Video: lurppis after fnatic victory

4-11-2010 12:12

We got a hold of Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen from Evil Geniuses after him and his team had eliminated fnatic from World e-Sports Masters 2010.

Evil Geniuses won the match against fnatic, where they needed three overtimes, before the victory was home safe. We got a hold of the Evil Geniuses in-game leader Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen, who comments on the victory against fnatic. The in-game leader also comments on the swapping of Ediz "goodfornothing" Basol with Derek "dboorN" Boorn and how that came in to play at this tournament.

Make some sort of punishment? Would help a little, if you just remove users write rights for some days and they get a mail explaining why..

No matter how many bans you hand out, people will still do it, find a proxy, create a new user and so on.

It really can't understand why fnatic didn't exploit the middle doors more, they had to notice that EG wasn't really holding it at all. Every round except for one where they threw a couple of flashes over to B and rushed it they won. Or they could have easily rushed 4 or even 5 guys through the middle to B with a couple of smokes blocking frod's awp. It really helped EG to play a bit oldschool 3-2 set-up, it's just curious that carn didn't pick that up.
