10:56

I am so sad!!!!!!!!

TyLoo must get 3rd place.... so dont be so sad )))

2009-12-18 11:03

where can i download the hltv demo ?

2009-12-18 11:01

thank you very much!! the money of 3rd and 4th Place is the same, so no race 3,4.

2009-12-18 11:15

tyloo did not make into finals, again :/ Nix give us the demo, Pls! :)

2009-12-18 11:10

The game is counter-strike and if you can't play the game, you shouldn't be in the final? aight? It was a rape since the beginnin, alot better teams in the finals, gl for tyloo in the future they might have to train another year, lol.

2009-12-18 11:35

Who sad that tyloo can't play the game? They are 100 times better than PG(talking about this year) on many fronts results,performance,their game,attended events and much more, but that is that PG was way better in this tournament and they make into the finals, not tyloo.

2009-12-18 12:02

If i remember right this is second big event for powergaming at this year? So its pretty hard to compare past results.. At wcg they did good and in wem so far awesome.

2009-12-18 16:20

fnatic deserve this, after beeing 09 best team!

Bullshit, PG deserves this for being clearly the best team in this tournament so far.

2009-12-18 11:16

Which ever team actually wins deserves the victory. Simple as that.

2009-12-18 11:29

thats a weird way of thinking

2009-12-18 11:26

you think if you say that everybody will say +1 ?

2009-12-18 12:00

No cause you're a little douche going "-1" on every post

2009-12-18 19:52

in my life i dont say +1 or -1 to an post man :)

2009-12-18 20:21

Sorry if I messed you up with some other dude, probably same/similar flag :)

2009-12-18 20:49

i hope PG win the grand final it has been soooooooo long since theyve won an internats tournament they really need it GL!

2009-12-18 11:12

this is lan?

He probably means International.

2009-12-19 00:07

True

2009-12-19 01:46

TyLoo is still not able to climb mountains......

2009-12-18 11:28

demo...

2009-12-18 11:33

nice pg!

as I thought, GL @ Grand Final PG

2009-12-18 11:38

Would it be impossible for them to play with steam in offline mode so it doesn't require an internet connection to play? Block the internet totally from all player computers? :/ Seems to be the main cause. I mean, developing a virus during a match seems rediculous :s But GG to PG, hope fnatic win the final but PG will give them hell i'm sure.

2009-12-18 11:50

PG faces fnatic again :D Hard match 4 fnatic

2009-12-18 12:01

btw have you guys heard the news about the new ua team? (ceh9, markeloff, starix, edward, zeus) sounds gr8

go go power rangers XD...

2009-12-18 12:06

2009-12-18 12:07

PG is very surprise this year (WCG, WEM) gg

2009-12-18 12:11

Fail event of the year !

2009-12-18 12:17

I was hoping TyLoo would win the whole tourny. Good luck PG.

2009-12-18 12:18

Lets go PG!

2009-12-18 12:24

go power gaming gogogogo.... 69n28e 4 ever...

2009-12-18 12:27

2009-12-18 12:57

ruuit :S

2009-12-18 13:01

GL alex, you did the best.. GL PG

lets hope power gaming continues to play as good as they played this tournament

2009-12-18 13:23

The team back then was contE, lurppis, natu, naSu and ruuit iirc, wasn't it? plastE and tihOp are definitely worthy replacements although lurppis and natu are indeed great players as well. Glad to see these guys still got it, they're playing insane these days! =)

2009-12-18 13:42

tyloo disapointed me:( my bet lost

2009-12-18 13:53

gl SOOME

nice game from PG, it will be an amazing match vs fnatic

2009-12-18 14:14

GO GO PG!

2009-12-18 14:20

Good job! I was always wondering why all those matches are played on the steam. Make Valve do some 'tournament' version without that system. It would be easier for everyone, lol :)

2009-12-18 14:24

Then they'd have to build new hltv for us =) (I think)

2009-12-18 16:03

natu is a good play, but contE needs stay in this team! =DD

2009-12-18 14:30

good player*

2009-12-18 15:05

sad that team will be out in 2010

2009-12-18 15:04

They might keep on playing. I suggest you read the comments before posting =)

how has contE been playing? i haven't had a chance to watch and i know hes the stand-in for the event.

2009-12-18 15:33

gooooooooooood

conte is playing good, but i would like to see conte using more awp... but they are doing so great, no changes...

PG are win fnatic in one map, but in BO3 system they must give all best for win, GL both teams in finals.

2009-12-18 16:28

gg PG gl for the finals

2009-12-18 16:52

wtf with all this disconnects.. I didnt watch the game, but if that issues help any team win some rounds imo it should be replay anyway good luck PG! Hope you win :)

GG PG

2009-12-18 17:14

2009-12-18 17:19

"up and down" What does it mean? I sure it 's not "go up and go down". Right?

2009-12-18 17:49

Up and down = having and not having internet connection on the venue. A working connection is up and a non-working connection is down. Also including go (in this case past tense went) twice would be redundant and is really not needed ;)

2009-12-19 00:17

wtf is wrong with pc's , there is always something wrong..

2009-12-18 20:08

when pg won vs tyloo that means again was kicked out from the event ?? reply me ploxo kk

2009-12-19 02:28

They were kicked after match with fnatic. Tyloo & AGAiN = 3rd/4th place,ex aequo. and final is in like 3,5h ;)

2009-12-19 03:39

I get the impression this tournament was shit.... To everyone who followed it, was it?

2009-12-21 21:44

the tournament was great if you leave out the final which was ridiculous :s im not saying that because pg lost the final and played well the rest of the tournament. im saying this 'cause we saw some great matches and 'cause the final was the most boring final i've ever seen.
